You love animals, and you know a child in your life who gets just as excited to interact with them as you do. How can you teach her about the responsibilities of caring for a pet?

You will first need to take the time to think about the child in question and evaluate their maturity level. What you are teaching a young child will likely be very different than what you are sharing with a teenager. Consider what the child can handle for care, and make sure you offer her reasons why the care you mention is necessary. Role play care scenarios if necessary, and make sure you offer appropriate supervision when the two are interacting with one another. Be sure to answer any questions that are asked, and that you clarify anything that may seem confusing. Your local licensed Aurora CO vets can help you offer your pet a wonderful place to call home.
