On the third Saturday in September, Responsible Dog Ownership Day reminds pet owners to make a promise to your furever friend.
The observance encourages current and future pet owners to commit to being responsible for their loyal hound. Being responsible protects not only the dog but all those who may be affected by him, too. Dogs bring many benefits to our lives. Ensuring they remain healthy, happy, and safe is a vital part of our job as dog owners.
The pawsabilities for excellent pet care include:
Veterinary care
Training
Grooming
Exercise
Proper disposal of waste
Identifying household risks and dangers
Acceptable socialization
Registration according to local regulations
We need to be on the lookout for their well-being and the well-being of those around them. It may come as a surprise to many how much care dogs require. Keeping them healthy and safe includes many considerations. Their size, energy, medical care, temperament, and many other needs are the dog owner’s responsibility. Often, dogs bring unexpected expenses. We need to be prepared to make decisions regarding their care when illness or injury occurs, too.
Dog owners know how rewarding a canine companion can be. At the same time, a responsible dog owner knows they are accountable for their dog’s behavior and health. Those rewards require effort and genuine commitment. Share your tips and suggestions for those considering adding a dog to their family. Pose questions for others regarding how they maintain a canine relationship. Give a shout out to your vet, groomer or another service for helping you to be a responsible dog owner.
We have over 300 animals at our Rescue Centre all waiting for their responsible owner. If you tick all the boxes to be a responsible owner and you are prepared to commit yourself, for may be as long as 15 years, to the wellbeing of a dog please do come along to visit our Rescue Centre. They are open 7 days a week from 9am to 1pm.
