All the answers to your pet care questions
Having a pet can be one of the most rewarding experiences in life, but it also comes with a plethora of questions. As experienced pet carers, we know that there are countless "pet care questions" that pet owners have.
The basics of pet care
Every pet is unique. That is why the needs of every pet are different. Nevertheless, there are a few basic principles of pet care that are the same for every pet.
- Healthy food: A healthy diet is the basis for your pet's health. But what type of food is best for your pet? Should you choose dry food or wet food?
- Activity: How much exercise does your pet really need? Does a dog need more exercise than a cat? How much exercise do pets like Guinea pig and hamsters?
- Grooming: How often should you bathe your pet? How do you trim a dog's or cat's claws? Should you trim your pet's fur or not?
The most frequently asked pet care questions and the answer to them
What should I feed?
The conversation about the best food for your pet could fill an entire book. Unfortunately, there is no simple answer to this question, as your pet's nutritional needs depend on many factors, including age, breed, activity level and health status. It is always best to discuss your pet's diet with a vet.
How much exercise does my pet need?
Similar to humans, pets also need exercise to stay healthy and happy. With dogs it's simple - the bigger the dog, the more exercise is generally needed. For cats, even fifteen minutes of intense play can be enough.
How do I look after feeding and activity?
It is important to find a good balance between feeding and activity. Too many treats and too little exercise can lead to weight problems. Always remember that exercise and food should go hand in hand.
