It’s time to relent. The kids have been going on and on about pets. They won’t give up on the idea and have promised to look after them, whatever it is that they pick out at the store. Owning a pet is one of the best things about childhood. Plus they’ll learn all about responsibility too. They’ll be so excited in the car on the way down to the pet shop.
These are real creatures, not toys, so children have to learn all about their new furry friend and how to look after it properly. They need plenty of love and attention. They might need cleaning out and exercising too. It’s a big responsibility, so a pet should never be purchased on a whim. It’s best to do some research first before making a commitment like this.
Diet is key to health and happiness. Get nutrition right and everything else seems to fall into place. Animal feed comes in many different forms. Each pet is different so it might take them a little while to settle them into a routine. Plus it’s important to remember that animals need different types of food during each stage of their life. A puppy or a kitten is growing fast. They need food packed with nutrients to help them grow. Older animals on the other hand benefit from food with supplements to help them with stiff joints. Down at the pet store there’s a great range of food to choose from and knowledgeable staff on hand to help and advise.
