You already know as a fur parent that your pets are more than just animals; they are living beings with personalities and emotions. If they are well-loved, they can be a loyal friend and valued addition to your family.. Having a pet entails a great deal of responsibility, but it’s also a unique experience. Every fur parent wants the best for their pet dogs. We’ve compiled the five best ways to help you become a responsible pet owner.

Create a pet-friendly environment in your home

Making your home secure for your dogs is one of the best things you can do for them. When they arrive at your home, it becomes their entire world. Make sure to keep hazardous plants out of reach of pets. Also, keep away any xylitol-containing items that are very toxic for your fur baby. To make your buddy happy, make sure to have toys, a fluffy blanket, and a bed for him.

Provide your fur baby with proper training

Pieces of training foster mutual respect and trust, and it may be a perfect opportunity for you and your best buddy to bond. When dogs are trained and taught new skills, they thrive. Obedience training assures your dog that he understands what to do and when to please his master. Obedience training also ensures that your pet acts appropriately among other people and animals.

Spay or neuter your fur baby

More animals end up in shelters than having a loving home ready and able to take them in. Having your furbaby spayed or neutered can help reduce the number of euthanized animals or end up in shelters. You’ll have to find them new homes unless you want to have additional puppies running around your house. It’s not always as simple as it appears, and unwelcomed newborns frequently end up  in shelters waiting to be put to sleep.

Give your fur baby a good regular workout

Not all pets are created equal. Some pets will necessitate more exercise than others. Dogs usually demand a lot of time outside to burn off excess energy, whether walking or playing in the park. Always keep in mind that a happy pet is exhausted. Exercise will enhance both your pet’s mind and body. It keeps them trim and healthy while also keeping them calm and docile.

Pick Up After Your Pet

Being a responsible fur parent also entails respecting others. Picking up your dog’s poop may not be your favorite part about owning a dog, but it’s an important one that helps keep our parks and outdoor spaces, along with our community and pets safe.   Dog poop is not actually fertilizer. Dog poop can contribute to water pollution and spread diseases if not disposed of correctly. One gram of dog poop contains 23 million bacteria, like E.coli, salmonella, Campylobacteriosis, and tapeworms.
