Are You a Responsible Pet Owner?

February 5, 2014 By //  by Tiffany Braxton Leave a Comment

February, National Responsible Pet Owners Month, was designated to celebrate and promote responsible pet ownership. Most of us realize that owning a pet is a privilege and should result in a mutually beneficial relationship. National Responsible Pet Owners Month is a time to recommit ourselves to our pets. Pet ownership comes with obligations as well as benefits. The following are a few points to consider:

  • Commit to the relationship for life
  • Be sure that you have the financial resources
  • Choose a pet appropriate for your lifestyle
  • Properly identify and register your pets
  • Provide exercise and mental stimulation
  • Provide preventative health care with regular vet visits
  • Spay/Neuter for reproduction control

According to Dr. Jan Pol, world-renowned veterinarian from the National Geographic series The Incredible Dr. Pol, ” Approximately 3.7 million animals are euthanized each year due to overcrowding and poorly-funded shelters. Spaying and neutering is the best way to prevent overcrowding in shelters. I support organizations like Givebones that recognize the importance of rescuing pets and helping shelters around the country.” So recommit to your pets and support our local shelters and rescues.

“Approximately 3.7 million animals are euthanized each year due to overcrowding and poorly-funded shelters. Spaying and neutering is the best way to prevent overcrowding in shelters.
