10 Furry Facts to remember in the New Year

HAPPY new year to all our neighbours and their furbabies.

Things to remember to do during the year for your pets:

• Remember your vaccination date for rabies, 5 in 1 and 3 in 1;
• Deworm your pet every three months;
• Use a good tick and flea treatment;
• Have a collar with a tag and microchip your dog or cat;
• Ensure you have two bowls for water and food;
• Ensure your dog or cat is fed twice a day, morning and afternoon;
• Ensure your animals have access to fresh water 24 hours a day;
• If your dogs are outside dogs, make provision for a kennel with a blanket;
• Neuter or spay your animals
• Contact your vet if you notice anything that’s not normal. It can save your animals in many instances.

Each subsequent week’s SPCA Furry Fact column will provide more details on each of the points.
