Most common
PET INJURIES
Just like us, pets are prone
to injuries and accidents.
Here are the most common injuries that affect dogs
and cats:
Lacerations, Bite or
Puncture Wounds
Usually occurring during fights or from
sharp objects cutting into their paws.
Sprains, Strains and Fractures
Often during excited play pets will inadvertently injure themselves.
Eye Injuries
The most common eye injury in pets
is corneal ulcers, where something
scratches the surface of the eye ball.
Foreign Bodies
Very common in young dogs and puppies.
Torn Nails
Trim your pets' nails regularly to avoid
tears.
It is possible to minimise the risk for
your pet by thoroughly checking that
they have a safe environment, and petproofing wherever possible.
