Responsible pet ownership

CEBU, Philippines - Having a constant companion who makes you happy is one of the rewards you get in owning a pet. But owning a pet requires full responsibility and commitment.

You reciprocate the love you receive by making your pet look good and smell good. You must know how your pets behave when they’re groomed.

One of the ways you can groom your pet is to bathe him/her. There are pets who love water such as dogs: Labradors, Golden Retrievers, Poodles and Shih Tzus.

There are silent types who sit on your lap when you cut their long nails.

Furry pets are cute to cuddle but they also have the need to cut their fur short. Trimming their fur is one of the ways you can make your pet look good and neat.

In MCA Animal Care Clinic in Talisay, you’ll get the chance to see how your pets are groomed. The experts trim their fur, cut their nails, clean their ears and bathe them. Pet accessories are also available. If you don’t want to see your pet chocked in chains, you can use a body harness so you can walk with your pet without chocking them. The clinic also has body accessories like neck belts (bling), comb, toothbrush and toothpaste.

Of course, pet grooming and beautification will not be complete without pet vaccination. Vaccination is important for every pet to help them stay protected and healthy. Schedules can be weekly, monthly or yearly to prevent them against rabies and other diseases. Strictly follow vaccination schedule – this is according to the vets of MCA. Also, when your pets are not feeling well, have them checked immediately. Go see a veterinarian.

Your pet’s life depends on you. You must also know how to be responsible in dealing with your pets. Love your pets and make them part of the family.
