Both we and our pets must do our best to sustain our bodies against the pressures of aging, stress, and environmental forces. Our daily routines include such varied elements as exercise regimens, monitoring our diets, and maintaining our personal hygiene. Our pets may be able to go much longer than we can without taking a bath but we should treat their health concerns with the same level of care and attention that we devote to our own.

Whether it’s enjoying music or honking at traffic on our way to work we take great strides to combat the many types of stress in our daily lives. Pets are no less susceptible to the pressures of stress. Most pet owners can recall an occasion on which their animal companion shredded a favorite pair of shoes or left a small token of their esteem in the middle of the bed when left alone for an extended period of time. Just like the pencil that we chew on at the office, toys are important elements of pet life and health.
