How to be a responsible pet owner?
This month you can read our guide on caring responsibly for your own animals at home and do your bit for biodiversity by protecting native wildlife. A dog or cat can be your best friend, but it takes a bit of work, lots of love and some patience. Choose a pet that matches your family’s lifestyle Feed your pet regularly with good quality food; otherwise a hungry pet will sometimes go hunting ‘Do the right thing’ with poo – scoop it up, and bin it or compost it. Remember, your pet can harm wildlife so keep your pet inside at night and also keep it on a leash where there is wildlife. If you can’t care for your pet find it a new home so it won’t stray and kill wildlife. For sick or injured native animals contact a wildlife rescue organisation or Taronga Wildlife Hospital.Finally, lots of love and good care will keep your pet happy and busy.
