The Complete Pet Care Checklist: How to Keep Your Cat & Dog Happy and Healthy

The Complete Pet Care Checklist: How to Keep Your Cat & Dog Happy and Healthy
Whether you’re a first-time pet parent or you’ve had furry friends for years, keeping cats and dogs happy and healthy takes more than just love. At PetSet, we know pets are part of the family — and that’s why we’re here to help you take care of them the right way.
- Create a Safe, Comfortable Home
A pet’s environment affects their well-being just as much as food.
Pet Beds & Resting Spots – Choose cozy, washable beds that suit your pet’s size and habits.
Safe Space – Make sure there’s a quiet area where your cat or dog can relax without stress.
Hydration Stations – Always keep fresh, clean water available (consider pet water fountains for cats).
- Choose the Right Nutrition
Good food = a healthy life!
Cats
Cats are obligate carnivores — they need animal protein. Choose high-quality cat foods with real meat as a primary ingredient.
Dogs
Dogs are omnivores, but still need high-quality protein and balanced fats. Look for foods made for your dog’s size and age group.
At PetSet, we carry a wide range of premium cat and dog foods including Royal Canin, Reflex, MERA and more — so you can choose what’s best for your pet’s life stage and health needs.
Tip: Always transition to new food gradually over 7–10 days to avoid digestive upset.
- Grooming Matters
Healthy pets are well-groomed pets.
Brushing & Bathing – Helps remove loose hair, prevents matting, and controls shedding.
Shampoos & Conditioners – Choose ones made specifically for pets to avoid skin irritation.
Flea & Tick Protection – Essential year-round in Pakistan’s climate.
Grooming supplies like deshedding combs, brushes, and grooming sprays are available at PetSet online.
- 4. Exercise & Playtime
Pets need mental and physical stimulation.
Toys – Keep your dog active with fetch toys, ropes, and chew toys.
Cat Toys – Interactive toys like tunnels, balls, and laser pointers help keep cats sharp and playful.
Playtime isn’t just fun — it’s essential for your pet’s health!
- Routine Vet Visits & Preventive Care
Don’t wait for problems — prevent them.
Vaccinations – Keep up with schedules for rabies, distemper, hepatitis, etc.
Parasite Control – Heartworm, ticks, fleas, and intestinal worms are common issues.
Dental Health – Dental checks help prevent long-term problems.
While PetSet focuses on supplies and food, we also proudly work with experienced clinics and trainers in the Rawalpindi–Islamabad area to support your pet’s total health.
