Just because you are dealing with a disability does not mean you can’t have a dog in your life. In fact, caring for dogs studies indicate doing so will benefit you and the dog. There are some things you can do to make the experience easier.

If you need help on how to bathe a dog or giving your dog medicine, fluids, or shots, ask your veterinarian if he or she knows of anyone who will make home visits. If not, contact local pet-sitters to find ones who will assist you. Many pet-sitters are trained to perform these functions for the sick pet for owners who cannot perform them for themselves or for owners when they are away.

To play with your dog, use flashlights or laser pointers. Dogs love chasing the light, and you won’t have to make a move. An alternative is a remote control car for him to chase. He gets exercise and you do not get over-exhausted.

If you have difficulty performing basic functions for yourself, investigate the use of a service or assistance dog. Assistance dogs are trained to help people with physical limitations perform their everyday functions. Assistance dogs are accepted in public places just as guide dogs and hearing dogs are.

Divide large bags of food into smaller containers to help with lifting and filling dishes. If you get large dishes, you will spend less time and energy filling them. There are dog food stands that raise the bowls above floor so you won’t have to bend as much when you fill them.

Walking a dog when you are disabled can be difficult. Consider hiring a neighborhood teen to do this or have a pet sitter come in and walk your dog each day. Fenced-in yards are another alternative to consider.

Having a disability doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy the companionship of a dog. It takes just a little adjusting for you both to be happy.

Many of the most popular pet gifts are basically variations of squeaky toys. Squeaky mice are especially popular cat toys. Personally, I don’t think cats care whether a rubber squeaky toy is a mouse, a rat, or a lion. All that matters is that it is a small critter that squeaks when the cat pounces on it. Cat toys can actually provide a useful function as well as being fun. When you have to take care of your cat, it can be nice to keep distracted. With the right cat grooming supplies, you can clean out old matted fur very quickly. Nonetheless, if the cat has something to mess with and chew on while you are grooming it, it makes things easier for both of you.
