Care

Practical tips so your four-legged companions live happy and healthy lives.

Essential guides

Responsible feeding

Choose quality food appropriate for your animal’s age, size and activity. Avoid giving them human food leftovers (especially chocolate, onion, grapes and cooked bones).

Daily exercise

Dogs need walks and play. Cats benefit from scratching posts, toys and interactive hunting games. A bored animal can develop behavioral problems.

Vet visits

Annual check-ups, up-to-date vaccines, deworming and sterilization are key. Don’t wait for serious symptoms to consult.

Hygiene and coat care

Brush regularly according to coat type. Bathe only when necessary. Check ears, nails and teeth frequently.

Safe environment

Keep cleaning products, medicines and toxic plants out of reach. Secure windows and balconies.

Identification

Collar with tag and microchip are essential. If they get lost, the chances of reunion increase a lot.

Care by life stage

🐣

Puppies & kittens

They need early socialization, a full course of vaccinations, age-appropriate food and a lot of patience. Do not separate them from the mother before 8 weeks.

💪

Adults

Maintain exercise and feeding routines. Check weight and behavior. Sterilization is still recommended if it has not been done yet.

🌙

Seniors

More frequent vet check-ups, orthopedic beds, adapted food and patience with possible changes in mobility or vision.

Warning signs

See a vet if you notice any of these signs:

Loss of appetite

More than 24 hours without eating in dogs or sudden changes in cats.

Lethargy or apathy

If they are much quieter than usual or don’t want to play or go out.

Persistent vomiting or diarrhea

Especially if there is blood, fever or dehydration.

Difficulty breathing

Excessive panting at rest, coughing or open-mouth breathing in cats.
