Pet owners are encouraged to be responsible for animals and ensure that the welfare needs of their animals are met. The vast majority of pet owners take proper care of their animals. The duty of care also means that people will need to ensure that their animals are given an adequate and appropriate diet.

If you are responsible for the care of an animal you must provide for its basic needs. These needs include:

• A suitable environment and accommodation. This would include providing adequate room for the animal, fresh bedding changed or cleaned at appropriate intervals and, where necessary, shelter from the weather.
• A suitable diet, which should be adequate to keep your pet healthy throughout its life. Overfeeding certain kinds of animals can lead to serious health problems which can be just as bad for animals as giving them too little to eat.
• The ability to allow your pet to exhibit normal behaviour and to interact with other animals where appropriate. This need could be met by providing sufficient space or things which the animal can play with. Some animals are happier when in the company of the animal's own kind, others are perfectly happy with human company.
• To be protected from suffering, pain, injury and disease. Animals should be protected from fear and distress by providing conditions which avoid mental suffering. If you have a sick or injured animal it must be given appropriate treatment and, where necessary, you should take it to a vet.
