Here’s a few pet care tips to keep in mind:

  • Never let your dog or cat run loose. It is a good way to get an animal injured, stolen or even killed.
  • Always keep a current ID tag on your pet in case he gets lost.
  • Make sure there is fresh, clean water available at all times.
  • Never tie a dog outside on a choke collar. He can choke to death. Instead use a leather or nylon collar.
  • Never go on vacation and leave your pet shut in an empty house or tied outside. Be sure to provide for his comfort and care when you plan your trip.
