Pets are truly the members of the family. People
generally think of keeping dogs and puppies as their pet. This is
because they are easily available and are believed to be faithful
and hence provide safety and security. Cats are usually not preferred
as it is believed to bring bad luck. Rabbits are avoided to be kept
as pets. The reason being the rabbits breed faster and require frequent
changes in the cages they are kept. However, besides this they do
not require any further looking after and are healthy and do not suffer
from many ailments. The other animal kept as pet is guinea pig.
It is easy to tame and control it. They are easy
to maintain. But they prefer cooler climates and need a lot of space
to exercise. Fresh vegetables, pellets and water are required to feed
them. Birds are also kept as pets. They require a cage and proper
bird food. Just as weather affects humans, weather also affects pet
animals. The difference is only that the humans can take needful actions
with the changing weather, but the pets animals can’t. They
are dependent on the pet owners to do so.
Therefore, it becomes very important to take
special care of pets as per the changing weather. Different animals
have different requirements for different weathers. For example, it
sometimes becomes necessary to shave off some of your pets hair during
summer. The hair retains too much heat. But at the same time some
hair is beneficial to provide protection from the heat of the sun.
The pets cannot speak but they express their needs through panting,
staring expression at you, not obeying commands, rapid heart beat,
dry skin. The temperature inside the pet shelter should be properly
maintained.
