How to Be Nice to Your Pets
Everyone needs to know how to be nice to their own pets! Here are a few tips to being nice to your pets and other animals.
1-StepsGroom your dog or cat a lot. Cats and dogs love to be groomed. And scratched. But if they do not like it, don't do it; that will just make them hate you.
2-Feed them not too little, but not too much either. You have to distinguish between the times they're genuinely hungry and the times they're just trying to get food.
3-Clean their food and drink bowls at least once a day. It's the same as with us. You wouldn't eat out of the same plate for one whole week, and you wouldn't drink out of the same glass, cup, or mug for a month!
4-Give your pets extra attention. Pets are like children; they want as much of your attention as possible, dogs especially. In general, acknowledge your pet's existence; even saying "Hi, how are you doing?" will show that you care about them and that you can see them, even if they don't understand a word you're saying.
5-Take dogs on walks. Most dogs don't like being holed up in a house or in the same backyard all day long; they like to get out and explore. They can also meet other dogs this way; if you only saw other people when you went on walks, wouldn't you enjoy them too?
6-Just sit down and maybe watch a movie every once in awhile, and hold your pet and just have some quality time together! Or just sit on the grass and goof around.
7-Treat them like your child. Of course, this doesn't mean having discussions with it, but just watch out for them. Try to comfort them when they seem scared. Play with them when they're hyper.
8-Do not do anything to hurt it!
9-Take it to the vet regularly. Your pet may not like it, but in the end, it's better to cause a bit of discomfort now than to find out later that it has a bad case of worms that could of been stopped awhile ago.Reward it once in a while.
10-TipsBe sure you don't have anything on your fingers that will bother your pet while petting it.
11-Your tone of voice has a lot to do with how your pet will react. Saying "I love you, you're the best pet in the world!" in a tone that implies you hate it won't exactly convey your message.
Warnings:If your pet doesn't like what you are doing to it, then stop right away! However, there are exceptions; if you're doing it for its own good, like giving it a bath, continue doing it, but soothe them as much as you can.
