National Pet Awareness Month

As National Pet Wellness Month approaches, cat owners should be reminded of how important it is to regularly take your cat to the vet. Just like their owners, cats need annual checkups to remain healthy. These visits will allow your pet to be checked for any known health conditions and will keep you in-the-know about any local diseases. Veterinary trips will also increase your chances of discovering any ailments or injuries before they can cause more permanent harm to your cat.

Preventative medicine is the best way to combat common illnesses and disorders. Consistent trips to your veterinarian’s office will help both you and your vet determine what normal behavior is for your cat. While many kittens are kept under a watchful eye and taken in for their checkups, many owners forget to do the same for their older felines. Unfortunately, many permanent ailments and injuries sustained by aging cats could have been prevented with the proper care.

Diamond Pet Foods encourages all owners to keep their pets up-to-date on shots and treatments. Vigilant cat owners make all the difference in the quality of life of their pets. After all, our feline friends cannot drive themselves to the vet’s office, so it’s up to us to take proper care of our precious pets.
