Pet owners urged to take better care of their animals
Is your yard secure so that your pets do not land up in the street?
The Animal Anti-Cruelty League (AACL) urges people to take better care of their pets. Here are some tips to consider when it comes to looking after your furry friends:
* Know the veterinarian who treats your pet.
* Provide a healthy environment: Is your yard secure so that your pets do not land up in the street? Is there shade and shelter for them?
* Consider their food: Ensure that the food given has a healthy nutritional balance. Are the servings a sufficient amount? Do not give them people food.
* Make sure their vaccinations are up to date.
* Protect their teeth.
* Have your pet sterilized: It is illegal to have a non-spayed female within the municipal district.
* Consider having pet insurance: The cost of veterinary care for your pet can become a financial burden.
