The fur kids at home are also family members, so their health care can't be neglected! Today, let's talk about the complete guide to pet care, so that you can easily become a pet care expert~
1 Cleaning and care
Bathing: Before bathing your pet, remember to comb the hair first to remove dead hair and dandruff. When bathing, pet-specific shampoo is essential, which is gentle and non-irritating. After washing, rinse thoroughly, don't leave any residue!
Ear cleaning: Ears are a good place for bacteria to hide. When cleaning, you must use a special cleaning solution. Soak a cotton ball and wipe it gently. Take care of the outer ear and inner ear canal, but don't insert it too deep to avoid hurting the little guy.
Drying treatment: After bathing and cleaning the ears, remember to use a clean towel or a hair dryer (low temperature) to dry the pet, especially the ears. Keeping them dry can prevent infection.
2 Health care
Nail trimming: Pets’ nails grow fast, so trim them at least once a week, especially for those who love to go out for a walk. Be careful when trimming, don’t cut the blood line, take your time, and let the pet gradually adapt.
Deworming: Deworming is a big deal, both internal and external, and regular deworming cannot be forgotten. Internal deworming medicine, external deworming spray or drops, choose according to the pet’s situation and doctor’s advice.
Epidemic prevention: Vaccines are a protective umbrella for preventing diseases, and regular vaccination is essential. Take your pet to the pet hospital on time, get vaccinated for common diseases, and protect their healthy growth.
3 Oral care
Brushing frequency: Pets also need to brush their teeth! At least three times a week, use a pet-specific toothbrush and toothpaste to gently clean teeth and gums.
Note: Don’t brush too hard when brushing, just brush gently to avoid hurting the gums. Pets may not adapt at first, so slowly guide them to get used to this new habit.
Regular check-ups: Don’t forget to check your pet’s mouth regularly to see if there are any signs of plaque, tartar or gingivitis, so that problems can be discovered and dealt with in a timely manner.
4 Diet management
Balanced diet: Pets also need balanced nutrition, including protein, fat, carbohydrates, vitamins and minerals. Choose the right pet food and match it with the right amount of homemade food to keep your pet healthy and happy.
Avoid overfeeding: Don’t spoil your pet. Overfeeding or feeding unhealthy food is a big taboo. Control the amount of food you eat to avoid obesity and other health problems.
Water intake: Water is the source of life, and it is also important to ensure that your pet has enough water intake. The water bowl should be cleaned and changed frequently to keep the water clean and fresh.
