New Year's Resolutions for Pet Owners

Must-Do New Year's Resolutions for Pet Owners

The beginning of a New Year is a good time to reflect on how you’re doing in caring for your beloved pet. There may be areas you can improve on to enhance the health and happiness of your feline or canine companion. If you haven’t scheduled annual wellness exams at Forsyth Veterinary Hospital in Winston-Salem, now is the perfect opportunity. Here are a few more New Year’s resolutions you can consider to make life better for your pet.

Healthy Living Habits

Help your pet develop healthy living habits by making sure he gets plenty of exercise and a nutritious diet. Schedule his meals and measure his food instead of simply pouring it into his bowl so he doesn’t overeat and gain weight. Choose the right food for his age and health so he gets the nutrients he needs to stay strong and healthy. If your pet has medical issues, seek counsel from your Winston-Salem vet on what food is best for his health.

Play More with Your Pet

Incorporate more pet playtime into your busy schedule. No matter how long you’ve been together, quality time gives you a stronger connection with your kit or pup. If you’re an outdoor enthusiast, take your pup along for hiking, camping, or swimming. Find a dog beach and turn your pup loose to play in the waves. Get your kit new toys that will arouse her interest and keep her engaged for hours. Then join in on the fun.

Commit to Regular Vet Care

One of the best New Year’s resolutions you can make is to commit to regular veterinary care. In addition to wellness exams, we offer a wide range of pet care services to include puppy and kitten care, senior pet care, pain management, boarding, and pet surgeries. In the event of accidents, our emergency veterinarian Winston-Salem will provide prompt and effective care.
