First of all, it’s very important that they have access to an abundance of clean water and are given the appropriate amount of food daily. It is also important to appropriately exercise them (larger dogs require more exercise than smaller dogs) and socialize with them so they are emotionally stimulated (happy and healthy). With my dogs at home, their water dishes are cleaned and replaced with fresh water daily. My cat free feeds on his kibble so I make sure that is filled daily, but my dog gets a specific amount morning and afternoon because he tends to overeat if allowed. We walk our dog daily and are working on training our cat to enjoy walking outside in a harness. We also make sure to incorporate some sort of playtime everyday, whether that be playing with a squeaky ball in my dog’s case or playing with a toy tiger in my cat’s case. I believe that by doing these tasks daily, I ensure the animals safety and fun, which is important for their wellbeing. It is important to complete these tasks in coordination with what you and your pet desire. As you know your own pet better than me, I am very receptive to the kind of care and tasks that you would prefer. I have experience building trust with the animals I work with, and I can adjust my approach to build trust depending on your pet’s behavior. Some pets may require more patience and delicate care to gain trust. I do also have experience administering oral and intramuscular medication to animals throughout my jobs in zoological institutions. However if your animal would require this from me, I would love to discuss their comfortability with receiving these medications to ensure that we are both safe during the process.
