Looking after a dog or a cat is very rewarding. First, feed your pet regularly. Choose the best food for its age and its size. Plus, don't forget to give it fresh water every day. Secondly, a pet needs exercise. For example, walk your dog several times a day or play often with your cat. Take good care of your dog's fur, especially if it sheds a lot. Finally, take your pet to the vet because its health is important too. With this list of advice, your pet will be happy!

I'll be right with you...
