We get it — you love your pet and want the best. But even well-meaning owners can slip up. Here are five common mistakes and how to avoid them:
1. Skipping Regular Vet Visits
Annual checkups catch early signs of illness and keep vaccines up to date.
2. Using Human Products on Pets
Many human shampoos and meds are toxic to animals. Always choose pet-safe options.
3. Overfeeding (or Wrong Diet)
More food doesn’t mean more love. Follow vet guidelines based on breed, age, and size.
4. Lack of Mental Stimulation
Pets need play! Boredom leads to destructive behavior and anxiety.
5. Ignoring Dental Care
Bad breath isn’t just gross — it could mean gum disease. Use pet-friendly brushes or dental treats.
