4 TIPS FOR KEEPING PETS HAPPY AND HEALTHY
Doctors and pet owners all have the same goal: to keep pets happy and healthy. When you are looking for ways to treat your pet’s pain, there are many solutions that veterinarians can provide. One you might not know about is Class IV laser therapy. Laser therapy is a safe, drug-free, and noninvasive method to reduce pain.
Here are some preventative tips to keep your pet happy, healthy and pain free:
- Diet: Be sure your pet is eating high quality and healthy food. Maintaining a healthy weight is key to keeping joints healthy and allowing your pet to maintain an active lifestyle as well as helping prevent certain diseases.
- Exercise & Play: Your pet needs to exercise just like you do. Keep your dog healthy by going on regular walks. For your cat, laser pointers or other toys are a great way to get kitty up off the couch and moving around.
- Pain Management and Rehabilitation: When your pet is in pain, look to your veterinarian for suggestions about pain management or rehabilitation recommendations. Many clinics now offer therapeutic massage or exercise, Class IV laser therapy, and other drug-free solutions to strengthen your pet and return them to a high quality of life. Additionally, some veterinarians may specialize in rehabilitation therapy for pets. These programs are also effective at helping those pets that suffer from chronic conditions like arthritis.
- Parasite Protection: Keep your pet healthy by protecting them from fleas, ticks, mosquitoes and worms. Remaining parasite free is key to both their health and yours!
