Care & Feeding

Proper care and feeding of your pets is critical for their overall health and quality of life.

In order to maximize your pets' health and longevity, it is important to feed them properly based on their age, breed, size, stress factors and activity levels. Keep vaccinations current and maintain clean and healthy teeth and gums.

Dogs Under Stress: Hard working dogs, dogs in winter, and pregnant and nursing mothers may require as much as three times the normal daily ration of food. Watch their condition carefully to provide adequately for their needs.

August is National Immunization Awareness Month

Immunizations are very important for your pets' overall health. Responsible pet owners make sure that their pets are protected from preventable diseases to ensure a higher quality of life and a healthier pet. According to the American Veterinary Medical Association there is no "one vaccination schedule fits all" for dogs or cats any longer.

There is "increasing evidence" that some vaccinations that have previously been recommended to be given on an annual basis, will either provide immunity more than one year, or lose effectiveness before 12 months have passed. Talk to your veterinarian about the proper schedule for your pet. (Resource: www.avma.org)
