The top 11 ways we actually decrease the longevity of our dogs is reviewed in this PetMD article
- Letting your dog gain too much weight
- Neglecting canine dental care
- Skipping annual check ups
- Not providing daily exercise
- Exposing your dog to second-hand smoke
- Forgetting heart worm, flea & tick prevention
- Pushing certain breeds too hard (diff breeds have diff exercise reqmts)
- Feeding your dog table scraps
- Leaving dog outside unsupervised
- Not socializing your dog
- Not spaying or neutering
Nearly all of these apply to our feline friends too. Our furkids are family & depend on us to provide patience, care and attention.
