Basic Care for Your Pets

Your pets must rely on you for everything. For their food, water, shelter, and their basic pet care. As good pet parents, you make sure all their needs are met.

At Georgetown Animal Hospital in Georgetown, OH, our veterinarian is here to make sure you have access to the basic medical care your pets require.

Basic Home Care

Basic home care for your pets means making sure they have food that is appropriate for their breed, size, and age. For example, your 12-year-old dog has different nutritional needs than your 5-month-old cat. Both of them need to have access to water at all times.

Pets need to exercise. Again, the age and breed of the pet will determine what amount of exercise they require. You should discuss this with your veterinarian to make sure your pets maintain a healthy weight.

Veterinary Care

Getting routine care for your pets from your veterinarian is something that starts shortly after birth. By providing the basic veterinary care that is recommended, you can help your pet to have the best life possible.

Getting your pet vaccinated is part of routine pet care. Recommendations for dogs and cats are different and should be discussed with your pet doctor. In addition to vaccination, routine pet care includes dental care and spaying and neutering.

Dental care can be part of home care if you are willing to brush your pet's teeth. If not, the examination will be part of your pet's routine exam. Your vet may suggest that your pet have its teeth cleaned in the office.

Spaying and neutering are good for your pets and certainly should be discussed with your veterinarian. Medication for heartworm, fleas, and ticks are all things that are part of basic pet care.
