Well, the New Year is Here!

How many have made resolutions?  And how many resolutions include your loved four legged family member?

Examples of New Years Resolutions for Pets:

• I will brush Fluffy's teeth every day so we can enjoy an extra 2 years of life together.
• I will make sure Maka gets an extra walk every day so she is lean and healthy and has lower chances of diabetes, arthritis, and kidney disease.
• I will present simple training challenges for Maui every day coupled with a lot of praise so he can feel important, useful, and have healthy self esteem.
• I will feed Sheba lower carbohydrate, healthier food cooked at lower temperatures so she will have less body inflammation and carcinogen exposure.
• I will not smoke around Petey.
• I will not give Snookums junk food, instead providing lean meat treats like cooked chicken breast or colored veggies (no onions grapes or raisins please).
• I will give Charlie a gentle massage once a week since he is over 7 and may have joint discomfort.
• I will insure Bongo does not get heartworm disease, fleas or ticks by giving her monthly preventative.
• I will do something new with Doodle every week to keep him active.
• I will get Makena's lump checked to be sure there are no cancer cells.
• I will be kind, compassionate and caring at all times to my loved pet.
