October is National Pet Wellness Month!
More than a celebration, this month is a reminder for all of us pet parents on the importance of keeping up with our pet’s health and wellbeing.
While we’re often guilty of rushing to the vet only during emergencies or when our pets are already feeling sick, what this time reminds us is how prevention is key to true wellness.
Here are four tips to help you keep your pet’s health in top shape, even when it’s not an emergency:
1. Keep Vaccinations Up to Date
Vaccinations are a critical part of preventive care for pets. It is crucial to be able to protect them from serious diseases like rabies, parvovirus, distemper (for dogs), and feline leukemia (for cats). Many of these diseases are life-threatening and can spread quickly, but if we’re able to keep up with regular vaccinations, it’ll help not only keep your pet safe, but also prevent outbreaks.

2. Schedule Regular Check-ups
Just like humans, pets benefit from regular health check-ups, even when they seem perfectly fine. Regular check-ups can catch potential health issues early, which can save you money and your pet discomfort down the road.
Tip: Doc John Lunnay, PetPal’s in-house vet, recommends quarterly check-ups! This means going to your vet even if your pet is not showing any signs you should worry about
3. Create a Wellness Routine
Nutrition, exercise, grooming, and mental stimulation are all key components of a healthy pet routine. Ensuring your pets have a balanced diet, enough playtime, and regular grooming can go a long way in preventing illness and behavioral issues.

4. Don’t Wait for a Problem to Act
Wellness is all about being proactive. Instead of waiting and reacting to when our pets experience a problem with their health, let’s be observant, mindful, and organized. That way, we can ensure that they stay healthy and happy.
