Should You Allow Your Cat To Have Regular Or Free Access Outside?

Keeping your cats indoors or outdoors has its advantages and disadvantages. Instinctively, cats decide whenever and wherever they roam and hunt, and if your cat is an outdoorsy type of feline, you may have a problem keeping them indoors and vice versa.

Keep in mind that letting your cat indoors or outdoors affects its behavior and lifespan. So how would you know if you should let your kitty go out or not? Some believe that letting your cat go outside gives them a much better life. 

If you want your cat to get the best of both worlds, you can train them by putting on a harness to keep them safe. You can also spend time with your cat by bringing her to an animal spa or the park. In addition, it is also best to train them to be entertained and comfortable inside your home by giving them toys, or a scratching post. Surely, it depends on you as a parent to weigh down the pros and cons.

Make sure that your pet’s preventatives and vaccines are up to date before outdoor excursions. Call your animal hospital Tumwater, WA for information. 

Interesting Information About Hanoverian Scenthounds

Hanoverian Scenthounds were bred by Liam Hound gatekeepers in Hanover City (from which they got their name) during the 19th century. They were made to possess the same tracking/hunting abilities as Liam Hounds, their ancestors.

Hanoverians are brindled, with deer-red color (ranging from all shades) as the primary color— some are masked, while others are not. Small patches of white may also be seen on their chest. These short-coated pups can be excellent pets for allergic people— plus, they can be groomed easily, needing only weekly brushing.

These loyal and calm dogs love to be with children, but adult supervision is nevertheless important during playtime. These high-energy dogs need at least one-half to one hour of daily walks, paired with a couple of shorter walks and active plays. Last but not least, these dogs don't naturally appreciate being with other animals, so it's better if they're the only pet at home.

If you have concerns about your pet's health and/or behavior, make an appointment with your animal hospital Tumwater, WA.
