Question

Taking Your Pet to the Vet

(1) Taking your pet to the vet for his or her yearly exam requires some preparation on your part. (2) You'll have only so much time with the vet, so you want to make sure you know what questions to ask.
(3) First of all, ask about your pet's diet. (4) Make sure you are feeding your pet the food that is healthiest for him or her. (5) Giving your pet unhealthy food that he or she loves the most might win you favor, but unhealthy foods won't help your pet out in the long run. (6) Your vet can make sure your pet is on a proper diet.
(7) Finally, make sure you remember to ask about any oddities in your pet's behavior. (8) Even if you think it may be a silly question, ask it—you could save your pet's life. (9) For example, if your pet starts barking or meowing more than usual, and/or jumping into the shower or sink a lot, an underlying illness may be to blame.
(10) Next, ask about your pet's exercise regime. (11) Even if your pet is at a healthy weight, he or she may not be getting the kind and amount of exercise he or she needs to have the best quality of life possible.
