Pet & Human Development
Though cats and dogs are unique and special creatures in many ways, it turns out that when it comes to their development and growth they have a lot of similarities with each other, and even with their owners!
Infant
Like human babies, kittens and dogs require vaccinations to protect them from harmful health issues during their early months. Taking out quality pet insurance will ensure your cover financially if your pet becomes ill or injured from infancy through to their later years.
Adult
During their adult years, feeding your cat or dog a balanced diet can help stave off many common health issues just like humans. Unfortunately, over 49% of UK dogs are obese and this can cause joint problems, diabetes or heart issues later life on in. Consult your vet if you’re worried your pet is overweight and otherwise just be sure to give them regular exercise, toys and interactive play to keep them happy and healthy.
Senior
In their senior years, cats and dogs face similar issues including arthritis, diabetes and kidney problems. MedicAnimal has developed a range of senior dog foods and senior cat foods to provide the right nutrients to support them in their senior years and help to prevent common ailments.
