caring for pets

I absolutely love my pet cat, Racer. I hadn’t wanted a pet at first but she adopted me as soon as she walked into the house and quickly won me over with her quirky personality. But my family also loves to travel and that can be a challenge for a pet owner. Some families prefer to take their pets with them when travelling. Others find leaving the pet at home to be more manageable. But if you’re travelling this March Break, PetSafe Canada has products to help make your life easier, whether you’re bringing your furry companion with you or making her comfortable in the house during your absence.

Spend some quality time with your cat to make them feel at ease and part of the family with these three great tips!
