Taking on a dog mean taking on a big responsibility. These are pets that need plenty of love, care and attention, but it’s all worth it. They give so much back in return. They’re loyal, loving and loads of fun.
New owners have no previous experience to draw upon, so when they pick up their new furry friend for the first time it’s an adventure into the unknown. They need to be prepared. These animals need plenty of exercise for starters. Even smaller breeds will happily walk a few miles each day. They need somewhere to sleep, a collar and lead plus plenty of toys. They love to play and have fun. Toys help stop them chewing things that they really shouldn’t.
Getting the right mix of pet food for a healthy diet is vitally important. In many ways it’s the most important aspect of pet care. Get their nutrition right and everything else just seems to slot into place. A pet that’s being fed the right things is a happy and healthy animal that will have a long and fulfilling life.
Each animal is different so there’s no one size fits all approach to feeding them. Down at the pet store new owners can find a great range of foods, but just as importantly they can speak to knowledgeable and helpful staff who can provide the advice and guidance they need to make sure their pet gets the right balance of meat and biscuit. Feed them properly and they’ll live a long and healthy life.
