Know your pet’s breed and needs

• Not all pets are the same. Depending on the breed, size, and age, pets, especially dogs, can require different levels of attention, exercise, and social interaction. While cats are more independent than dogs, they also need plenty of space to roam and places to perch.
• Learning how to properly accommodate your pet’s needs can prevent anxiety, aggression, and destructive behavior.

Exercise and socialize! 

• For dog owners, providing your pet dedicated time to exercise with a mid-day or after-work walk can benefit your pup both mentally and physically, especially if they are left home alone while you are at work or enjoying the many restaurants and businesses in the Green Hills neighborhood.
• A visit to Vertis’ turf-lined dog park can create opportunities for dogs to interact with their neighbors, which can possibly help sensitive pups become more social.
• To keep cats stimulated, owners will want to keep plenty of interactive toys at hand and place designated scratching posts in their homes.

Routine, routine, routine

• Set a schedule for when your dog or cat will eat, when you will be home, and when they will get a walk or potty break to help prevent accidents or unusual and unruly behaviors.
