Cats can be susceptible to various parasites, including: 1. Fleas: Fleas are common external parasites that can cause itching, hair loss, and skin irritation. They can also transmit other diseases. 2. Ticks: Ticks can attach to a cat's skin, feeding on their blood. In addition to causing discomfort, ticks can transmit diseases. 3. Worms: Internal parasites such as roundworms, tapeworms, hookworms, and whipworms can affect cats. These parasites can lead to weight loss, vomiting, diarrhea, and other health issues. 4. Ear Mites: These tiny mites infest a cat's ears, causing itching and discomfort. If you suspect your cat has parasites, it's essential to consult with a veterinarian. They can recommend appropriate treatments, which may include medications and preventive measures to keep your cat parasite-free. Regular veterinary check-ups and preventive measures such as flea and tick control can help maintain your cat's health and well-being.

Cats and dogs are awesome pets to have. They each have their own characteristics and personalities. When considering if a cat or dog is best for you, keep in mind the care, attention, environment, and time you are able to provide for their best interest and yours. It is a misconception that cats do not need to be checked on and fed. They DO need to be checked on, fed, water refreshed, litter scooped, checked for signs of illness, checked to see if they have gotten into something they should not have, checked to make sure their curiosity has not gotten them trapped in a space they cannot get out of. We as pet sitters DO NOT advocate for cats to be left alone for days. Our policy at Hug A Love Pet Sitting is to check in on cats at least once a day. As for dogs, they do require more pet-sitting visits for feeding and walking.

Neuter them, unless you intend to breed them. · Provide the right food - this should mainly be hay or grass. This will help prevent dental and gut disease. Check your bunnies every day to check if they are passing plenty of dry droppings. If their eating or drinking habits change, or the quantity of droppings reduces or stops, check in with your vet immediately - they could be seriously ill. · Checking for signs of illness or injury every day, including if you go away. . Their front teeth and nails checked at least weekly - these grow quickly. Only vets should correct overgrown or misaligned teeth. · Veterinary check-ups, at least annually - including treatment for external and internal parasites such as fleas and worms. · Vaccinating against myxomatosis and Viral Hemorrhagic Disease (VHD), as advised by your vet. · Keeping away from wild rabbits and areas where wild rabbits live - they can carry diseases. · Well-maintained coats - groom them regularly. · To be identifiable and ideally microchipped, so they can get quickly treated if they're injured or returned if they get lost.
