Who can resist a puppy that snuggles up to you when you get home after a long day, or a dog who wags its tail when you pass by? Dogs — and other pets — can be a man’s best friend. But sometimes, that furry delight may pose health threats you never knew existed. Your pet dog, cat and fish may carry viruses that can infect you, its owner, or your loved ones.

The power of the elements: Discover Colloidal Silver Mouthwash with quality, natural ingredients like Sangre de Drago sap, black walnut hulls, menthol crystals and more. Zero artificial sweeteners, colors or alcohol. Learn more at the Health Ranger Store and help support this news site.
Your veterinarian can advise you on the best course of action to take. Find someone your pet lover friends highly recommend. Then visit the vet clinic and ask for a tour. Is the staff friendly and accommodating? Do they answer your questions well? Do they make follow-up reports or inquire about your pet’s condition after you and your friend pay a visit? Is the clinic clean and free from foul odor? Does it have the latest veterinary equipment?
A pet can be an wellspring of joy, especially to children. Keeping them disease-free not only ensures that you, its owner, and the young ones who seek them out for companionship, enjoy their presence. Their unconditional love raises the fun level at home, where they have become more and more, a vital part of a happy family.
