You have had a love of animals for a long time, but you haven’t had any pets of your own in a while. A friend has asked you to look after her pet while she is out of town for a few days. What should you know about doing so?

Every pet is different, so it’s important that you get specific instructions for caring for the animal in question. Even if you have cared for a pet like this before, this individual animal may need care that is a bit different. It’s important that you ask any questions you may have prior to your friend leaving, and that you make sure you have all the necessary pet supplies on hand to meet her pet’s needs. You should also make sure you have her contact information as well as her pet’s veterinarian’s information on hand in case you need them. For additional information, please contact your Diamond Bar, CA veterinarian.
