Pets are a wonderful addition to a family, but caring for an animal is much different than caring for a human. On the internet there are many different websites that offer ideas and techniques for caring for your pets. The Healthy Pets section of WebMD is a wonderful source of information to turn to pertaining to your pets’ health care needs.
Pets.webmd.com discusses all aspects of your animal and how to care for them. Some of the topics discussed include: diet and nutrition, behavior and training, puppy care, common conditions and FAQ’s.
An interesting article on the website, �Dog Vitamins and Supplements: Get the Facts �, states that with a growing population of overweight dogs, the market for dog supplements is expected to increase 37% by 2012. It explains that as many as a third of U.S. dogs and cats may receive vitamins or supplements. The most common are multivitamins, supplements to support arthritic joints, and fatty acids to reduce shedding and improve a coat’s shine. We know this all too well as more and more people are turning to FlexPet for their dog and cats’ joint pain relief. They are finding that this supplement is a less costly and effective way of getting their healthy, active pet back.
The site also has a common conditions section and one of the first listed is arthritis and joint pain. If you suspect that your pet may be suffering from arthritis, you may be interested in reading this article.
