How can we keep our pets safe in case of an emergency like a house fire? |
|
You cannot discipline cats as you would dogs. Use of punishment will only teach your cat to fear you. It is better to train cats into behavior that is alternative or incompatible to the problem behavior. |
|
Pets, like people, are sensitive to factors that may result in unwanted behaviors. Poor training, change in routine or environment, or specific instinctual pet characteristics may be some of the reasons why your pet is misbehaving. |
|
When disaster strikes, pets are just as vulnerable as people. |
|
In a crisis, owners first on the scene with knowledge of first aid can be vital in keeping their pet alive. |
