Pets and their Behaviour

A pet is an animal kept primarily for a person's company or protection. Once a pet animal comes into the house or life of a human it becomes one of the best companion to him. Pets also give much refreshment and relaxation to humans as if a baby gives relaxation. Every pet owner feels his/her pet as their baby and enjoy their life with it. The most popular pets are noted for their attractive appearances and their loyal or playful personalities.
Pets commonly provide their owners (or guardians) physical and emotional benefits. Walking a dog can supply both the human and pet with exercise, fresh air, and social interaction. There is a medically approved class of therapy animals, mostly dogs that are brought to visit confined humans. Pet therapy utilizes trained animals and handlers to achieve specific physical, social, cognitive, and emotional goals with patients.
The most popular pets are likely dogs and cats, but people also keep house rabbits; rodents such as gerbils, hamsters, chinchillas, fancy rats, and guinea pigs; avian pets, such as canaries, parakeets, and parrots; reptile pets, such as turtles, lizards and snakes; aquatic pets, such as tropical fish and frogs; and arthropod pets, such as tarantulas and hermit crabs.

 If your pet got cut and scrape, wipe the area twice a day with hydrogen peroxide and it should be fine.
 If your pet continuous or oozing stream, this requires medical attention as soon as possible. Raise the injured body part above your animal's heart if possible and apply layers of bandages. Press down on the area to slow the blood flow.
