BASIC CARE OF PETS (DOGS AND CATS)

Choice of the pet

♣ The first thing you have to ask yourself is whether

you are willing to adopt an animal

♣ In case you want to adopt for that you must be

willing to devote part of your time to the new pet, be

patient and perseverant, share part of your free time

with the animal and know how to act.

Feeding

♣ It is very important your pet have a balanced diet

that meets his needs

The ideal, both for dogs and cats, is to consume dry

food, adapted to each stage of growth and to each

need. They should never eat raw food.

♣ It is convenient to prevent obesity.

♣ In periods of gestation or lactation, bitches and cats

should be provided with a commercial range of products.

Hygiene

♣ The frequency of bathing is once a month and we

recommend daily brushing.
