Rabies Prevention Tips: What You Can Do To Lower Risk of Rabies Infection

It is important to learn Rabies Prevention Tips. Rabies can be fatal to anyone infected with this virus.

During summer, it is common in the Philippines to conduct Rabies Awareness. Kids have more time to play outside their homes. That means more interaction with pets, whether their own or their neighbor’s, even strays.

Here are essential tips to protect you and your family from Rabies:

> Make sure that your dog or cat is up to date with the vaccinations. Rabies vaccination is given when your pet is already three months old. Your pet will need another Rabies shot in one year then every three years for the rest of your pet’s life.

> Keep a record of your pet’s vaccination in a safe and accessible location. This is to ensure that you have proper documentation of your pet’s vaccination. You will need this when your pet bites a person or another animal.

> Your pets should stay inside your home premises. Your pets should be supervised when outside. This is a good practice in keeping your pets from contacting wild animals or strays.

> You should call your local authorities to report stray dogs and cats in the neighborhood.

> In any case of bites: your pet is bitten by another pet, stray or a wild animal; your pet bites a person (you included), another pet or wild animal – consult your veterinarian and you doctor immediately.

> If you are travelling to another country, ask your doctor about the rabies vaccine. Avoid direct contact with any animals.

With these Rabies Prevention Tips, you will be able to live without fear with your pets.

You may have a New Year’s resolution for yourself, so why not have a resolution for you and your pet?

In my years of keeping New Year’s resolutions,  I learned a simple trick to be able to sustain what I have set out to do for the year.

The secret?

Keep your new year’s resolutions simple and fun.  This way, you be more motivated to do it more often and stick to it 🙂

Now, as you think about the New Year’s resolution for you and your pet, here are some simple, do-able and fun ideas for you:

Pet New Year Resolution

Read To Your Dog

Do you read to your kids at bedtime? Have your fur baby join you.  Your pet can be allowed on the bed with the kids. If it is not allowed, your pet can can lie down by the bed.

Don’t have kids? You can read to your fur baby anyway.

  1. Take long walks.

    Take Long Walks With Your Pet

It can be on the sidewalk, or in the park—whatever works best for you and your dog. Going for a nice walk or run is one of the best ways pet owners can profess their love. Dogs really enjoy being active.

Go take your dog for a walk around the block, or spend a half an hour in the evening or early morning just going for a play.

  1.  Ear Rubs Make Your Dog High On Love

Ear Rubs Make Your Dog High On Love

Ear rubs literally make your dog high. A dog’s ears are full of nerve endings that send impulses all through the body, triggering the release of endorphins. These hormones act as painkillers and are natural “drugs” that are also released when dogs feel love.

  1.  Train Your Dog

Train Your Dog

Positive reinforcement is an excellent way to communicate your love, and training your dog will give you that opportunity and only make your bond stronger. Present your dog with their favorite forms of motivation, whether that’s food, praise, or play, and your dog will come to see you as a provider of the things he loves the most.

  1. Take time to pet your fur baby

How To Choose The Best Cat Food For Your Fur Baby (Without Over Spending!)

As a pet mom to your fur baby kitty, you only want the best for her.  Definitely!

You want her to have a loving home and experience the best care.  More importantly, you want her feel loved, feel good, and have the best nutrition.

After all, she is your one and only fur baby.

Does your cat have smelly breath? Read more about cat dental problems here.

Having her is the best thing that happened in your life.  You look forward to the daily cuddles, baby smiles, and cute meows.  Cellphone is always up and ready to snap a shot of every growth spurt of your beloved kitty.

You look forward to sitting and hugging her at the end of the day.

She is the center of your world.

That describes your weekday routine.

Now comes the weekend.  One weekend, you went shopping for the best cat food for your fur baby.

As you scan the aisle of cat foods, you see several cat food from well-known brands to unknown brands.  As you shy away from these lesser-known brands, you begin to question if those high-priced brands of cat food really deliver their promise?

As you read the labels of these pricey cat food packages, the practical side of you is still reluctant to put the cat food in your basket and open your wallet at the cashier.

So, how do you choose the best cat food for your cat?

Here are 3 factors that you should consider to make sure you are giving the best cat food to your fur baby:

  1. How old is your cat?

Do you have a kitten, pregnant, or ageing cat?  Bear in mind that they have very different nutritional needs depending on their age or life stage. The cat food that you give should be adapted to the key moments in cats’ lives.

  1. What is the lifestyle of your cat?

A cat’s nutritional needs vary considerably on whether she lives exclusively indoors or also has access outside.  A more active cat would have different nutritional needs over a sedentary cat.

  1. Is your cat sterilized?

Sterilization is also considered as a factor.

Sterilization can have a tendency to increase the appetite, while other cats can be more sensitive and have a reduced appetite. Whether these are permanent or temporary issues, the cat food that you buy has to take into account this factor to satisfy even the most demanding cat.

In all of these 3 factors, the cat food you should give to your fur baby should offer the most precise response to cats’ needs based on their age, lifestyle or some individual characteristics.

Why are cats afraid of cucumbers? Find out here.

When you take into consideration these 3 factors, you are on your way to giving the best cat food to your baby without spending more than her nutritional needs.

These factors help you stay away from cat food loaded with vitamins and nutrients for active cats, when you beloved kitty only rules over your condo.

More importantly, you will only choose the right cat food that will help maintain her health and prolong her life.

The next time you go on cat food shopping, keep in mind the 3 factors: your kitty cat’s age, lifestyle, and sterilization.

These are the same 3 factors that Royal Canin discovered in their 50 years of research on Feline Nutrition.  The specific characteristics of each feline profile and the assessment of the cat’s nutritional needs are therefore at the heart of their activities. Their research is  on 2 sources: observation of the animal and scientific

With science on your side, you can now choose the best cat food for your fur baby without over spending!

Happy cat food shopping!
