Pet Owner Charter
Owning a pet is a privilege not a right
I have chosen to own a pet
I understand that a pet is for life
I am responsible for my pet’s health and wellbeing, I will…
- ensure my pet has a proper diet and clean water at all times
- make sure I can afford, and that my pet receives necessary veterinary care including disease preventative treatments such as vaccinations
- commit to spending time with my pet on a daily basis to ensure they get exercise, affection and mental stimulation
- provide a dry, safe place for my pet to sleep
I will be a responsible pet owner by…
- having my pet sterilised to prevent unwanted pregnancies and diseases
- ensuring my pet has some form of identification such as a microchip
- not allowing my pet to be a nuisance in the neighbourhood or when out exercising.
- training and socialising my dog before taking it out so that it is always under my control
- picking up and correctly dispose of my dog’s faeces and my cat’s litter tray contents
