Who doesn’t think of adopting a pet time and again? We all think of having that family member- our pet- who snuggles up with us in our comfy blankets (or maybe not, yes we’re talking about you- damn you birds!), and whose high-spirited presence makes us play with them. Having a pet is a lot of fun, and a lot of hard work as well. So, you can assess your situation and explore the options for the kind of pet you’d like to have. Adopt one and save the lives of those who never find a home and die out in the animal shelters. Following are the steps you can read through to have a comprehensive image of the things you will have to consider for your pet’s health and welfare-

Budget enough money for adequate care- Pet food according to their nutritional needs, grooming essentials, vet visits are some of the monetary expenses to be taken into account.
Schedule regular visits with the veterinarian- Be sure to schedule shots and vaccinations as soon as you can. Knowing your pet’s normal behaviour is very important; if they act unusually, such as sleeping more or going off their food, they might be sick or injured.

Having considered the fundamental things to consider for their health and welfare, it’s essentially a good practice to often show our affection for them because they need our attention and care. Let’s have a look at how we could keep proper care of our pets-

Give your pet your affection- Animals are social beings much like humans, and you need to set aside time to play with your pets so they get exercise and mental stimulation. Give your pet room to roam, buy toys for them and frequently play with them (it’s a good exercise for you too), and reinforce positive feedback to encourage good behaviour in them.
Walking your pet on a frequent basis- Some pets don't require you to do much beyond providing them with a safe place to move about. But others must be exercised. Making sure your pet gets enough exercise can help prevent aggression and destructive behaviours.
Make time for your pet- Try to take a little time out of each day to spend with your pet, even if it's just sitting down with them. More often than not, your pet would be more than happy to relax with you.
Love your pet-Love is what your relationship with your pet has to be about. Show him or her your affection by petting and playing.
