Pet care is very much like human health care: it involves taking good care of yourself as well as looking after your animal friend. The following points give some general guidelines on caring for your pet.

Health is important. It can help you to know what they are feeling and how they may be reacting to their environment, so that you can take action if necessary. You should also keep a record of any changes in behaviour or appearance which might indicate illness. This will enable you to seek advice from the vet when needed.
