What is responsibility?

Webster defines it as the quality or state of being responsible; as moral, legal, or mental accountability. Responsibility relating to pet ownership covers a wide range of topics and areas.

You have a responsibility to yourself to make an informed decision about adding a pet to your household. Different breeds of cats and dogs have different needs and personalities as well as maintenance requirements. Some birds need more handling and attention than others. How do you find the right match for you?

You have a responsibility to provide health care, food, shelter, training, exercise and most of all love. All this takes time and commitment. If you cannot provide basic needs for your pet then neither of you will be happy.

You have a responsibility to your community for you and your pet to be good neighbors and obey laws set in place for protection of animals, people and property.

We have numerous articles and websites linked here offering a wealth of information to help you be an informed and responsible animal owner.
