Children and pets

If your children are keen to help with the care of your pet, it’s important to teach them how to look after them properly. To become a responsible pet owner your child will need to learn about all aspects of pet care, both the pleasant and the not so! The responsibilities of caring for pets also teaches children important life skills. Spending time together will help them to form strong bonds, and they should soon become the best of friends. However, to keep both the pet and child safe and happy, make sure there is always parent supervision.
