For dogs: Brush your dog every day until his fur is nice and soft. Tell him you love him regularly. Take him for walks, give him baths, make sure he likes his food, etc. If he
… seems unhappy, talk to him and see if you can find out why. I know that it's a one-way conversation, but animals can understand more than you think. You can also send him to a doggy spa once a month. For cats: Brush your cat every day, and cuddle with them. They are very cuddly pets. Also, some catnip wouldn't hurt. A teaspoon of catnip each day is actually pretty healthy for your kitty. Make sure that it's water is clean and fresh, and that it likes the food that your feeding it. If you feed your kitty dry food, some wet food once a week is nice. If you feed your kitty wet food, then just keep it that way. Make sure that your kitty's litterbox is ALWAYS clean and give it privacy when it's "doing business". For rabbits: Be sure that your bunny has a big enough cage for it to hop around. If it's an outdoor bunny, that make sure that predators cannot get to it. If it's indoor, make sure that you clean its cage regularly so that it doesn't stink. You should give your bunny 2-5 hours of "running around" time each day, and they love it when you give them a small salad in the morning. Make sure that your bunny has plenty and toys to throw around and chew on. For fish: Make sure that your fish has a big tank and lots of places to hide. Clean the water in the tank each week and feed your fish every day. Fish may seem like boring pets, but talk to your fish each day--you may find that something interesting will happen. For geckos/lizards: Make sure that you have a large cage/tank for your gecko and that there are plenty of crickets running around. Your gecko always needs cold water to drink and sit in, and a heating lamp. They also like rock and coconut houses to hide and sleep in. The floor of your cage should be covered in sand or wood shavings--it's very comfortable for your gecko's feet. And there should be lots of artificial leaves in there as well. Gecko's also enjoy colorful stones. Hope this helps! ~Alsk5067 (MORE)
