This also serves as bonding time and brings you closer to your pet. Bathe your pet once every few weeks. Cats need to be taken to the local vet for a bath. Dogs need to have their nails cut every two months. Cats can be destructive and therefore it may be necessary to de-claw them. Your pet needs regular checks to ensure that he is healthy. Since they cannot talk, it is best to take them to the experts to check on their health. Play outdoor games with your dog. Cats enjoy toys even though they can sometimes be choosy and may not like the toy you have bought. You need to spend as much time as possible with your pet to show your love. You may give them special treats as well and you will always be rewarded with lots of love. [10 ÷ 2 = 5]
