Health and wellbeing.

From desexing to dental care, keeping our pets healthy involves more than just vet visits. Did you know desexing can actually extend your cat's life and prevent serious health issues like mammary cancer? And while dental problems might seem minor, they can lead to heart, liver, and kidney disease. Plus, understanding common puppy and kitten ailments like gastroenteritis can help you know when to seek urgent veterinary care. Explore our articles to learn more about preventative care and keeping your furry friends happy and healthy:

Veterinary care and visits. 

Building a good relationship with your vet is like having a trusted partner in your pet's health journey. It's about more than just vaccinations – it's about having a vet who understands your pet's medical history and individual quirks. Did you know that capturing your pet's symptoms on video can be incredibly helpful for your vet? It can help them differentiate between similar-looking conditions and get to a diagnosis faster. And while regular checkups are always important, they become even more crucial as our pets age. For senior pets, twice-yearly visits are recommended to catch any potential issues early on. But what if you can't get to the vet in person? That's where online vet services like VetAssist come in, offering convenient access to expert advice from the comfort of your home. Learn more about the importance of a good vet relationship, how often to visit your vet, and the benefits of online vet consultations in our full articles.

Grooming.

Cats are known for their fastidious nature, but even the cleanest feline needs a little help. Did you know that regular grooming isn't just about a shiny coat; it can prevent hairballs and other health issues? And while cats are naturally toilet trained, keeping their litter box clean is essential for their well-being. From brushing tips for short and longhaired cats to advice on dental care and nail trimming, our articles cover everything you need to know about cat hygiene:
