Should It Be A Dog Or A Cat For The Future

When considering a new pet, it is important to decide whether a cat or a dog is going to fit better into the family. There are some people that find it hard to decide between because they like dogs and cats. It is often useful to get some very basic pet health pointers about which animal is going to be the best for you and your family. After all buying a pet is something that should not be taken for granted and it needs to be a worthwhile decision.

Consider Furry Bundles Of Joy

The great thing about cats is that they are relatively easy to look after. It is important that you let cats have their own space. Although exercise isn’t a must with cats, they just need easy and quick access to outside. In terms of pet health, cats generally suffer with hairball problems the most. Avoid milk as many are lactose intolerant and cats find it hard to digest. Cats can also suffer with constipation because dry food is quite difficult to swallow, so add some water to the dinner if needs be.

It is easy to see that cats are generally easy to care for. In comparison to dogs though, cats are not as willing to show affection which can be a bit of a problem if you’re looking for something loving and loyal. Some people suffer with cat allergies too, caused by the saliva, so check your family aren’t allergic before getting a cat.

The Dog - Man’s Best Friend

People love their dogs and the majority of people in the UK choose dogs over cats. Although low maintenance in terms of pet health care, dogs have long been considered the faithful companion that owners need in their lives. If you have children then dogs can be very protective and they will look out for them. As pet health is so crucial with dogs, you need to make sure the dog doesn’t get overweight and also gets enough exercise. When it comes to feeding, stick to dry foods with proteins in.

As well as the basics mentioned above, you need to factor grooming in to your pet health routine. If buying a dog, do not feed it chocolate since this is very dangerous.
