Today I’m going to share a tip with you about encouraging your feline friend to drink more. It’s very important for cats to drink a sufficient amount of water. If water is flowing, cats are more attracted to drink it. Therefore, those of you that have cat companions may want to purchase a little fountain that runs on a battery, with the water constantly rotating. Your cat will likely drink more, and will also love watching it.

Animal companions during winter
|
|
|
. I’m Clucky the Chicken, and today I would like to share a tip with you on taking care of your beloved animal companions during winter. If you live in a climate where there is snow, or if salt is put on the sidewalks or roads to avoid slipping on ice, please remove the snow and salt from their paws immediately upon coming into the house. A cloth dipped in warm water will be very soothing for them, and then please make sure your sweet animal companion is nice and warm.

Halo everyone, I’m Oinky the Piglet. Today I’m going to share a tip with you about going shopping with young ones. Children are naturally inquisitive, so they may want to touch some of the beautiful items in the store.

I’m M’Caw the Parrot, with a tip that is friendly to the planet. These days, many people are doing their part to help protect the environment and recycle whenever they can. This includes cell phones when they’re no longer in use. In many countries, there are non-profit organizations that recycle the phones, and the funds generated are donated to a charity. So please, find out if there is something similar in your country..

I’m Lionardo the Lion with a tip on how to care for a new puppy. Little puppies need a lot of sleep, so it’s a good idea to leave them to rest whenever they feel tired. You could set up a nice cozy little bed for your puppy, where he or she is all warm and snug. If he’s a short haired puppy, a few blankets will be much appreciated by your sweet canine friend.
