FAQ
What are three things that you need to consider before getting a cat?
These are the questions to ask before you buy a cat.
-
Are there any health concerns for the cat?
-
Can the cat eat all of my food?
-
Do I want to have a cat because I like cats? Or do I just want one pet?
What do you do if your dog bites somebody?
You should first check that the animal you are being attacked is not rabid. If this is not possible then you should call for assistance. You could be seriously hurt if you try to manage the situation yourself.
If the pet is not aggressive but bites, it should be taken to a veterinary hospital. Your vet will examine the animal and decide if any additional treatment is required.
In most cases, rabies shots will be required. These shots should not be administered by you. Only qualified people should perform this task.
Which size are cats and dogs easier to train?
Both. It depends on how you approach training them.
If you give them treats for doing what they're supposed to do, they'll learn faster. However, if you ignore them and don't listen to them, they'll begin to ignore you.
There is no right or bad answer. The best way to teach your cat/dog is the one you choose.

How To
How to train your dog
A pet dog can be considered a companion animal who offers emotional support and companionship for its owner. It may protect its owner from predators and animals.
A pet dog must be trained by its owners to perform certain tasks such as fetching items, guarding against intruders, obeying commands, and performing tricks.
The training period usually lasts between six months and two years. The owner will teach the dog basic obedience skills like how to sit, lie, stay, come when called and walk on command. The owner also trains the dog to obey simple verbal commands and learns how to handle the dog's natural instincts.
Apart from teaching the basic behaviors to the dog, the owner should teach it to not bite other animals or people and to be respectful of strangers.
