Pets, when well taken care of, can make a home lively and can provide good company. Dogs are very loyal creatures while cats are very affectionate, to mention but a few of the benefits that come with pets. The important things to note when taking care of your pet will depend on the kind of pet that you have. Here are some of the general guidelines for taking care of any pet:1. Keep them neat and clean to keep them from bacteria that make them sick and cause diseases. Provide a clean litter box especially for cats and take dogs to the vet at least once every six months to check for rabies.2. Give them enough food to avoid starving them. Make sure too that you give them their proper diets. Dogs require food rich in proteins and one should also feed them on dog food regularly. Cats should be fed on meat based diet and one should avoid giving them foods heavy with grains and carbohydrates.3. Show them attention often for example by playing with them or they might run away and wont come near you even when you call for them. Some birds will turn to destructive behavior when not constantly handled.4. If they are to be caged, it should not be for long duration as in the case of dogs. Cats should not be caged. When purchasing a bird cage, make sure that it is made of a non-toxic material and that it is not coated with paint that can peel off.
