Be Responsible
- Make sure that your pet and pets you know have an ID tag and are microchipped. If your pet ever gets lost, this will aid in getting him back home. Your pet cannot tell people where he lives, the ID tag and microchip are the only way that someone can contact you to reunite you with your pet.
- Get a current license for your pet. It is the law that dogs and cats are licensed. Any dog or cat over the age of 4 months must be vaccinated against rabies. Send proof of the vaccination to the county and you will get a tag for your animal that proves the dog or cat is licensed.
- Make sure your pet gets proper food. Dogs eat dog food and cats eat cat food. Each has it's own specific dietary needs. You should limit “people food.” There are several foods that are safe for humans that are poisonous for cats and dogs (such as chocolate, onions, raisins & grapes).
- Always make sure that your pet has fresh, clean water! Most animals are unable to go to the refrigerator and pour themselves a drink. You are responsible to make sure they have clean water at all times.
- Exercise your pet everyday. It is healthy for them and you. Take your dog out to play fetch, drag toys for your cat to chase and hunt. It is healthy for them and they also love the attention and time together.
