•  Preventing disease and maintaining health are the first steps toward a healthy, long life. Take your pet to the vet at least once a year for a complete exam, and follow your veterinarian’s advice regarding preventive measures.
•  Unless you plan to breed your pet, pay or neuter them right away – especially cats as having kittens is stressful and will contribute to premature aging.
•  Feed your pet high-quality food designed to meet the specific nutritional requirements during all stages of his life.  Supplements can also ensure your loved one receives all they need for longevity and overall health. Read more on how Poly-MVA for Pets and other healthy supplements can help.
•  If you have a cat, keep it primarily indoors to reduce the risk of accidents, injuries from fights, and disease.
•  Prevent obesity by controlling your pet’s diet and engaging them in play activities. For dogs, exercise them moderately everyday, but don’t overdo it. Watch for excessive panting or a drooping tail.
•  Add vitamin and mineral supplements, antioxidants and extra fiber to your pet’s diet.
•  Keep your pet’s teeth clean. Good dental health will add years to their life.
•  Groom your pet daily and check for abnormalities. Seek medical attention if you find anything suspicious.
•  Protect your pet from environmental dangers such as household cleaners and second-hand smoke.
•  For cats, provide a heat source such as a heating pad set on low. Cats more than 12 years old require extra heat. There will be a difference in their activity level.
•  Be consistent with your dog’s schedule. For both cats and dogs, minimize household disruption. Also allow a quiet place for your cat to engage in catnaps.
