Make sure your pet gets enough exercise. Exercise can help your pet lose weight. Exercise keeps him fit and healthy.
After your pet eats, make sure you wash the dishes. This will prevent your pet from inhaling harmful bacteria.

How To
How to teach your cat how to use the litter box
Although litter boxes can be great for reducing pet waste, they are not always a good choice for cats. They are often too small or just plain wrong for cats to be comfortable in. Cats may end up spreading the litter all over the floor and then leaving it.
These are some of the things you should remember to ensure that your cat learns how to use the litter box.
-
Make sure the box has enough space for your cat to comfortably stand up straight inside without having to crouch down.
-
Try to place it where your cat likes to go outside - if that doesn't happen naturally, try putting it near another room with a door leading outside.
-
Your cat should have access to water at all times, even if it's not possible. It will make him less anxious about using the box.
-
Avoid making loud or sudden movements when you first introduce the cat to the box, especially if your cat has been outside for a while.
-
Once he's comfortable with the idea of the box, praise him for correctly using it. You may even consider giving him treats, but only after he has completed his business.
-
Do not force your cat to use the box. If he refuses, ignore him and let him go until he changes his mind.
-
Be patient! Be patient! It may take several weeks for your cat to start using the box on a regular basis.
-
You should contact your veterinarian immediately if you observe any changes in your cat’s behavior such as aggression towards other people or animals. This could be a sign of a serious condition such as a kidney disease or infection in the urinary tract.
-
Remember to clean up after your cat every day, including around the box.
