FAQs About Pets
Q: What is the best way to potty train a puppy?
A: The best way to potty train a puppy is to start with crate training. Put your puppy in their crate for short periods (no more than an hour or two at a time) and take them out frequently to use the restroom. When they have an accident in their crate, clean it up immediately so that they don't associate it with their sleeping area. Be consistent with this process and soon your puppy will be able to hold its bladder for longer periods.
Q: How often should I bathe my dog?
A: The frequency of baths will depend on the
type of dog you have. Dogs with long hair may need to be bathed more often than
dogs with short hair. Generally, a good rule of thumb is to bathe your dog
every two weeks or so. However, if your dog gets dirty more often (for example,
if they like to roll in the mud), you may need to increase the frequency of
baths. Be sure to use a shampoo that is specifically designed for dogs and
avoid getting water in their ears.
Q: How can I keep my cat from scratching furniture?
A: One way to keep your cat from scratching
furniture is to provide them with an alternative scratch surface, such as a
scratching post or cat tree. You can also try spraying the furniture with a
deterrent spray (such as citrus-scented spray) or covering it with double-sided
tape. If all else fails, you may need to keep your cat confined to a room with
no furniture for some time until they learn not to scratch.
Q: I think my pet has fleas. What should I do?
A: If you think your pet has fleas, the first step is to confirm that they do indeed have fleas. Check their fur for small, dark brown insects or look for tiny black specks on their skin (these are flea droppings). If you find fleas on your pet, you will need to treat them with a Flea and Tick treatment. There are many products available for purchase at pet stores or online. Please follow the instructions carefully and reapply if necessary. You will also need to treat your home for fleas, which may involve vacuuming, washing bedding, and spraying insecticides.
