The decision to make a living
creature a part of your life can
be an exhilarating and highly
rewarding experience ... if you
get it right.
Getting it wrong can mean great
heartache and pain, not to mention
vast expense.
Choosing Right For Me and your
family is much more than deciding
upon your favourite animal or
particular breed.
It's also normally a long-term
commitment. Dogs, for example,
typically live for 12-14 years
(depending on size and breed).
Cats can go on for 20 years or
more. So you need to be certain
that it can give you what you
want and, most crucially of all,
that you can provide for all its
needs.
This means ensuring your new friend
has suitable accommodation, correct
diet, proper care to keep it free
of disease, pain and injury, and
that it enjoys a happy and fulfilling
life - for the whole of its life.
