As I wrote earlier, make sure you take your pet to the vet regularly! Don't fail at this!
I waited way too long for my checkup and now, I'm paying the price by being in pain.
Remember, your cat and dog can't say, "I'm sick!" or "I'm not feeling well at all!"
Watch for signs.
Are they listless? Restless? Nasty towards you, family members and others?
Won't eat their food? Having trouble sleeping?
They may be trying to tell you something. Pick up on those signs!
Cannot hurt to give them that checkup they may really need.
