To understand whether a pet lives well at home, you need to assess the observance of its rights and freedoms, as they say in society.

In fact, these are the most important and at the same time minimal conditions that a person is obliged to provide to a cat or dog after taking it to live in his house or apartment.

As an average model, experts cite the following points.

1. Food and water

The animal must have constant access to a source of moisture. If a certain feeding schedule must be followed, there should be no restrictions on access to water.

2. Veterinary care

It is necessary to contact a specialist in case of illness or wounds, and at the same time remember the vaccination schedule and treatment against parasites. The type of fur, smell, activity, etc. may indicate that the animal is not feeling well.

3. Stress and fear

Pets should not be intimidated for the purpose of education or punishment. They get bored if the owner is not at home. The only exceptions are aquarium fish and reptiles.

4. Comfort

In an apartment or on the street, the animal should have a place to rest and eat. At the same time, weather conditions must be taken into account.

5. Habitat

If dogs living on the street feel more or less comfortable, then domestic dogs need mandatory walking, and during the walk they need to be given the opportunity to “communicate” with their own kind.

All these rules need to be taken into account before the animal moves into your home.
