Some practices of pet care have become issues that inspire some lively conversations at the dog parks across the US. When you own an animal, you naturally want your pet to be happy and healthy. In order to do so, responsible pet owners look at life through their pet's eyes and strive to give them the very best.

When you select feeding options for your pet, try to remember what the natural feeding would look like if your pet was still in the wild.

Many animals are community dwellers, meaning that for safety they lived in social groups. If possible, try and have a companion for your pet that will allow them to bond and attach to another member of its species.

Some accessories that are available for your pet may seem over the top or frivolous, but many have a practical purpose or can be helpful in providing the best for your pet. Often, television situation comedies provide a skewed view of life in order to get the laugh track going. While either can be seen as a comedy gag, there are many who choose to push their dog or cat in a stroller designed for pets for protection from crowds on busy city streets or because of the pet's health limitations.

Whether you consider yourself a pet owner, you goal is likely the same- giving your pet the best life possible.
