Thank you all for your support over weeks and months to the Malaysian Animal-Assisted Therapy for the Disabled and Elderly Association - better known to many as PETPOSITIVE.
We cherish the support you have given us. Whether you are big organisations like the Welfare Department, CIMB Foundation, Citibank Malaysia, MidValley Megamall, Cititel & Boulevard Hotels, IKEA, others or individual funders.
WE LOVE YOU ALL. We look for your continued support to our cause of bringing animal-assisted therapy to disabled and elderly Malaysians throughout the nation.
Our services to our clients are made free-of-charge through YOUR SUPPORT.
As you head back home to your loved ones, we would like to remind you to think of your beloved pets.
Here are some guidelines which we hope will be helpful to you during this most auspicious occasion:
- Wherever possible, take your pet with you.
- If you can't take your pet with you, board your furkid in a trusted veterinary clinic or breeder.
- If you have asked a friend to feed your pet whilst you are away, try to get him or her to live in your house during your absence. This will ensure that your pet is more settled without you around. Your pet will also less likely become a nuisance to your neighbours by barking out of loneliness.
- Make it a point to ring back regularly to the boarding home, vet or your friends entrusted to look after your dogs to make sure that everything is going on well with your pet. Quite a few owners have suffered badly when they came back to find pets dead even in veterinary clinics.
- Make a special effort to keep your dogs inside the house at night or chained during fireworks displays. Many canines are terrified by the sound and often run away and get lost during festive holidays.
- Avoid adopting a pet during the holidays. Even homeless pets from shelters. Owning a pet is a heavy and lifetime responsibility. Such decisions should never be made at the spur of the moment.
- Finally, if all these suggestions sound too much trouble in owning a pet, think twice again next time about owning a pet if you are thinking about owning a new one.
