Pets and blood relatives
Written on Tuesday, 27 of October, 2009 at 8:15 pm
It’s funny how we treat out pets like family. We bathe them in soap and water, brush their teeth, blow dry their fur, clothe them and let them play with our children. We feed them high calorie, high fiber food which they obviously don’t need. We even let them sleep in our own bed. Sometimes it’s hard to distinguish pet supplies from “human” supplies now. Come to think of it, do our pets really like how we treat them?
Veterinarians are aware that pets, though domesticated, still need to be treated as animals - meaning giving them the right shelter, proper diet, and adequate exercise. Although most of us see our fat dogs as “cute”, in reality we are clogging their arteries with cholesterol. Let’s face it people, dogs and cats are natural carnivores. They don’t need to be fed with chocolate cakes and ice cream, even though they can’t seem get enough. Our pets deserved to be loved and treated as a member of the family, but not as a blood relatives.
