After any surgery, your pet will need a great deal of rest so they can successfully heal. During this time, they might be immobilized or under strict orders from the veterinarian on how to promote recovery and mitigate any potential for injury or a set-back. Along with rest and recuperation, your pet will eventually need a slow introduction to exercise and mental enrichment.

The team at True Care Veterinary Hospital understands how important the postoperative period is in promoting the best possible healing for your furry loved one. Here are some tips and recommendations for safely exercising your pet after surgery, along with options for entertainment.

Statistically, one in three pets will become separated from their owners at least once in their lifetime, meaning that approximately 10 millions American dogs and cats are lost or stolen every year. Of these pets, less than a quarter are ever reunited with their families.

Obviously, these numbers are frightening and can be distressing to pet owners (and their pets, if they could comprehend them). Microchipping your pet is a simple, yet  effective, defense against permanent loss or separation.
