Vets Keep Domesticated Animals Healthy

by MdAgDept

Good health and hygiene are as important to animals as they are to their human masters. With proper nutrition and regular exercise domesticated animals can maintain a healthy coat and good physical condition. By visiting vets in Brooklyn dog and cat owners can receive an annual checkup that gives their pet the attention needed to keep them in top form. However even with a good bill of healthy animals should still be exercised regularly and taken out of their home to be walked or run. Dogs in particular need to be exercised daily. That does not mean tying up a dog and leaving him outside on a small balcony or area on the ground floor where they can have a little space to roam. It means walking around the block or going to a dog friendly park where the animal can be let off their leash to run free for an hour.

For many pet owners in New York a cat is a good choice because these animals are very independent and require little attention. Even when they cuddle up to their owner and want to be petted, a cat will not need as much exercise nor have the same energy as a dog. Within the confines of an apartment building there are house cats that are content to be left inside all day. In addition to cats some pet owners in Brooklyn also have exotic animals, birds or reptiles as their companion.

Making an ideal pet for a small space, reptiles, amphibians and fish can be kept in an aquarium or terrariums where they are able to live quietly in a glass enclosure without taking up much room or disturbing the neighbors. With a choice of pets to select from there is something that can be a comfort and friend to people of all ages. With every option from aquatic, to reptilian, to canine, to feline and aviary or birds having a pet that is healthy and strong helps many New Yorkers to maintain their own level of well being. Through their care and attention healthy animals are able to provide comfort and relieve stress for their owners. Through a physical examination from one of the vets in Brooklyn pet owners can keep their animals in perfect health.

Choosing Healthy Chihuahua Teacup Puppies

Any super-tiny animal needs some special care, and Chihuahua teacup puppies are no different. But if you are all set up to handle your tiny new friend, everything can go well. The first thing you need to do is choose a reputable breeder that will sell you a healthy dog.

The term 'teacup' has no formal meaning, it is just used to denote an especially small example of the breed. Well-bred Chihuahuas are tiny dogs, but most that you will see on the streets are not well bred. The standard requires them to weigh no more than 5 pounds, so if you find a conscientious breeder, their pups should reach a maximum of 8 pounds or so.

When females of the breed are too small, they cannot safely carry a litter. The lower limit is somewhere around 3 1/2 pounds, depending on who you talk to. This means that larger examples of the breed are required in order to perpetuate it. Generally, a tiny male is bred to a larger female, or two 'large' Chihuahuas (4-6 pounds) are bred together.

Because pups are much closer to the same size at birth than they are at maturity, there is only room for a Chihuahua female to have one to two pups at a time. Four is a very big litter. Sometimes there will be a smaller pup, and sometimes they'll all be about the same size. The 'runt' may or may not stay smaller.

A good breeder can tell you approximately how big the dog will be, but no one can guarantee it. Much more important is health, which should not be compromised for size.

Choose a responsible breeder who aims to better the breed and does rigorous testing on her dogs before breeding.

Tiny pups have several unique problems that your breeder should discuss with you. One of these is the propensity for low blood sugar. Pups should eat frequently and you should learn the signs of low blood sugar so that you can keep your puppy healthy until it gets a bit older. Most pups, even tiny ones, grow out of this issue.

A tiny puppy also has a tiny bladder. Many people chose to litter-box or paper train their Chihuahua teacup puppies, so that they don't have to take them out all the time. Either way, make sure your pup has access to his or her potty area at least every hour or two, until they are a bit older.
