Tips and Tricks for Animal Welfare

• Spay and neuter your pets: This simple procedure prevents unwanted litters and reduces overpopulation.
• Keep your pets indoors: Outdoor cats and dogs are more vulnerable to accidents, disease, and predation.
• Provide plenty of exercise and enrichment: Physical and mental stimulation keeps animals healthy and happy.
• Supervise your pets around children: Teach children how to interact with animals safely.
