How does my home affect my pet's ?
Dogs, cats, and rabbits can live either indoors or outdoors.
If you are wanting a dog, you should have space, a fence, and a yard.
It also would be a good idea to not have an apartment if you want a dog.
If you have rabbits, hamsters, guinea pigs, mice, or any other mammals
that live in cages, you should clean and wash the cage weekly. You
should make sure that the cage door is always closed unless you or someone
else is right there in front of it. Any animals food and water should be
changed daily.
Did you know that in the state of Arkansas pet stores cannot sell dogs
or cats because the state requires dogs and cats to have 24 hour supervision.
