They say after time you begin to look like your loved one. We have all seen this. The guy with a slightly robust build that has jowls mimicking that of his Basset or the Shih Tzu owner that unknowingly sports the “puppy cut”. The best thing about this, is that not just the four legged ball of energy is happy, but the owner is happy, too. It is as though it is just some kind of genetic physicality passed on–like two long lost identical twin brothers. Happy to be similar and cozy with one another.

Fido, regardless of looks or breed, is the reason most of us smile, giggle uncontrollably and cuddle ferociously when stressed. He or she is the perfect antidote to life and one that brings unconditional love and support. It is important when taking in all that love to also take the time to care and love your pet back. One of the most important things you can do is treat your dog to the gift of good health. Take them to the vet.

A yearly exam is the key to success when it comes to pets. Liken this to your child’s exams. Vaccinations, physicals, questions - the standard doctor drill should be expected and if not given, request it. Your veterinarian is highly trained, and simply by listening to your responses, running tests and giving your dog a physical he or she can point out any potential problems your little Fido is having.

Extreme changes in your loved one are the other reason to go to the vet. Changes in stool, urine, sleep/lethargy, and eating patterns may indicate a medical problem and the sooner it gets attention the better. Vets can provide you with several options so you never have to feel like you cannot provide for your pet.
