Living Healthy with Pets
- After touching or playing with your pet, remember to
wash your hands and face.
- Pets should have their own feeding and drinking bowls.
Wash these separately from the family utensils.
- Do not allow your pet to eat your food and keep your
pet away from your plates and utensils.
- Pets should not be allowed to walk on top of kitchen
tables and counters.
- Bath and groom your pets regularly to ensure they are
kept clean and tidy. Grooming or brushing helps to remove loose hair
or fur and enables you to check for any skin problems or parasites.
- Clean and wash pet's cage and sleeping area including
their toys. For small pets like hamsters, change bedding regularly.
- Clean up pet droppings from litter boxes and the compound
daily. Pooper scoopers and deodorisers are available from pet shops
for this purpose.
- Never feed your cat uncooked meat or fish.
- Visit the vet for regular deworming and annual check-ups
to keep pets healthy and free from parasites.
