Responsible Pet Owner
Being a responsible pet owner is much more than just providing
adequate water, food and shelter for your pet. Domestic pets are
completely dependent on their owners for their welfare.
• Owning a pet is a lifetime commitment. If you can't make the
commitment, don't get the pet.
• Choose a pet that fits your lifestyle. Don't get a high energetic
dog, if you don't have the time to exercise him. If you can't afford
grooming or can't do the grooming yourself, pick a low maintenance
dog.
• Spay or neuter your pets. There are too many homeless animals.
• Don't make your dog a "backyard dog". Dogs strive on companionship
and need to be with their human pack.
• Be aware of weather conditions. Leaving your dog in the car on a
hot day or in the yard without shade or water is risking your dog's
life.
• Make sure your home is "pet" safe. Pesticides, medications,
household cleaners and some houseplants (dieffenbachia,
philodendron, hyacinth, and mistletoe) can be deadly to your pet.
Keep them out of reach.
• Provide veterinary care for your pet. Keep their vaccinations up
to date and make sure they have annual checkups.
• Keep identification tag on your pet... it is your pets ticket back
home. Both dogs and cats need ID!! Microchipping is also good too.
• Obedience train and socialize your animal. Enroll in a Canine Good
Citizen program.
• Don't let your pets run loose. Dogs should be walked leashes. Any
outdoor off leash access should be secure in a fenced area.
• Provide your pet the proper diet. Obesity can be as deadly as
malnutrition. Be aware that some foods can be deadly, such as
chocolate, and fatty foods can cause pancreatitis.
• Make sure your pet get proper amount of exercise.
• Take extra precautions during holidays like Fourth of July. It is
the scariest time for pets, make sure your pets are secure indoors.
Also protect your pet during Halloween.
• Be kind to your pet and show him with love... remember you are his
world.
• Take special care of your pet during their senior years
