Pet Care

Owning a pet can be a lot of fun; it has enormous benefits and at the same time carries certain responsibilities:

  • register your pet to help us return your pet if they become lost
  • desex your pet to prevent unwanted breeding
  • provide a balanced diet and clean cool water at all times, in a container that cannot be tipped over
  • provide a comfortable dry sleeping area, along with shade during the day
  • confine your pet to your property at all times
  • keep cats indoors at night e.g. house, shed or garage
  • place pets in suitable accommodation (kennel) when you are on holidays
  • socialise your dog with other animals and people, particularly during the early stages 8-16 week period
  • respect the rights of other people by keeping your pet under control and on a lead in public places like parks
  • take your pet for regular vet check-ups, vaccinate and regularly worm them (including heartworm for dogs, fleas and ticks)
  • train and regularly exercise your dog.
