Or which type of pet to adopt? And how do you guide your kids in learning about pet care? These are all key questions to consider when it comes to raising the next generation of responsible pet owners.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s also important to remember that, regardless of your child\u2019s age, any pet you adopt is a family pet, and not just your child\u2019s pet. Just as it takes a village to raise a child, it takes a family to raise a pet. Never leave your pet\u2019s life dependant on the actions (or inactions) of your child after all kids and pets go hand in hand.<!--more--><\/p>\n<h3>Kids and Pets, A Lifetime of Love<\/h3>\n<p>Regardless of your child\u2019s age, there are a number of ways your child can help care for your pet. Here are some general guidelines as to how:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><strong>Toddlers<\/strong> \u00a0\u2013 Toddlers can help parents and siblings with simple chores, such as brushing, walking, and learning the proper way to give your pet a daily treat. Learning about gentle touching and giving an animal his or her space is key at this age.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><strong>Young Children<\/strong> \u20133-5 year olds are beginning to learn about compassion and empathy and are probably more capable of \u201cgentle touch\u201d than toddlers. With the help of an adult, younger kids can be involved in basic pet care such as filling water and food containers, gentle brushing, and feeding daily treats.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><strong>Older Children<\/strong> \u00a0\u2013 Kids ages 5-10 can be given a much wider range of responsibilities such as feeding and watering, cleaning cages with adult help, exercising\/playing with dogs and cats, and assisting parents in advanced grooming tasks such as nail clipping and teeth brushing as well as helping to clean up dog and cat waste.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><strong>Teenagers<\/strong> \u2013 Responsible teens can take on the majority of pet care duties from walking dogs to cleaning cages\/litter boxes to brushing teeth and other grooming tasks with little to no supervision. Many teenagers enjoy learning about pet behavior and can be encouraged to work with pets on learning new commands, agility training, etc.<\/p>\n<h3>Last, But Not Least&#8230;<\/h3>\n<p>Our kids learn by watching us! Modeling responsible, compassionate, respectful pet ownership will help cultivate a lifetime love of animals for your children and the generations to come.<\/p>\n<p>Your team at Summeridge Animal Clinic cares about the two- and four-legged members of your family, and we\u2019re here to support you and your children on your journey toward pet ownership.
