The beginning of the year is always brimming with potential. It\u2019s easy to become inspired by all the things you want to see and do in the next year, but let\u2019s face it, these super positive ambitions can lose their glow by March. How can we sustain our hopes and dreams for the new year? For starters, pet owners can spend time assessing their pet\u2019s overall health, lifestyle, and environment to determine where to place the new year’s goal posts. There are always ways to improve your pet\u2019s health and happiness, and we can help you get the ball rolling.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

What Is Optimal Health?<\/span><\/h2>\n

Every pet is unique. As such, there is no one-size-fits-all approach to<\/span> addressing their needs<\/span><\/a>. To achieve optimal health for your pet, it\u2019s important to look at all of the puzzle pieces that make them who they are. In this new calendar year, can you say that your pet\u2019s teeth are strong and healthy? What about their weight? Do they exercise every day and enjoy an age-appropriate diet?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The answers to these questions can steer your resolutions for their new year all with the intention of improving your pet\u2019s health.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Here to Help You<\/span><\/h3>\n

In a strange but common phenomenon, we often can\u2019t see changes in a pet\u2019s appearance or behavior until someone outside the home points them out. If it\u2019s been a little while (more than 12 months) since your pet\u2019s last wellness exam, this can provide valuable insight into what\u2019s happening with them. Since they mask signs of illness or injury, we often don\u2019t know a pet is suffering from something until tests come back.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

A routine pet wellness exam and diagnostics can reveal any issues and help you refine your pet\u2019s health care goals. We can also schedule a dental cleaning, exam, and X-rays to learn more about their oral hygiene.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Some Thoughts On Weight<\/span><\/h3>\n

Even a couple of extra pounds on a companion animal can have<\/span> deleterious effects on their health<\/span><\/a>. At your pet\u2019s wellness exam, we will measure their weight and compare it with previous readings. If there have been changes (either gain or loss), we can help you find out why.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Making changes to a pet\u2019s diet can be very challenging, especially if they are accustomed to receive table scraps or treats every day. It is a process that takes time and patience, and we\u2019ll be there every step of the way to help <\/span>improve your pet\u2019s health.<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

Safety First<\/span><\/h3>\n

Many pet owners do not have a plan in place during natural disasters, fires, or other emergencies. We recommend devising an evacuation plan, complete with a list of places you can go with your pet, and an emergency preparedness kit that can get you and your pet through for several days.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Establishing best practices during a natural disaster or other emergency can increase feelings of confidence and control, and goes to help protect your pet if\/when the time comes.<\/span><\/p>\n

Improve Your Pet\u2019s Health<\/span><\/h3>\n

In the new year, we encourage you to try out some new things with your pet. Whether this means driving to new locales to enjoy different sights and smells or investing in new items that boost their environment, you\u2019re helping to improve your pet\u2019s health. A healthy pet can live a long time, and contributing to their<\/span> longevity and vitality <\/span><\/a>are great goals to have in the new year.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

If you have questions about your pet\u2019s wellness, nutrition, or dental care, please call us at (916) 726-2334<\/a>. From <\/span>all of your friends<\/span><\/a> at <\/span>Sunrise Boulevard Animal Hospital<\/span><\/a>, happy new year!<\/span><\/p>\n
