National Cat Health Month


It’s time to celebrate the love you have for your cat and make sure he or she is healthy, happy and safe. Let February be a reminder to you to make that vet appointment and have your pet checked out. And since February is also National Pet Dental Health Month, have the vet check out your pets teeth too.

Take your vets advice. Let them teach you how to take care of all your cats and kitten the correct way from home. We all want our cats happy, healthy and safe so we can enjoy them as a member of our family for many years. And even when our beloved pet becomes sick we all should know how to make the quality of life for our pets the very best.

Americans have a love affair with cats. According to the newly published American Veterinary Medical Association U.S. Pet Ownership and Demographics Sourcebook, they outnumber dogs: 82 million cats vs. 71 million dogs.
