Many of the blogs and websites I often visit are filled with tips and tricks for new pet owners that I am sure many of you have read and used yourself. I’m not suggesting you ignore pet care and just do whatever you want, but there are a few things to keep in mind that might make some self-awareness easier to take part in.
When it comes to pet care, the most important thing to remember is that you should always feed your pets at least 2-3 times per day. Not only do they need to be fed, but you need to give them the right amount of exercise. Most of the time I get a pet that just wants to be petted and not do anything more than drink water or have a nap.
Pet care isn’t easy as it’s not that it’s hard, but it’s really hard to do when you just won’t ever do it consistently. If you do go out to buy or buy from pet stores, make sure you don’t just do it once in a while or you’ll end up buying something that doesn’t work well for your pet.
I got my first pet at the age of three, and I still think its too young to be having a pet. I would like to get a cat, but my mother has already said that cats arent really good pets for the environment, and she would hate me if something bad happened to it.
If all you have is a cat, there are probably better ways to introduce it to your home. If you have a dog, you’d probably be able to pick up a dog litter box at garage sales or on Craigslist. You can probably even buy a dog food at the grocery store or check out pet supply stores.
My mother has already found a dog litter box in our garage, and she wants to know if I’d be interested in having a little pet. I can’t bring myself to agree with her. Even a dog? How do you even begin to get something like that started? We have a dog, but his name is Bessie. He’s a rescue pit bull, so we do have a few restrictions on what he can do in our home.
Okay, so you might be thinking, “But I do have a dog.” That would be really cool. But you are not going to be able to get it started because you have to first get the dog out of the house. The best thing you can do is buy a dog-proof box. Dogs are very particular about what they eat, and if you put dog food inside a box, you’ll have to change it regularly.
That all sounds very practical, but as a dog owner it’s a little intimidating, since there’s nothing like having a dog that’s going to be destructive. Of course, this is all assuming that you actually have a dog. If you don’t, then you might want to use a “dog-proof” box, which is a small container or bag that you can put in your kitchen.
That dog-proof box is a great idea, but it might also contain something that will cause a lot of trouble for your dog. You know how dogs can be so quick to eat something that if they eat that food that its like theyre suddenly a hundred pounds of meat? Well, dogs just dont like it when their food is spilled all over the floor. With a dog-proof box, you dont have to worry about that.
Pet screener are a great idea. You can also use it as a pet carrier. Dogs are pack animals and are used to carrying their food and toys and such in their mouths. If you keep your dog in a pet screener, theyll be even more secure.
