Improve exercise schedules

Your pet needs a good amount of exercise regularly to be fit and avoid health issues. Play the game of fetch or go for a long walk and try to maintain its weight. This helps with behavior and health benefits. Otherwise, your pet may suffer from destructive behavior or separation anxiety. Your vet can prescribe the right kind of exercise, based on your pet type, species, age, health, and size.

Dietary adjustments for pets
