In order to keep your pets safe and to allow proper growth, many healthy steps are needed when your pets are young. This will pave the way for you to have a good relationship with your pets and enjoy their company for life.

Vaccinate: Young pets are vulnerable to highly contagious illnesses such as distemper, parvo and rabies. Vaccination for young pets includes a series of shots to boost the immune system. When the series is completed regular boosters may be necessary and therefore, consult your veterinarian for pet health maintenance booster shots.

Spay or neuter: Spaying and neutering aimed at controlling unwanted pet population increases and to protect their health and wellbeing. In order to reduce the risk of cancer, female pets are recommended for spaying before the first heat. Neutering eliminates the risk of testicular cancer in male pets.

Healthy diet: When searching for a proper diet for your young pets, consider the breed and size of your pet. Certain dog breeds may gain weight rapidly causing hip dysplasia and other issues and therefore, a proper diet to control weight gain is needed.

Train: Teaching proper behavior should start early on and socialization is important to promote good behavior.
