Keeping your pet content

Whether you own a cat or a dog, it goes without saying that it’s your duty to ensure that they are 100% happy, 100% of the time.

Unfortunately, the novelty of a pet can quickly wear off for some people, and this is when problems can start to occur.

There are many very important aspects of looking after cats and dogs which need to be properly addressed, and even though they are the most commonly kept pets in the UK, the lack of knowledge of some pet owners is simply alarming.

The dietary requirements of your pet is one of the most vital things which needs to be taken into consideration, and whilst there are many different brands and types of foods for both cats and dogs, if you’re unsure of what you should be looking for, seek advice from a vet.

Ensuring that your pet has a comfortable place in which to rest is also essential, and there are lots of beds for cats and dogs which can be picked up really cheaply nowadays.

Pet toys can also help to keep your cat or dog occupied- particularly younger canine chums or feline friends- and again, these can be snapped up very affordably.

Remember, unlike Christmas cards, a pet is for life- not just for Christmas.

Tackling pet thieves

Our pets are extremely important to us. A lot of the time, they can become part of the family. But sadly, our pets can become an object of desire to pet thieves.

These people steal pets in order to make money from breeding, illegal fighting and reward money. There are certain breeds which are more at risk than others but you can take steps to reduce the threat.

Firstly, ensure that your pet had an ID tag. Even better, you could fit them with a microchip which will help to identify the pet should the ID tag be lost. Don’t let your pet outside alone and ensure that your property is secure. You can also vary your walk routes and perhaps consider neutering your pet to ensure that they are not stolen for breeding purposes.

State of the art hospital – for pets

A new hospital has opened in Glasgow with MRI and CT scanners as well as a hydrotherapy pool. But this is not a state of the art unit for human patients; this is all for pets.

The hospital has caused great controversy as £15 million has been spent on it. But in a world where dog fighting and animal cruelty seems to be on the increase, many argue that it is about time that money was invested in our pets and their welfare.

The funding has come from a fundraising campaign, and funding from the university as vets will be trained there. There will also be fees paid for appointments at the hospital.

Anything that helps our pets has got to be a good thing. They deserve a healthy, happy life as much as us humans.
