So, what exactly does your pet need?

The most important aspect of responsible pet ownership is keeping them healthy and safe.
There are many things to consider when purchasing a pet such as:

  • Housing– needs to be secure in a confined back yard with shelter provided or on a leash in public areas
  • Feeding– an appropriate balanced diet and clean, cool water at all times
  • Microchipping and registration– all dogs must be microchipped from 12 weeks and all dogs must wear an identification tag when in public which must include name, address and or phone number. This ensures a much greater chance of having a lost pet returned.
  • Vet checks, vaccinations, worming, flea treatment to ensure good health
  • Desexing
  • Grooming
  • Training– ensure pet is socialised, trained and exercised
  • Boarding– pets need to be looked after if you go away on holidays

Let's get more specific on different requirements!
