Just like people, pets need food that meets their specific nutritional needs. Dog foods are designed to meet a dog’s nutritional needs and cat foods are designed to meet a cat’s nutritional needs. Importantly, their dietary needs are very different. Puppies require different food from senior dogs. Pet’s with health issues may require special diets. Table scraps are typically not good for dogs and cats because many of the foods we eat, such as salt, garlic, and onions are bad for your pet’s health and can make them sick or even be fatal.

Don’t forget to give pets the right amount of food, too! Overfeeding your pet or giving him too many treats could lead to obesity, which could consequently trigger more health problems such as heart disease, renal problems, and more. Weigh your options when it comes to pet food to avoid these kinds of illnesses — and if you don’t exactly know what foods are best for your pet, it’s a great idea to ask the opinion of your vet!

 Reptiles and amphibians are separate classes of animals, but are collectively known as herptiles. These cold-blooded creatures need habitats with heating elements to ensure proper temperature regulation. Do some research on your specific pet to choose the most appropriate type of terrarium habitat.

Though some herptiles will happily chomp away on commercial pet food, many require fresher fare. This could include fruits, veggies, insects, and small rodents. Snakes, for example, often eat chicks and mice. Ask your local pet store about what they have available and be sure to research your pet’s specific nutritional needs.

Like fish, reptiles and amphibians need to have their habitats cleaned regularly. You’ll want to do some daily maintenance, such as removing uneaten food and wiping up spills, plus a more thorough weekly cleaning. It’s a good idea to have a second terrarium on hand to make sure your pet is safe while you clean.

Curious, food-driven, and unable to listen to your warnings, pets can get into trouble if you don't create boundaries or safe spaces. Birds may dart out of open windows, lizards can scamper around the house, and dogs or cats may run into the street. Take note of openings your pet could accidentally escape through and make sure you can keep food out of their reach.

Remove any harmful objects like knives or poisonous food.

If you want your animal to have outside time, consider putting in a fence.

Put aside one room that you can designate as the pet's "bedroom."

Aim to adopt your pet during a relatively quiet time in your life so that everyone can avoid undue stress while getting used to each other.

This is a priority for all kinds of pets. Well, I’m sure you’re a pet lover but if you’re not feeding them properly, then there’s something missing out in your affection for them. Pets love being around people who feed them. Consider a stray, for example. If you feed a stray for a long time, it is but obvious that they’ll create some attachment with you.

Eating is similar to love for them. It is a pet’s way of loving you back. It gives immense happiness to be loved by such a pet. And so, making sure that their diet is proper and the kind of food given to them contains all the nutrients and minerals your pet needs to keep healthy and playful all the time, is the right way to go!

This is a MUST. All pets need these injections. There’s nothing more serious than having your pet get admitted to the hospital for infections and allergies and in case you didn’t know, pets have allergies too. And it is best if these infections are well known to the owner so as to avoid rough conditions.

Also, keep in mind that your pet doesn’t have any after effects. In rare cases, pets tend to have allergic reactions to even the vaccines and injections. Make sure your pet stays out of danger

This is important because your pets live where you do. They will only be free of germs if you keep the house clean and hygienic. Pets are really prone to getting infections if your house isn’t neat and tidy. Although, it’s different when your pets make their own mess. But well, that’s another case.

Also, it is important that whatever you use to clean your house, isn’t harmful to you and your pet. Because they’re going to be trained enough not to climb on sofas and beds. And that’s why, make sure the that the floor is a good place to be.

We human can clean ourselves but these poor animals can't so its our duty to bath them. Daily you must bathe them. This will clean the dust and germs from there body. But if you know that the pet is allergic or prone to cold then you must avoid using water on them instead clean them with mild wet cloth.
