Key Management Points by Category<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Dogs are at high risk of infection and parasites due to outdoor activities and contact, so vaccination and deworming should be prioritized. For cats, early detection of kidney and urinary tract diseases through changes in eating habits and urinary abnormalities is important. Small pets such as rabbits and guinea pigs are sensitive to dental issues and environmental stress, so please check the types of food and the structure of their play areas.<\/p>\n<p>Puppies should complete their basic vaccinations between 6 and 16 weeks of age, followed by annual boosters or at the schedule recommended by their veterinarian. For cats, environmental enrichment and maintaining a fixed eating pattern are helpful in preventing stress-related diseases. For small rodents, be careful of excessive sugar intake and tooth overgrowth.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Weight changes<\/strong>This is the earliest sign of a problem in all species. If sudden weight loss or gain is observed, it is recommended to consult a veterinarian within 48 hours.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_%EA%B0%95%EC%95%84%EC%A7%80%EC%97%90%EC%84%9C_%EC%9E%90%EC%A3%BC_%EB%AC%BB%EB%8A%94_%EC%A7%88%EB%AC%B8_%EB%AC%B4%EC%97%87%EC%9D%84_%EB%A8%BC%EC%A0%80_%EC%A0%90%EA%B2%80%ED%95%B4%EC%95%BC_%ED%95%98%EB%82%98%EC%9A%94\"><\/span>2. Frequently Asked Questions about Puppies: What Should I Check First?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The key is whether vaccinations are complete and the status of external parasite prevention. After a walk, check the fur, paw pads, and ears for any abnormalities. Bowel movements are the first indicator of digestive problems or signs of parasites.<\/p>\n<p>Recommended checkups by age are as follows. Regular checkups are recommended at least once a year for adult dogs, and blood and urine tests every six months for senior dogs aged 7 or older. Seasonal prevention is necessary in areas at risk of heartworm.<\/p>\n<p><u>Important Tip<\/u> Please check your vaccination records before entering an outdoor gathering place. Missing a vaccination interval can result in a gap in immunity.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_%EA%B3%A0%EC%96%91%EC%9D%B4%EC%97%90%EC%84%9C_%EC%9E%90%EC%A3%BC_%EB%AC%BB%EB%8A%94_%EC%A7%88%EB%AC%B8_%EC%96%B4%EB%96%A4_%EA%B2%80%EC%82%AC%EA%B0%80_%EC%9A%B0%EC%84%A0%EC%9D%B8%EA%B0%80%EC%9A%94\"><\/span>3. Frequently Asked Questions about Cats: Which Test Comes First?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>For cats, kidney function and dental condition should be checked first. Especially after the age of 7, the incidence of kidney disease increases, so blood and urine tests once or twice a year are recommended. Oral problems often manifest first through behavioral changes.<\/p>\n<p>If abnormalities in bowel or urination, frequent vomiting, or a decrease in appetite are observed, you should suspect urinary or digestive system problems. Stress-related behavioral problems often improve when environmental factors (location and number of litter boxes, type of food, etc.) are also checked.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Vaccination<\/strong>We recommend basic items even for indoor cats. Please check their immune status, especially during periods of increased contact such as going out, cat shows, or adoption.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_%EB%85%B8%EB%A0%B9_%EB%B0%98%EB%A0%A4%EB%8F%99%EB%AC%BC_%EA%B4%80%EB%A6%AC_%EC%B2%B4%ED%81%AC%EB%A6%AC%EC%8A%A4%ED%8A%B8\"><\/span>4. Senior Pet Care Checklist<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Since the incidence of disease increases during old age, check-up intervals should be shortened. For those aged 7 and older, blood tests, urine tests, and dental check-ups are recommended at least once a year, while for those aged 10 and older, check-ups every six months are ideal.<\/p>\n<p>Regarding nutrition, controlling protein, phosphorus, and sodium is important. Combine weight management with low-impact exercise to prevent joint problems. If medication is necessary, be sure to check for drug interactions with a veterinarian.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"background-color:#c8e6c9\">Regular monitoring<\/span>Recording behavioral changes and bowel patterns is of great help in diagnosis.
