The Ten Commandments of Dog and Cat Ownership

2. Provide a cosy, cool and dry sleeping area.

3. Exercise your dog every day, but keep it on a leash outside your yard.

4. Protect your pet's health. See a veterinarian about vaccinations and the control of worms, fleas and ticks.

5. Have your dog or cat desexed to stop it breeding.

6. Don't let your dog roam.

7. Train your dog to be obedient.

8. Make sure your dog doesn't attack people such as the postman or meter readers.

10. When you go on holidays leave your pet at a reputable boarding kennel or cattery.
