Summary
Cats and dogs rely upon us for more than food and shelter. How we treat them has a huge impact on their well-being. It’s vital that caregivers understand dog and cat body language, how to train them and provide for their behavioural needs, and transport them safely. Using appropriate techniques and ensuring that we provide the necessary physical conditions that ensure a cat or dogs’ comfort and safety are a good start. Doing so can help ensure the safety of both you and your pet.
