Caring for Your Furry Friends
What they need
Owning a pet is a huge responsibility. All animals and all pets have basic needs. As a responsible pet owner you need to be aware of their needs.
The need to be happy
Just like us, pets love to be safe, happy and healthy. A healthy pet is usually a happy one.
If your pet is looking unwell or behaving differently it is a good idea to take them to a vet.
By making sure your pet has plenty of space, clean conditions, a safe comfortable shelter, food, water and companionship, you are helping them to remain happy.
Food
Your pet needs food for energy. It is very important that your pet eats the right food and the right amounts of food. Too little or too much food or the wrong type of food can cause health problems for your pet.
It is also important to give them fresh food every day and to keep their food bowl clean.
If you are unsure about what to feed your pet, it’s a good idea to ask your vet.
Never feed your pet chocolate as this can make them very ill. If they accidentally eat a large amount of chocolate you should take them to your vet immediately.
The need to socialise
Most pets need the company of others to feel safe and secure. They enjoy animal company and human company.
If your pet doesn’t have any company they will soon get bored and anxious. This can lead to destructive behaviour such as chewing shoes, tearing up gardens or annoying the neighbours.
