Owning a pet is a huge responsibility, you need to make sure you care for your pets health by giving them the correct Food, enough water, the right housing and enough exercise.
With so many cases of pets being miss-treated and incorrectly cared for I thought id share some of my tips, ideas and finding to help you maintain your Pets health to the highest standard.
The most common family pet is the dog, often considered a family member and should be cared for in the same way. Depending on the size and breed of your dog different amounts of time should be allocated each day for walks, generally the larger the breed the longer you will need to spend walking.
There is not an exact amount of time you should walk your dog, timescales should be based on the following aspects
- The shorter your dogs legs the less distance he can go
- Hot weather will make your dog more prone to overheating so in the summer months it is wise to take shorter walks and remember to take a sufficient amount of water for your dog to drink.
- Generally dogs can walk further when walking on dirt trails or softer ground, rough concrete can be hard on the pads of their feet.
- Take into account your dogs age and health, if your dog is not used to being walked remember to break him in gently starting with short walks and gradually build up to longer ones.
- If your dog has health problems such as arthritis or heart disease it is best to seek advice from your veterinarian to discuss how far your dog should be walked.
Understanding what your dog is comfortable with when waling will keep your pets health in optimum condition.
When it comes to your pets Health one of the main things you are in control of is what they eat. Generally when purchasing pet food the higher the cost the better the quality.
Always do your research to make sure you are feeding your pet exactly what they need, providing them with a well balanced diet that contains the vitamins and nutrients they need will keep your pet healthy and will lead to a longer happier life.
As humans we are responsible for our pets health and how we care for and feed them, remember that younger animals such as kittens or puppies will need a balanced formula food that is different for normal dog food, if given the wrong food it can lead to growth that is to fast which can then lead to bone, joint and many other problems.
Food You Should NEVER Feed A Dog
- Believe it or not one of the worst things you can give your dog is chocolate! Even in small amounts it can be fatal for smaller dogs and can cause serious problems with your pets health. This is due to Theo bromine which can increase the heart rate and blood pressure of your dog.
- Onions, feeding a dog onions can be fatal, onions contain a substance which alters and can destroy red blood cells in dogs this can lead to haemolytic anaemia and sometimes even death
Pet owners love their pets and although you may feel like you are giving them the correct care you could be harming them without even knowing it. Every pet owner should take the time to research and understand all about their pets heath so you can enjoy a long and happy life together.

is anyone else sick of these silly people asking questions about the health of there pets?
Now Im sorry If I am being rude but if your pet is sick you take it to the vet just like we go to the Doctor. I know the vet is expensive but if you cant afford to look after your pet you shouldn’t have it in the first place Im sick of people asking stupid questions like My dog is weeing blood is that bad what should I do or my dog is vomiting and has diarrhoea how do I help it? Seriously Think about what you are asking a bunch of People who prob are gonna tell you to take it to the vet anyway!!!!!!!! ARGGGGGGGGG

Yes I am..
"my dog got hit by a car. Haven’t got money for the vet, what do I do?"
"my cat has been vomitting non-stop all day. No emergency vet open. Will she be alright?"
Questions like these are soo common, I’ve given up answering them.
I mean I rushed my poor kitty to an emergency vet at 1 in the morning, found out she had been bitten by a snake, so I gave the go ahead for the vet to treat her (which was far from cheap). I went home, only to get a phone call an hour later to say she hadn’t made it.
Did I come on Y!A asking what I should do or for advice? NO! I took her to the vet for treatment, like I should have.
Did I care that I spent all that money on her treatment only for her not to make it? NO! She deserved a chance to get better and recover.
Just take your pet to the vet …

as well as:
"i just found/bought ____, how do i take care of it?"
- put it back where you found it – it doesnt want to be a pet
- maybe you should have though of that before you bought the animal?
"why wont my parents let me get a ____?"
- i dont know, ask your parents!
"what pet should i get?" <— with NO details
- really. we dont know you, how can we help
"babies are cute/ i want money. how do i breed ____?"
- research it. breeding for money and cuteness is a bad idea.
hmm..
i guess a lot of the people on here are young, and so cant take the pet to the vets themselves. even so, its still obvious thats theres nothing people on the internet can do for the pet.
its best not to get stressed out about it

There are a hell of a lot of stupid people out there! Obviously if your pet is hit by a car it needs a vet but there are some more minor issues that things like this can be really useful for. Like peoples experiences of the thing that youre dealing with can help you a lot. I think a lot of people rush to a vet way too quickly (but hey if they have the money to spare good on them I guess) and could just ask advice from people with more experience to get the simple answer they need. But some people do need to learn where to draw the line!

Oh, hell, yeah. No one here can replace a vet visit if your pet is sick. I’ve worked for vets for 7 years, and I still wouldn’t try to diagnose someone’s sick animal over the internet. I can only answer simple, basic questions.
Yes, and if you can’t afford basic vet care or can’t beg or borrow some money for it, you don’t need a pet.

I agree…and if they really need to ask then at least they should ring the vets and ask for advice ..I’m wondering if it’s young kids asking these questions sometimes..I’d find it scary if it was adults being so ignorant.
