Responsible Animal Owner

February is Responsible Animal Owner Month, according to AVMA.org, and as it’s Valentine’s day today we need to show our creatures some love too, so below are some clips taken from the Web to help you make sure you are looking after your pet responsibly.

!!!Remember, if you can NOT look after your pet, please do NOT just dump it or leave it tied up somewhere – please take it to your nearest Rescue and Rehome Centre, RSPCA or ASPCA or equivalent where they will be able to offer it a loving home!!!
