Responsible Pet Owners Month

bearded dragon lizards

February is responsible Pet Owners Month. But what does that mean exactly. Listen HERE to my conversation with Dr. Nancy Soares, incoming president of the American Animal Hospital Association from my national Steve Dale’s Pet World radio show.

We chat about choosing the right pet for your family, and talking about the idea about having that discussion with a veterinary technician.

So, who’s best for a parakeet (budgie) or bearded dragon lizard….Ok, a lizard isn’t right for all families. However, you might be too busy for a puppy.

And now, where do you get that pet from?

Chatting with a neutral professional can be hugely helpful.

By the way, for the first time out as a starter pet Soares likes the idea of a Guinea pig, chinchilla or pet rat.
