When you decide to bring home that shelter dog or darling kitten or puppy, are you ready to assume the responsibility that decision entails? A few considerations are in order and I sincerely hope you are ready to adopt a pet and allow all that love and devotion into your life. Pets depend on their human parents to keep them safe from harm and to make their lives as pleasant and comfortable as possible.
Neuter your pet to prevent unwanted puppies and kittens.
Be sure to count on veterinarian costs for an annual physical, teeth cleaning, vaccinations and other visits that might be necessary. Watch for tummy upsets, head shaking, severe itching/scratching, or limping. Your pet can’t ask for help. You will need to be observant and caring.
Licensing for dogs – making sure that the dog collar is worn at all times.
Keeping cats indoors to prevent them from becoming a tasty treat for coyotes.
Keep your yard and kitty litter box, scrupulously clean.
Keeping your yard safe – a secure gate closure system to prevent a dog from leaving the yard. Make sure there is shade and shelter from the heat/cold and rain.
Making sure your dog is invited in, regularly. An outside dog doesn’t become a part of the family.
Be responsible by planning ahead with car restraints or cages, calming tablets for thunder and lighting, and recognizing when your devoted pet
experiences health changes.
Make sure your pet food is the best you can buy. Read the labels and compare.
Thank you for being a responsible and caring pet owner.
