Litter Boxes For Pet Cats

Litter boxes are considered basic necessities for all indoor cats, they not only provide a space where your cat can pee or poop, but it also helps you to clean your cat’s spaces easily. But the question is, what makes a perfect litter box?

When purchasing a cat’s litter box, you must ensure that it is spacious so your cat could wiggle herself in and out of it. It should also be large enough to provide a cat with ample room to eliminate her waste. Some cats prefer open litter boxes while some prefer closed ones, so you have to observe what is preferred by your cat so it will be easy for her to use it.

Location is also key to helping your cat get accustomed to using her litter box. Make sure that their litter boxes are accessible and near the areas where they usually hang out. Keeping them clean and odor free is also a key to encouraging your cat to use litter boxes. 

If you have any concerns about your pet's elimination habits, make an appointment with your local animal hospital Champaign, IL.

Adventures With Fido

 

Summer is on the way, and many of us are looking forward to those warm, sunny days. Summer tends to be a very busy time of year for many people, especially those who enjoy activities such as swimming, camping, and hiking. Of course, our canine pals often love to accompany their humans on these sorts of adventures. 

One thing that you may want to do—if you haven't already—is make a doggy bag to keep in your car. This should include a pet first-aid kit, as well as useful/emergency items such as food, treats, towels, dishes, a spare tie out line, water, and waste baggies. Add some key paperwork, such as your pet's medical records, your vet's contact information, and a pet first-aid book or brochure, and you're ready for anything! We also recommend keeping at least a gallon or two of water in the car. 

Don't take your dog on summer adventures without making sure that he is current on parasite control and vaccinations. Contact your vet clinic Champaign, IL to make an appointment.
