Our pets aren’t able to tell us when something is wrong or when they just don’t feel well. They rely on us to keep them healthy and safe. Do you know what your pet’s normal temperature is? Did you know you can learn a lot about your pet’s health just by the color of his or her gums?

Taylor Community and Healthy Pets New Hampshire are teaming up to offer a Knowing Your Pet’s Health Class, Wednesday, Jan. 29 at 6:30 p.m. at Taylor’s Woodside Building. The class will teach pet parents how to do a Snout to Tail Wellness Assessment in combination with a massage on their pets.

April Begosh, a certified Pet Tech Instructor of Healthy Pets New Hampshire will teach participants how to assess their pets’ baseline health so they can be more vigilant about changes indicating problems. In addition to learning about vital signs, Begosh will demonstrate a routine that can be used as a massage for pets while helping to strengthen the bond between pet and owner.

To register for the class, please call 524-5600, Monday through Friday between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m., or email, rsvp@taylorcommunity.org. Please do not bring pets to this program.
