February: what to talk to your people about
Heart Month, pets’ teeth, and something kind for someone you love.

February is American Heart Month, as it has been since 1964. A natural moment for the simple guideline: about 150 minutes of moderate activity a week, plus strength work on two days.

Pet Dental Health Month
Veterinarians say gum disease is the most common dental problem in dogs and cats, and most show early signs by age three. A good month to remind owners that teeth are part of grooming at home.

Shovel smarter
The American Heart Association warns that heavy shoveling in cold air strains the heart, especially for people who aren’t regularly active. Start slowly, take breaks, and push snow rather than lift it.
