Most healthy adult cats can groom themselves reasonably well. However, this doesn’t mean that they won’t need a hand in keeping their fur looking it’s best and making sure they are comfortable. In fact, even the most capable cat will need to be brushed regularly, if for nothing else than removing any foreign debris she picked up while wandering around your living space. Others will need more attention to keep tangles from creeping up into their fur and to help prevent matting, particularly in longhaired cats. Some cats will need even more assistance, like those who have become injured or ill, are very young or very old, or have joint issues hindering their movement. Keep a close eye on your pet and help her in the areas she seems to be having trouble with caring for on her own. Your local Greenville, SC vet clinic can help you care for your pet.

Your cat shares your living space with you, and you really enjoy being able to share your daily life with your pet. However, this doesn’t necessarily mean that you will see eye to eye on everything. Luckily, there are things that can help you keep your relationship positive while still giving you both what you need.
Providing your pet with a scratching post or mat can keep your furniture from becoming a target. It can help your pet stay away from your belongings when it comes time to manage her claws. A hooded litter box can also be helpful, as this will help keep odors at bay and assist in keeping cat litter within the confines of her litter box.

Does your Siamese cat appear to have a corn or callous forming on her paw? If so, you might want to call your vet and schedule a check-up. Your vet will most likely want to know when you first noticed the corns and how they have affected your cat’s ability to walk as well as his overall temperament. Many times, a cat will not allow his owner to touch his paw pads. He may also not be walking as much in an effort to relieve the pain and pressure to the affected foot or feet.

Your dog is a wonderful part of your family, and you like being able to care for him in whatever ways he needs you to. As he gets older, the chances of him coming down with arthritis increase, so you want to be able to identify symptoms the moment they begin to impact his life.
Arthritis impacts the joints, so you will likely see the first symptoms stemming from pain and discomfort in these areas. Your pet’s movement might begin to change in order to account for the differences in how he feels. He may do things differently or avoid specific things entirely in order to avoid certain movements. He may also be visibly uncomfortable with things he used to do with ease. If you think your pet is showing signs of arthritis, seek an appointment with a professional for an evaluation.
