Pet care tips 1. Always periodically check your pet's collar to see that it has not become too tight during the growing process. You should be able to at least move one finger between the collar and his neck.
Dehydration sets in, and shock and even death can occur.
See that your pet has special treats and toys of his own. Don't allow small children to be alone with your pets. Although most children do not want to intentionally hurt an animal, it is easy to mishandle a trusting pet by pulling, poking, or choking. Some unfortunate animals have been mistakenly abused by being dropped or being caught in a slamming door by young children. Have a special time for walks with your dog, even if he has a fenced yard, and playtimes with your cat.
