The 7 Fit Bottomed Rules of Pet Ownership

Dogs are people too! Or so they try to tell you. This is mine wanting to join me at work.

As you can see this week, the FBG team is slightly obsessed with our pets. It’s one of the reasons we’re celebrating the Fit Bottomed Pets Week. We’re all about keeping ourselves and our families healthy—and that includes our pets, of course! Along with that, we also think it’s super important that pet owners know what they’re getting in to when it comes to pets, which is why today we’re sharing a few Fit Bottomed rules of pet ownership. If you’re even considering getting a dog, read these rules.

7 Rules of Pet Ownership

1. Spay and neuter. Seriously. You’re not going to breed your pets and get rich. So just get your pets fixed. There is no need to contribute to the pet population when so many good dogs need homes.

2. Don’t forget they’re members of the family. Pets are not disposable. When you adopt them into your family, it should be a “warts and all” philosophy. Sometimes literally. My dog had a witchy wart on her chin for a month one time, and we loved her anyway.

3. Look into adoption and rescue. So many animals in shelters need good homes, so get yourself to a shelter to adopt. Or check out the numerous breed rescues that exist if you have a specific breed you’d like.
