Preventing Abuse By Teaching Children Animal Care California

By Betty Bell


If you are a horse lover, it is indeed one of your main responsibilities to take care of the animal and give him his basic needs as well as some extra loving care. In fact, even before you get a horse, you have to make sure that you can indeed do the responsibility of taking care of them. If you want a healthy and a good-performing horse, then you have to make caring for your horse a priority. If you are looking for the proper ways in Animal Care California, here are a few that you might find useful regarding caring for a horse.

Grooming the horse- One of the basics of caring for your horse is good grooming. Like any other animals, it is indeed important that you keep him clean and comfortable. To help you with this, you need to secure your grooming materials and tools. Just keep in mind that before you start grooming the horse, you need to tie him correctly in a safe place.

However, before you groan at the prospect of vet bills and chewed-up slippers, think of all the things that our children can learn from taking care of pets. Being patiently taught how to care for a pet can foster the kind of empathy and responsibility in a child that can prevent pet abuse from happening in the future.

Deworming the horse- One of the most important things that you should not forget in keeping your horse healthy is deworming them. Once in six weeks can be a good schedule to deworm and make sure to consult a veterinarian to ensure that you are using the right de-wormer for your horse.

Though all animals have similar reactions to emotional situations, they are most easily noticed in dogs. Dogs are perhaps, the most loyal and loving creatures on earth. They want nothing more than to be close to you and though they do not insist on it as a prerequisite to showing their love for you, they only want your love and affection in return.

Make it clear that the less pleasant duties will be shared by all. Yes, this means housebreaking duties. Small kittens still need to learn about the litter box, and puppies are notoriously prone to accidents. If a child isn't willing to do the icky stuff like clean the litter box and pick up the accidents, they are not doing their duty by their pet. Remind them that they wore diapers when they were little, but animals don't get to do that.

Caring for the horse also mean providing him with the right bedding. You should not let them stand the entire day. Of course, it will also need some rest. Putting straw on the barn or his stable is one thing you can do to provide him with some bedding for them to lie down.

Young ones need to chew while teething just like human children. This need continues for years. The same is true for the exercising of their muscles, claws and voices. If you take an animal as a pet and all you want is something cuddly, soft and warm to be near you when YOU want it there, then buy a stuffed animal.
