Caring for your pet
- Feed your pet a balanced diet and provide it with cool clean water at all times.
- Brush your pet's coat at least once a week. Dogs need to be bathed regularly.
- Make sure your pet has a dry sleeping area.
- Exercise your pet regularly.
- Protect your pet's health with vaccinations, regular worm, flea and tick control.
-
Register your dog or cat with us and make sure your pet wears its registration tag.
- Keep your pet to your property at all times. Cats should be kept indoors at night.
- Obedience training will make your dog a better companion and stop it from barking too much.
- Dogs and cats not used for breeding should be desexed before six months of age.
- Make sure your dog or cat is cared for while you’re on holidays - preferably at a registered kennel or cattery.
