Thinking of adding a pet to the family:
Having a dog or cat should be a lifelong commitment. Think long and hard before you bring a new pet home. Can you afford vet bills—planned and unplanned? If you like to travel, can you afford to board your pet or hire a pet sitter? Pet ownership is like having a child—you cannot return them, but sadly too many pets are and that needs to change.

How to safely approach a dog:

Learning to read dog body language is important for children and adults. Always ask permission from the owner to pet a dog before approaching. Constant training establishes good, healthy relationships, helps set boundaries and is a key part of keeping dogs and people safe. Talk to children about the proper way to treat dogs.

Managing pet hair on furniture:
Looking for a simple way to pick up some of that dog hair? Use dryer sheets. They pick up loose dog hair on fabric like magic. Just rub a dryer sheet over your couch or wherever else pet hair collects and watch as it clings right to it.
