Responsible Dog Owners
Your pet and any animal's welfare should be considered in terms of 'five freedoms'.
These freedoms define ideal states rather than standards for acceptable welfare.
Freedom from Hunger and Thirst - by ready access to fresh water and a diet to maintain full health and vigour.
Freedom from Discomfort - by providing an appropriate environment including shelter and a comfortable resting area.
Freedom from Pain, Injury or Disease - by prevention or rapid diagnosis and treatment.
Freedom to Express Normal Behaviour - by providing sufficient space, proper facilities and company of the animal's own kind.
Freedom from Fear and Distress - by ensuring conditions and treatment which avoid mental suffering.
