F.A.Q.
The frequency of feeding your pet depends on their age, size, and activity level. Puppies and kittens need 3–4 meals daily, while adult dogs and cats typically do well with 2 meals. Senior pets may need smaller, more frequent meals, and those with health issues should follow a vet’s recommendations.
Deworming is essential for keeping your new pet healthy. Puppies and kittens should be dewormed every 2 weeks until 12 weeks old, then every 3 months. Adult pets generally need deworming every 3 to 6 months, depending on their lifestyle and exposure to parasites.
Regular vet visits are crucial for your pet’s health, with annual checkups recommended for all pets, and senior pets benefiting from more frequent visits. If you notice behavioral changes, signs of pain, or digestive issues, it’s important to seek veterinary care. Immediate attention is also needed for emergencies, such as severe injuries or difficulty breathing.
Heartworm prevention is crucial to protect your pet from a potentially fatal disease transmitted by mosquitoes. It’s recommended to start prevention early, around 6-8 weeks for puppies, and continue with monthly or yearly treatments. Consult your vet for the best heartworm prevention plan, even for indoor pets.
