Staying home? Here’s how to keep your pet happy and healthy
Are you doing these things to keep your pet healthy?
We hope all of our customers are taking good care during this time – and that includes the furry ones.
With everything that’s going on right now, it’s easy to lose track of Fido’s nail trimmings or flea medication. But just like with humans, maintaining your pet’s health is key to preventing serious illness down the road.
Before the seasons change, we recommend you check in with your pet’s health. Are you doing these things to keep your furry friend well?
Stock up on food & supplies shipped to your house.
If you’ve been stocking up on nonperishable foods and Clorox wipes, don’t forget to stock up on pet supplies, too. Stores like Chewy.com and PetCo have autoship options, so you can ensure you don’t run out of important pet supplies like food, cat litter or puppy pads.
Refill your pet’s medications
You don’t want to run out of important medications. Give us a call at (402) 884-3383 if you need
to refill or stock up on any important medications. Flea and ticks are still a threat to your pets —
so make sure to have a few months’ supply handy to keep them protected as spring arrives. If
you need refills, we encourage you to call our office for coordination. A drop-off or curbside
service approach will be taken to limit exposure and reviewed with you at time of scheduling.
Order few extra toys for your pets
Fido will be tickled to spend more time with you. But if you’re working from home, you still need
to focus. Interactive toys will keep them busy while you meet your deadlines. For dogs, we like
the Kong — try filling it with peanut butter — or a dental bone. Your cat might enjoy some good
old-fashioned catnip. This natural herb is a great way to encourage your pets to move and play.
Exercise is important — for both of you
Try to maintain your daily exercise schedule for both you and your pets. If you’re working from
home, you’ll need a break. Take time to play fetch in the backyard. If you’re able to, walk your
dogs in a nonpublic area. Cats can enjoy some good exercise with toys like the cat dancer.
