NATIONAL PET WEEK Every spring brings with it, NATIONAL PET WEEK, a tribute to the pets that share our daily lives. The week of May 6-12 has been designated as NATIONAL PET WEEK this year. The theme for the event is the same as it was last year, “A Lifetime of Love”, and is meant to reach out to pet owners and VETERINARIANS alike to spread the concepts of responsible PET ownership and the need for preventive VETERINARY CARE for our PET family members. Vaccinations against the major diseases can save lots of rupees and create comfort for your pet by protecting them against transmissible diseases. Annual examinations for parasites and the utilization of parasite control to prevent your pet from infestation will save money overall. Routine dental evaluations can identify teeth and gum problems in their infancy and are much cheaper to treat than if the condition has progressed to an advanced state. One of the most beneficial preventive measures that you can provide for your PET is maintaining its proper weight. Prevention is almost always cheaper than treating your pet for any disease or condition.
