New Year Resolutions for Your Pet

Palm Harbor Patch Blogger, Elizabeth Baird, who is also a veterinarian and owner of Country Oaks Animal Hospital in Palm Harbor says the most important resolutions a pet owner can make are:

  • 1) Weight Loss: Over 50% of American pets are either overweight or obese. That's 93 million dogs & cats!
  • 2) Dental Care: This is not a cosmetic issue for our pets; it is a serious health issue.
  • 3) Monitor Labwork for all Pets ages three and up.

So, how can these New Year's resolutions benefit you as a pet owner? Baird says by adopting these habits, pet owners can save money in the long run, because their pets are more likely to be healthy and less likely to suffer from costly ailments. Monitoring blood work can also alert pet owners and veterinarians to medical problems early, which could provide a wider variety of treatment options.
