What would life be like without pets? They are our constant companions, our chosen family and provide us with so much joy in life. It’s no wonder that pet owners want to provide only the best for their pets and when they are healthy and happy, so are we. We can do this by cultivating their wellness and taking care of these four things: nutrition, exercise and stimulation, health, and grooming.
Nutrition: A lot of information on healthy food is available these days and it is important to ensure that you are feeding your pet the right kind for their age and body type. The right food can help your pet grow the way it should and will only make them love you more! We also have a responsibility as humans to prevent our pets from eating any food that could be toxic or harmful to their bodies.
Exercise and stimulation: Generally, dogs need regular exercise and other animals such as cats and birds can be stimulated with toys that you can buy at a pet shop. Cape Town is a great city to live in if you have dogs, and there are many places that are dog friendly where your dogs can run free and enjoy themselves. Just be sure to take doggie bags and pick up after them! There are also many pet-friendly restaurants and guest houses. Remember to keep your dog leashed and well-socialised.
Health: It is important to regularly take your pets to the vet to have them checked for any health problems. Your vet will know what to look for and might notice things that you never did. Early detection of any serious underlying issues could help save your pet's life! Also, keep abreast of vaccinations to protect your pets from diseases.
Grooming: Although it can sometimes feel like a big chore, it is essential! Not just so that your pets stay looking good, but for their overall health. These are just a few of the benefits of grooming your pet:
● Helps to prevent ticks and fleas
● Can lead to the early detection of health issues
● Keeps skin and coat healthy
● Encourages good behaviour
If you are not grooming your pet yourself, it is definitely worth investing in a professional groomer. Research shows that our pets indeed feel the benefits of a good groom! It makes your pet feel more comfortable and this improves their overall mood.
