Take, for example, a sizable pile of expensive cat toys next to the coveted, yet almost discarded, cardboard box. Our efforts don\u2019t necessarily always line up with what our pets really want and\/or need. The good news is that we\u2019ll always keep trying to hit that bull\u2019s eye, and the new year is the perfect time to zero-in on pet health plans.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Lean Exercise Machine<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Most of us want to lose weight, add muscle, and eat better in the new year, and our pets could also benefit from these same goals. Even a few extra pounds can be disastrous to pet health.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Take stock of your pet\u2019s diet and nutritional needs. Depending on their age, lifestyle, environment, and medical history, they may need changes to their food, portion sizes, and even ingredients. While it\u2019s never a good idea to rapidly enforce a weight loss plan, gradual shifts toward a slim shape are important. What\u2019s more, when a pet feels good, they behave in the best possible ways. You\u2019ll likely notice positive changes to their sleep patterns. They will have more energy, and will want to enthusiastically participate with you and other members of the household.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We encourage you to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eastsacvet.com\/pet-wellness.html\">make an appointment for a routine wellness exam<\/a> in order to safely achieve your pet health goals in the new year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">One Paw In Front of the Other<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>To improve your pet\u2019s health and happiness in the new year, increase their exercise frequency and duration. This will not only dovetail nicely with your weight loss goals but will add to their daily vitality and wellness. A regular dose of vigorous exercise improves their mental acuity, keeps their joints strong, and their heart healthy. Plus, the very nature of exercising together reinforces the strong bond between you. Win-win!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">New Tricks<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The new year is one of the best times to sharpen your pet\u2019s skills. Teach them new commands or tricks that are fun and useful, such as toilet training, finding your keys, or fetching the mail. Obedience training is a lifelong endeavor. If it\u2019s been awhile since&nbsp; your pet learned basic obedience, sign them up for more training techniques. A bonus to this experience is that they\u2019ll probably make a friend or two in the process, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eastsacvet.com\/blog\/should-i-worry-that-my-puppy-doesnt-interact-with-other-dogs\/\">upping their socialization game as well<\/a>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Pet Health at Home<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.eastsacvet.com\/blog\/take-your-cat-with-youanywhere\/\">Enrich your pet\u2019s indoor environment<\/a> with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eastsacvet.com\/blog\/feline-preferences-should-you-build-a-catio\/\">new climbing structures<\/a>, vantage points, or snuggle zones. When you have to leave them at home for any periods of time, provide them with engaging puzzle toys or treat dispensers that require time and persistence. They\u2019ll likely enjoy a long snooze after receiving their reward, so they\u2019ll be ready for action when you return.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Improve pet health by adhering to a<a href=\"https:\/\/www.eastsacvet.com\/blog\/pet-dental-care-why-it-matters-and-what-you-can-do\/\"> strict dental care routine<\/a>. This means tooth brushing every few days (or daily!), providing dental treats, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eastsacvet.com\/pet-dental.html\">maintaining professional cleanings and X-rays.<\/a>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Grooming is another way to improve pet health. Brush and comb their coat, trim their nails, and clean their ears and eyes.
