Or how about leave your dog at home. Would you leave your kid locked up in a car while you shopped? There is no excuse for theft, but there also is no excuse for leaving your dog locked in a car while ou shop.

	Common cat problems There are certain behavioral and medical problems associated primarily with cats. Included among these are house soiling, destructive scratching, and hair balls.
	Training of young pets To be most effective, the training process should begin as early as possible in your pet's life. You do not have to be a professional to train a pet, but you do need commitment and consistency.
	Administering medication to cats Many cats are a lot like children. They're lively, playful, and absolutely hate to take medicine. There are several ways to get around this. Sometimes medication can be hidden inside food, but if it's bad-tasting, your cat might simply refuse to eat it.
	Weight problems in pets Obesity is a common nutritional problem for dogs and cats, especially for females and older breeds. Overweight pets are often fed too much and lack adequate exercise.
