Pets depend on us for, at minimum, food and shelter, and deserve much more. Think before you decide to take a pet into your life. Realize that owning a pet is a lifetime commitment. If you already own a pet, are you fulfilling your obligations as a pet owner? To guarantee a happy and healthy pet, consider the following:
Spay and neuter your pets.
Vaccinate your pet.
ID & license your pet.
Microchip your pet.
Provide proper veterinary care.
Provide regular exercise.
Provide clean water and food daily.
Teach children to respect animals.
Owning a pet is not just a privilege,
it's a responsibility.
