FAQ
Do I choose a puppy or kitten?
This depends on you. Some people are more fond of kittens than they are puppies.
But, in general, puppies tend to be more active and playful. Kittens usually sleep a lot and are very gentle.
Both breeds of animal require constant attention from their owners. They will quickly grow up and will require lots of care.
They will also need regular medical checkups. You will need to take them to the vet regularly.
What do I do if my dog bites another person?
If you are attacked or threatened by an animal, ensure that it is not rabid. If that is not possible, get help. Do not attempt to handle the situation yourself, as you could become seriously injured.
If the animal does bite but is not aggressive, you should take it to the veterinary clinic. Your vet will inspect it and determine if further treatment is necessary.
In most cases, rabies shots are required. You should never administer them yourself. Only a qualified person should do so.
