Maintenance knowledge

Scientific pet care requires the four core elements of diet, health, behavior, and environment, and none of them can be neglected. Reject blind feeding to keep your furry friends from getting sick and help them live longer.
I. Dietary Nutrition: Eating Right Is More Important Than Eating Expensively

Prioritize high - quality cat food/dog food for the staple diet, which should meet AAFCO or national nutritional standards. Do not feed human meals for a long time (high - salt and high - oil foods can damage the liver and kidneys).
Feed regularly and in fixed amounts: Puppies and kittens should be fed 3 - 4 times a day, and adult dogs and cats 1 - 2 times a day. Avoid overeating to prevent gastrointestinal diseases.
Strictly prohibit dangerous foods: Chocolate, grapes, onions, garlic, xylitol, bones, raw egg whites, etc. can easily lead to poisoning or choking.
Ensure 24 - hour fresh drinking water. Wash the water bowl daily to prevent the growth of bacteria.
II. Health Care: Regular Checks for Early Prevention
Deworm regularly: Deworm internally once every 1 - 3 months and externally once a month. Young pets need to be dewormed intensively according to the cycle.
Vaccination: Young pets should complete the basic vaccines + rabies vaccine according to the procedure. Adults should be boosted annually to effectively prevent severe infectious diseases.
Daily care: Brush the fur once a week to reduce hair loss and hairballs; trim nails and clean the ear canals monthly; brush teeth regularly to prevent tartar and bad breath.
Seek medical attention promptly for abnormalities: If symptoms such as vomiting, diarrhea, listlessness, not eating, frequent urination, or blood in the urine occur, do not delay and self - medicate.
III. Behavior and Environment: Comfort for Peace of Mind
Provide a quiet, dry, and warm resting area, avoiding exposure to the sun, drafty areas, or damp environments.
Dogs should have sufficient outdoor exercise every day to release energy and reduce behaviors such as destroying the house and anxiety; prepare cat scratching boards and toys for cats to satisfy their hunting instincts.
Train patiently and positively. Do not scold, beat, or punish. Use treats to reward and guide good habits and build trust.
IV. Daily Details: Small Things Determine Health
• Clean the litter box daily to keep it clean and avoid urinary tract diseases caused by cats holding their urine.
• Do not bathe too frequently: Dogs should be bathed once every 7 - 15 days, and cats once every 1 - 2 months. Use pet - specific shampoo to protect the skin's oil.
• Prevent heatstroke in summer and keep warm in winter to avoid heatstroke in high temperatures and colds or frostbite in low temperatures.
Scientific pet care is not a cumbersome burden, but a way to extend the time of companionship with the right methods.
