Being a responsible pet owner means:

Providing your pet with nutritious food and fresh water

Getting your pet spayed or neutered

Being sure you can care for your pet throughout its lifetime

Putting a collar and identification tags on your pet

Taking time and patience to train your pet

Making sure your pet is taken care of when you go away for the day or on vacation

Spending time with your pet each day exercising, grooming, and giving love and attention

Making sure your pet always has shelter with a comfortable, quiet, dry place to rest

Taking your pet to a veterinarian for regular checkups, vaccinations, and treatment for illness

Here are the basic needs of every pet:

1) Food
2) Water
3) Shelter
4) Exercise
5) Grooming
6) Veterinary Care
7) Toys... just like kids, pets like to have toys to play with
8) Training
9) Time... you need to spend time with your pet
10) Lots of Love!!!
