Make Preventative Pet Health Care a Priority:

-
Spay or Neuter Your Pet:
Reduce the risk of certain cancers and prevent overpopulation by ensuring your pet is spayed or neutered. The Animal Foundation provides low-cost spay and neuter services in the Las Vegas area.
-
Take Care of Your Pet’s Teeth:
Prioritize oral and dental hygiene through annual check-ups, cleaning, and careful selection of treats and toys. Regular dental care can prevent issues such as bad breath, tooth decay, and gum disease.

Don’t Let Your Pet Get Overweight:
