    PICK THE RIGHT PET!

    • Do your homework before getting a new pet.

    • Some pets aren’t safe for kids under 5, older adults, people with weakened immune systems, or pregnant women.

    KEEP IT CLEAN

    • Wash hands after touching, feeding, or caring for your pets.

    • Scoop the poop: clean up after pets in your house, yard, and in public places

    PLAY SAFELY!

    •Don’t kiss your pets or let them lick your face.

    • Take care to avoid bites and scratches.

    • Always supervise young children around pets.

    TAKE YOUR PET TO THE VET!
