You might be putting them in danger without knowing it

Whether you have a cat, a dog, birds, or fish, you no doubt love your pets and want to protect them. All too often though, mistakes are made and animals pay the ultimate price.

Just the other day my neighbor came home from a long weekend in New York to find his dog on the floor. He rushed him to the vet where he was diagnosed with severe dehydration. The dog’s life was saved, but this prompted me to write about pet safety.

When you’re planning a trip, whether it’s a couple of days or a few weeks, don’t leave the care of your pet in the hands of neighbors, strangers, or teenagers looking to make a couple of bucks. These people might have the best of intentions, but anything can go wrong.

Every day people fall ill or have accidents. While some accidents are minor, others are more severe. The victims might end up in the hospital, unable to communicate and meanwhile, your pet is left to its own devices. Suddenly there is nobody to feed the pet or to provide it with food and water.

If you’re planning on traveling, do the right thing and engage the services of a professional pet sitter. A professional pet sitter organization is made up of several individuals. Not only are these men and women responsible, but they are also trained to deal with emergencies. If the person assigned to care for your pet falls ill or has an accident, another member of the organization will step in.

If you’re considering the services of a professional pet sitter, it is advisable to vet that person. Don’t merely make arrangements over the phone, insist on references, and on meeting the pet sitter. Not only will the pet sitter agree to such a meeting, but even suggest it himself.

During a face-to-face meeting, not only will you get to know the person a little, but he/she will get to know your pet. If you have more than one pet, the pet sitter will ask for pictures of the pets and ask for their names. He/she will also make notes of any dietary requirements.

If you are happy with the pet sitter, you will be required to provide keys to your home. While you’re away, the pet sitter will provide your pet with food and water, talk to your pet and play with him/her.

When engaging a pet sitter, you have the option of one visit per day, two visits per day, or a live-in person. Obviously, for a live-in person, you will be charged more than for one or two visits per day.

You might also want to consider a camera in your home. Via an app, on your phone, you can keep an eye on your pet while you’re away. Should you notice that anything is amiss, you can call the pet sitter who will immediately rush to your home and take action.

If you live in an apartment or condo with a balcony, consider having that balcony enclosed with netting. Some cats like to sit on the ledge of a balcony watching life go by. You may think that your pet is safe but cats are unpredictable. All it takes is for a bird to fly by and your cat might forget his/her surroundings. As your cat lunges for the bird he/she might lose its balance and plunge down. Even if your cat survives the fall, it could be injured. Not only could kitty have a broken paw or rib, but suddenly he/she finds himself in unfamiliar surroundings, leading to panic. In his panic, he/she might run into the street and be lost forever or worse, killed. Certain types of netting are quite invisible when properly installed and will prevent such accidents.

Don’t feed your cat or dog scraps off the table. It might be difficult saying no to a cat or dog’s pleading eyes, but it’s easy for them to choke on a piece of meat. Not only is choking a real possibility, but most human food is too fatty, too salty, or too spicy for animals. Milk and cheese should be off the menu too as most cats and dogs are lactose intolerant.

Vegans and vegetarians might be hesitant to feed their pet meat, but not feeding a cat or dog food that is specifically designed for them is not only dangerous but cruel. Animals need meat as they need far more protein than humans do.
