Diet\u00a0<\/strong> Exercise<\/strong> Chores<\/strong> Health<\/strong> Whatever your New Year\u2019s resolutions may be, we hope you and your pets have a happy and safe 2016!

\nDOG:\u00a0I will increase my fiber intake eating all the rabbit poop I can find. \u00a0I will even eat more of my own poop.
\nCAT: I will balance my diet by eating every fly, spider and centipede I find.
\nHUMAN: I will feed a consistent amount to meet my pets\u2019 caloric needs and avoid over-feeding. I can work with my veterinarian to calculate this amount.<\/p>\n
\nDOG:\u00a0I will help my humans to remember to exercise by jumping around like my tail\u2019s on fire every time they glance in the general direction of my leash.
\nCAT:\u00a0I will demonstrate to my humans the importance of exercise commitment by sprinting like an insane cheetah from room to room every single night when the lights go out.
\nHUMAN: I will engage my pet in play or some other type of activity every day of the week.<\/p>\n![\"New](\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/Untitled-design-2022-11-30T154905.915.png\")

\nDOG:\u00a0I will clean the cat\u2019s litter box. \u00a0By \u2018clean\u2019, I mostly mean \u2018eat all of the poop\u2019. \u00a0Sometimes I will just remove the poop from the litterbox and place it some distance away.
\nCAT: I will keep the tile and hardwood floors clean by puking only on the carpet, rugs and beds.
\nHUMAN: I will brush, trim, wash, clip, clean or otherwise groom my pet according to its needs on a regular basis. \u00a0Or I will hire someone to do it.<\/p>\n
\nDOG: I will improve the heart health of my humans by dragging them by leash after every squirrel, rabbit, or dog I see.
\nCAT: I will boost my humans\u2019 immune systems by walking repeatedly across kitchen counters and the dinner table immediately after exiting my litter box.
\nHUMAN: I will find a veterinarian for my pets and take them in for regular check-ups and vaccinations.\u00a0I will also get the phone number of the nearest emergency vet and find out where they are located.<\/p>\n![\"Animal](\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Fast-Track-Triage-for-Clients-Facebook-Post-7.png\")
