Canine heartworm infection is preventable despite the inherently high susceptibility of dogs. Because all dogs living in heartworm-endemic areas are at risk, prevention is a high priority. Puppies should be started on preventives as early as possible, no later than 8 weeks of age. Puppies started on a heartworm preventive after 8 weeks of age should be tested 6 months after the initial dose, then annually thereafter. Before initiating a preventive regime on dogs 7 months of age or older, antigen testing should be performed and in appropriate instances, also tested for microfilariae BASIC CARE: Dogs Feeding Puppies 8 to 12 weeks old need four meals a day. Feed puppies three to six months old three meals a day. Feed puppies six months to one year two meals a day. When your dog reaches his first birthday, one meal a day is usually enough. For some dogs, including larger canines or those prone to bloat, it's better to feed two smaller meals. Premium-quality dry food provides a well-balanced diet for adult dogs and may be mixed with water, broth, or canned food. Your dog may enjoy cottage cheese, cooked egg, fruits, and vegetables, but these additions should not total more than ten percent of his daily food intake. Puppies should be fed a high-quality, brand-name puppy food. Please limit "people food," however, because it can result in vitamin and mineral imbalances, bone and teeth problems, and may cause very picky eating habits and obesity. Clean, fresh water should be available at all times, and be sure to wash food and water dishes frequently. BASIC CARE: Cats Premium-brand kitten or cat food High-quality, brand-name kitten or cat food is the best choice for your growing kitty. Kittens also love yummy treats, but don't give your furry friend too many. Treats can contain a lot of sugar and fat, which can cause obesity. Food dish and water bowl Of course, you'll need a clean dish for all that tasty food. You should also make sure your kitty always has a nice bowl of fresh water to quench his or her thirst. Interactive toys Kittens are playful little critters. Keep them entertained and help them burn off excess energy with a few fun interactive toys. Comb or brush As you probably know, most cats are good at cleaning themselves. However, you should still comb or brush your kitten's fur regularly. This will help reduce shedding and cut down on those nasty hairballs. Scratching post It's a fact -- kittens love to scratch. To help keep your furniture safe from your kitten's nails, buy a scratching post. A scratching post should be stable and covered in a rough material, like burlap. It should also be at least three feet high so your kitty can stretch out while scratching. Collar and ID tag If you plan to allow your kitten outdoors, you must buy a safety collar and ID tag. An indoor-only kitten should also have an ID tag, in case he or she gets out.
