Helping Sacramento pets live their best life is what we do, and pet preventive care is where it\u2019s at. Keep reading for our top tips for a healthy pet.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Healthy Body<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Focusing on keeping your pet\u2019s body strong and healthy is the foundation of a healthy pet. Things that make a big difference include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Feeding a healthy diet that is appropriate for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bowmanvet.com\/blog\/kibble-questions-understanding-pet-nutrition\/\">your pet\u2019s nutritional needs<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Providing fresh, clean water at all times<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Providing daily exercise to foster physical fitness<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Helping your pet maintain a healthy body weight<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Keeping your pet\u2019s fur and skin mat free and clean<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Trimming toenails as appropriate<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Making sure ears are clean and free of debris<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Providing a good <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bowmanvet.com\/blog\/how-to-brush-your-pets-teeth-a-step-by-step-guide\/\">home dental care<\/a> routine<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is also your responsibility as your pet\u2019s caretaker to notice when they are a bit off. Having a good knowledge about your non-human family member\u2019s normal habits and behaviors can help to alert you when something is not right. The sooner you notice an issue and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bowmanvet.com\/forms\/appointment.html\">contact us<\/a>, the sooner we can help.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Healthy Mind<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mental health is just as important for our four-legged friends as it is for us humans. Providing a mentally stimulating and secure environment is key to keeping our California pets healthy and happy.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So how can you support pet mental health?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Provide a safe environment for your pet to thrive<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Encourage daily physical exercise<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Allow social interaction with people and other animals as tolerate by the pet<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Supply safe and fun toys (consider rotating these)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Encourage activities that stimulate the brain such as training sessions, games, and interactive toys<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Recognize and ask for help with mental health issues such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bowmanvet.com\/blog\/enough-is-enough-dealing-with-pet-anxiety\/\">anxiety<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Pet Preventive Care<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A good <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bowmanvet.com\/veterinary-services\/wellness-preventive-care.html\">pet preventive care plan<\/a> involves focusing on a few key areas. Our expert team is here to help you with:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Routine wellness examinations: <\/strong>Scheduling visits for wellness care at least annually can help prevent and catch problems. Routine physical examinations give us the opportunity to notice subtle changes and discuss concerns in a timely manner.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Screening testing: <\/strong>It is so much better to catch a small issue before it becomes a problem. Routine testing for parasites, infectious diseases, overall organ function, and health is an important part of pet health.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Spay and neuter services: <\/strong>For many pets spay or neuter at an appropriate age can help support overall health. Your pet\u2019s veterinarian can discuss timing.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Dental care: <\/strong>Not only do clean teeth smell better, but pet dental health is an important component of good, proactive pet care. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bowmanvet.com\/veterinary-services\/dentistry.html\">Routine oral exams and anesthetized cleanings<\/a> are a part of any animal\u2019s wellness plan.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Vaccination plans: <\/strong>Vaccinations provide an important opportunity to prevent serious diseases. A personalized vaccination recommendation plan is made for each pet.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Parasite prevention: <\/strong>Prevention recommendations against infectious agents like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bowmanvet.com\/blog\/pet-parasite-protection-why-flea-and-tick-prevention-is-an-all-year-commitment\/\">fleas, ticks<\/a>, intestinal parasites, and heartworms can make a big difference in a pet\u2019s health and longevity.\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pet preventive care starts at home and continues here at the veterinary hospital.
