BASIC PET CARE RECOMMENDATIONS
- Make sure your cat or dog wears a safety collar. This will also serve as identification in the event your pet becomes lost. Consider microchip technology for your pet.
- Always keep your dog on a leash during walks. A loose dog could get hit by a car.
- Don't leave your dog tied up or alone in your yard for long periods of time. Research has shown that isolated dogs become depressed when left alone. Someone may also try to steal your dog.
- If your dog must remain outside, make sure your pet has a safe shelter home. Use straw inside dog houses. Straw keeps your pet warm, especially during those cold winter months.
- If you have a cat, make sure its litter box is cleaned daily. Cats are less likely to use another part of the house to do its business if their litter boxes are clean.
- Make an effort to love your pet every day. Do not hit your pet. Use patience and kindness. Remember, they love you and need you.
