Exercise more. Are you planning to hit the gym more often in the new year? Why not also try to keep your pet healthy with regular exercise and activity?

You can get your cat moving with new toys and games that will encourage her to run and jump.

Watching what our pets eat can help them maintain a healthy weight and add years to their lives. There are a number of steps you can take to improve your pet's diet, such as not feeding them table scraps and not fattening them with high-calorie treats; keep food treats to a minimum and focus on healthier foods and treats; And don't give in to those sad, pleading eyes. Talk to your vet about a nutritional plan that promotes your pet's health.
Schedule a visit to the vet. Visiting the doctor regularly for checkups is an important way to stay healthy and detect illnesses and injuries before they become a bigger problem. The same goes for our pets. Because our pets cannot schedule their own checkups, you need to take them to the vet regularly to keep them healthy.
