As with humans, pets have certain physical, emotional and lifestyle needs that contribute to their overall health.
However, pets can't articulate their needs or feelings if something seems to be out of order.
So the task of health maintenance for our pets falls to us and, of course, we can't just ask our pets how they feel.
You may notice if they behave differently than they normally do but, you may not always be able to detect the underlying problems that cause these behavioral shifts.
In many cases, problems are temporary and minimal, but staying closely aware of your pet's general fitness and specific health issues can help you to better detect when something is outside of their normal, healthy range.
