"Helping
you to be your dog's best friend!"
Dog's Bill of Rights
The Dog's Bill of
Rights
1.) We have the right to be full members of your family.
We thrive on social interaction, praise and love.
2.) We have the right to stimulation. We need new games,
new toys, new experiences, and new smells to be happy.
3.) We have the right to regular exercise. Without it, we
could become hyper, sluggish, cranky or fat.
4.) We have the right to have fun. We enjoy acting like clowns
now and then; don't expect us to be predictable all the time.
5.) We have the right to quality health care. Please stay
good friends with our vet. We can't talk, so we rely on you to take
care of us.
6.) We have the right to a good diet. We don't know what's
best for us. We depend on you to give us healthy whole foods like
chicken, fruits, and vegetables; not processed food that has chemicals
in it.
7.) We have the right not to be rejected because of your
expectations that we be great show dogs, watchdogs, hunters or obedience
champions.
8.) We have the right to receive proper human and positive
training. Otherwise, our good relationship could be marred by confusion
and strife - and we could become dangerous to ourselves and others.
9.) We have the right to guidance and redirection based on
understanding and compassion, rather than abuse.
10.) We have the right to live with dignity … and to die
with dignity when the time comes.
