Suitable shelter should be provided for animals kept outside. An example would be a dog house for a dog being kept outdoors. Shelter should be in a shaded area during the heat of summer.
Food suitable for the animal and access to fresh, clean, unfrozen water is also required.
Normal and prudent care of pets, including exercise and veterinary care is needed.
Maintain rabies vaccination, administered by a licensed vet, for dogs and cats.
