February is Responsible Pet Owner Month. This is the
month that pet owners are urged to get their pets spayed
and neutered. The Humane Society of the United States
estimates that six to eight million cats and dogs end up
in animal shelters every year. Here are a few tips… Train your
dog; this is extremely important. The Number One reason
for dogs ending up in shelters is behavior problems. By
training and socializing your dog you can greatly reduce
the chances of your dog ever getting lost or ending up
in a shelter. Feed your pet a well-balanced and
nutritious diet. Clean up after your dog. Groom your dog
on a regular pet plenty of exercise and feed a proper
diet to protect against various diseases. Let your dog
live in the house with you. You need to provide shelter
for your dog. Make sure your pet has up-to-date
identification tags on his collar. |
