• Be sure to schedule shots and vaccinations as soon as you can. Make sure that your pet has all of the proper vaccines and other preventative medication suggested by your veterinarian, such as heart worm pills for some dogs.
• Ask your vet what symptoms to look for if your pet gets sick.
• Spay or neuter dogs and cats to prevent pet over-population. 
• Record your vet's number as well as the number of a veterinary hospital in case of emergencies.
• Knowing your pet's normal behavior is very important; if they are sick or injured, they will often act unusually, such as sleeping more, going off their food, etc. If they begin to act oddly, check them for any injuries and keep an eye on their food and water intake; if they stop eating or drinking, or they have obvious wounds that are concerning you, then take them to the vet.
