A healthy pet typically has a shiny coat, clear eyes, a good appetite, and normal energy levels. Regular veterinary check-ups are essential to ensure your pet remains healthy and to catch any potential issues early.

To prevent fleas and ticks, use veterinarian-recommended preventive treatments such as topical solutions, oral medications, or collars. Regularly check your pet for signs of fleas and ticks, especially after spending time outdoors. Keeping your home and yard clean can also help reduce the risk of infestation.

The necessary vaccinations for your pet depend on their species, age, lifestyle, and health status. Common vaccinations for dogs include rabies, distemper, parvovirus, and adenovirus. For cats, common vaccinations include rabies, feline distemper, and feline herpesvirus. Consult with your veterinarian to determine the appropriate vaccination schedule for your pet.

It is recommended to take your pet to the vet at least once a year for a routine check-up. Puppies, kittens, senior pets, and pets with health issues may require more frequent visits. Your veterinarian can provide a schedule tailored to your pet's specific needs.

If your pet is overweight, consult with your veterinarian to develop a weight management plan. This may include adjusting their diet, increasing exercise, and monitoring their progress. Avoid giving your pet table scraps and high-calorie treats, and ensure they have access to fresh water at all times.

Signs of dental problems in pets include bad breath, difficulty eating, pawing at the mouth, red or swollen gums, and visible tartar buildup. Regular dental check-ups are essential to maintain your pet's oral health.

To prevent dental disease in your pet, provide regular dental care such as brushing their teeth, offering dental chews, and scheduling professional cleanings. A healthy diet can also support good oral health.
