2. Translate word combinations into Russian without dictionary:

to monitor animal’s dental health, to remove yellow brown crust, to get bleeding, expiry date of pills, to refuse treatment, to mix food with medicine;

The family veterinarian needs to monitor the progress of your pet's preventive dental care routine much the same way a dentist monitors your teeth. Regular dental check-ups are essential.

Once a pet's teeth display the warning signs — bad breath, a yellow brown crust of tartar around the gum line, pain or bleeding when the pet eats or when you touch its gums — gum disease may already be present.

Human medicine. Never give pets human medicine. An animal's metabolism is different to ours and human medicine can make matters worse. Never give aspirin to cats. Throw away medicine that is past the expiry date.

Pills. Some dogs swallow pills easily. Pop it in the mouth, keep mouth shut and the pill is gone! Other dogs refuse to swallow and it may help to hide a pill in marshmallows, cream cheese, tinned dog food, sandwiches, worst/sausage, peanut butter, or macaroni. If the dog spits the pill out, crush it and mix it with food.

Declawing

1. Read the text using the Vocabulary:

declawing – удаление когтей

claws - когти

carpeted board – доска с ковролиновым покрытием

scratching post – место для точки когтей

front feet – передние лапы

nail caps – чехольчики для когтей

trimmed nails – подрезанные когти

It is part of your kitten's nature to sharpen its claws so you will need to provide it with a carpeted board or pole to use as a scratching post (unless you want the kitten to use your furniture). Many owners decide to declaw their cats because they believe it makes them more acceptable house pets — easier on the furniture and the kids. For indoor cats, many veterinarians recommend declawing only the front feet, so that if the cat does get outside it has some mechanism of defense. For cats that are outside on a regular basis, it may be possible (and better) to avoid declawing by keeping nails trimmed or using "nail caps." Whether or not to declaw your cat is an individual and personal decision that is best discussed with your veterinarian.
