Our precious pooches enrich our lives in so many ways, from smothering us with slobbery kisses to sharing cuddles with us on the couch. Being responsible dog owners is the best way to show them your love back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

September is Responsible Dog Ownership Month, and our team<\/a> at BEEVET Animal Hospital<\/a> is here with some great ways to practice responsible dog ownership and celebrate your favorite canine companion all year long. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Stay Current on Your Pup\u2019s Preventive Veterinary Care<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Keeping up with your dog\u2019s preventive veterinary care<\/a> is the gift that keeps on giving. When you treat your pet to routine examinations, vaccines<\/a>, parasite prevention, and appropriate diagnostic tests<\/a>, you give your dog the best chance at a long, happy, healthy life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Maintain That Megawatt Smile<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Hand in hand with preventive veterinary care is dental care for dogs. Your dog\u2019s BEEVET doctor will make recommendations regarding the timing of professional dental cleanings<\/a> at your pup\u2019s preventive care visit.

Serve Up Healthy Nutrition for Dogs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Feeding your dog a balanced, nutrient-rich diet formulated for his stage of life can greatly increase your dog\u2019s overall health and wellbeing. Tailoring your dog\u2019s diet to suit his age, weight<\/a>, and activity level is key, and we are happy to provide nutritional counseling and make recommendations during your dog\u2019s wellness appointment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Provide Enough Exercise for Dogs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Some dogs are happy with a leisurely stroll, but some need vigorous physical activity, such as swimming<\/a> or agility courses, to keep them in tip-top shape. This month, try some new activities with your dog to discover a new form of exercise for dogs<\/a> that will keep your pet\u2019s tail wagging all year long.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
