FAQ
How to feed a pet.
Dogs and cats consume four times a daily amount of food. Dry kibble is used for breakfast. Lunch is typically some kind of meat, such as chicken or beef. Most dinners include some type of vegetable, such as broccoli or peas.
Cats may have different dietary preferences. Canadian foods should be included in their diet. These include chicken, tuna fish, salmon and sardines.
Your pet may also enjoy eating fruits and vegetables. But, your pet shouldn't eat them too often. Cats can get sick from overeating.
You shouldn't allow your pet water right from the faucet. Instead, allow him to drink from a bowl.
Make sure that your pet gets enough exercise. Exercise will help him lose weight. It is also good for his health.
After feeding your pet, be sure to clean up any spillages. This will help prevent your pet ingesting bacteria.
Make sure to brush your pet every day. Brushing your pet regularly can help remove dead skin cells that could lead to infection.
At least two times per week, brush your pet. Use a soft bristle brush. Do not use a wire brush. This can cause harm to your pet's smile.
When your pet eats, be sure to supervise him. He needs to chew his food properly. Otherwise, he could choke on pieces of bone.
Your pet should not be allowed to use garbage cans. This can harm your pet's health.
Don't leave your pet alone in an enclosed place. This applies to hot tubs, boats, cars, and other enclosed spaces.
Which size are cats and dogs easier to train?
The answer is both. It all depends upon how you approach training them.
Children learn faster when you reward them for their good behavior. However, if you ignore them and don't listen to them, they'll begin to ignore you.
There is no right or bad answer. You need to determine the best way of teaching your cat or dog.
What should I do if my dog bites someone?
If you are attacked or threatened by an animal, ensure that it is not rabid. If that is impossible, call for help. Do not try to resolve the situation on your own, as you may be seriously injured.
If the animal is not aggressive but does bite, then take it to a veterinary clinic. Your vet will examine the animal and decide if any additional treatment is required.
Rabies shots are usually required in most cases. However, you should never administer these yourself. Only a qualified person should be able to do this.

How To
How do you choose the right name for your pet?
When you are considering adopting a pet into your family, it is one the most crucial decisions you will make. It is important to choose a name that best reflects the person and personality of your pet.
Also, think about how others might refer you to them. For example, if you plan to use their name when speaking with someone. Last, consider how you wish to be referred too. Do you prefer "pet" or "dog"?
These are some tips to get you started.
-
Select a name to fit your dog's breed. If you know the breed (e.g., Labradoodle), look up the names associated with that breed. Ask someone who has a deep understanding of dogs for suggestions on naming a dog after the breed.
-
Think about the meaning of the name. Some breeds have names that are based on people or places. Others are nicknames. Because he was always running, the name Rover was given to a Labrador Retriever.
-
Think about how you'd like to be called. Would you rather call your dog "dog", or "pet"? Would you rather call your dog "Puppy", "Buddy" or "Buddy?"
-
Make sure to include the owner's name. It makes sense to give your dog a name that includes your last name but doesn't limit yourself to only including your family members' names. Your dog could grow up to become a member of your family.
-
Keep in mind, many pets have multiple nicknames. For example, a cat might go by several names depending on where she lives. While she may be called "Kitty Cat" at her home, she might go by "Molly" when visiting her friends. This is especially true when cats live outdoors. They often adopt their names to fit their environment.
-
Be creative There are no rules saying that you must stick to a specific naming convention. It is important to pick something distinctive and memorable.
-
Be sure to check that your chosen name does not already belong in the hands of another person or organization. This will ensure that you don't accidentally steal another's identity.
-
Remember that choosing the right name for your pet can be difficult. Sometimes it takes time to determine whether a name is right for your dog. Keep looking until you find that perfect name.
