Tips for responsible pet care

By: Lee Malcolm

A dog is a big responsibility. They aren't like other pets. They require so much more care and attention from their owners, but on the flip side they give so much back. They are such rewarding animals to own. They are full of love and mischief and there's always a reason to get out for a walk when there's a dog in the house.

Good pet care revolves around these essential elements. First up exercise. Bigger dogs especially need to walk miles everyday. They aren't meant to be kept indoors all day. They are active animals and need to get out for several walks each day. Next up they need love and attention. They can left alone for hours everyday. They are pack animals. Social creatures who love company. Finally they need a good diet. Their dog food needs to contain all the nutrients they need to grow up strong and stay healthy.

Different breeds have very different dietary requirements. There's no such thing as a one size fits all approach to this aspect of pet care. Novice owners should take a trip to a pet store to get advice on what their new dog needs to eat in order to get a balanced diet.

When it comes to dog food each animal is going to need a mix of meat and dry food. It's this combination that gives them the right balance. It's important to watch how much they eat and not to indulge them with excessive treats or foods that are bad for them. It's cruelty rather than kindness.

By seeking out advice and not spoiling their pet, a new owner can construct a balanced diet for their dog that will keep them happy, healthy and full of life. And that's at the heart of being a responsible owner.
