3 Things You Can Do To Care for Your Dog’s Health

Hey Neighbors!!

Dog ownership is a great joy; they bring laughter, love, and comfort. Over time they become a part of the family, and like a family member, you want to ensure they are well taken care of. There are some routine things to do to make sure you keep your dog in good health, which is your responsibility as a pet owner.

Get Your Dog Groomed Regularly

Dog grooming is important for your dog’s health. Regular dog grooming Simi Valley keeps your dog’s fur and skin healthy by preventing matted fur and keeping them clean. Groomers may also see things missed by owners, such as spotting and removing ticks as they groom your dog, which can prevent or detect potential health issues. Regular nail trimming is important to prevent pain as your dog walks, and many groomers also clean out their ears, which can reduce the chances of ear infection. As you can see, even if your dog doesn’t require a fur cut, bringing them in for other services is beneficial.

Establish Vet Care and Bring Them in Regularly

Before an issue arises in your pet, it’s a good idea to establish vet care. Bring them in for an initial check-up so your vet can get a baseline for your pet’s health, and bring them any medical records from previous vet providers. Regular check-ups are a good preventative care measure and can detect health issues early on. Typically, if health issues are caught early on, they are easier to treat.

Take Care of Their Mental Health

Dogs experience a range of emotions including sadness, boredom, and grief. It’s important to care for your dog’s mental health by giving them regular exercise, mental stimulation, and space. Be sure to note any changes in your dog’s behavior and talk to your vet about it, and about possible ways to help your dog through bouts of boredom or sadness.
Dogs bring joy and love into the home and take care of their owners in many ways. It’s loving to return the favor by taking care of them too.

What To Do About Those Fuzzy Uninvited Guests In The Home

When we talk about pests in the home, the most common that we tend to deal with are the creepy-crawlies that find their way in. Ants, termites, and spiders, for instance. Occasionally though, you have a real chance of getting a much bigger, fuzzier unwanted guest in the home. What do you do about the fact your home is at risk of becoming a wildlife sanctuary for some truly unhealthy and even dangerous beasts? Picture by Alexas_Fotos Know the signs It doesn’t matter if you’re in a suburban home, a country cottage, or a fourth-floor apartment. Some animals can find their way just about anywhere. It’s worth knowing the signs of pest infestation so you can confirm it and act on it immediately. Spotting droppings, keeping an ear out for scratching, and looking for signs of nesting like shredded paper, scrunched leaves, and grass clippings around the home without explanation can help you start fighting back.

Baby First TV 'I Can Sign" First Words

Hey Neighbors! Here is a really neat gift idea for someone with a young child.  Here we have I Can Sign (First Words) from Baby First  TV.  Now, I am just going to share right here that we have friends who have taught two of their children to sign at a very young age.  And it works!  Their children could sign before they could talk. The Dvd will teach your child many useful words that will be used in day to day life.  Words like: eat, water, milk, cookie, ear, feet hands, kiss, sleep, book, mother, father, and many other words.  Each word is taught in a short video clip where they will see pictures of the word/item and people signing.  There is also a little character at the bottom corner of the video signing along.  The Dvd can be done on English or Spanish.  Also included on the Dvd are printable coloring pages that you can print off by inserting the Dvd into your computer.  Inside the cover of the Dvd case is a little booklet that covers some of the words you and your child
