BarxBuddy is a company that cares about the welfare of animals. BarxBuddy designed its dog training device as a helpful tool that provides a safe and comfortable approach to training. It works without potentially harming the dog, plus it makes the training process more enjoyable for the dog.
But BarxBuddy also knows that it’s essential to help animals of all sorts beyond training them. The company wants to help people learn about the many ways on how to help animals.
You can participate in any of these efforts if you want to find a way to help pets, with many of them being easier than you might expect.
Spay and Neuter Pets
BarxBuddy encourages all pet owners to spay or neuter their pets. The process prevents a pet’s desire to roam and search for a mate.
It also prevents accidental breeding, ensuring the pet population stays under control. Spaying or neutering a pet can also reduce aggressive or rough tendencies in a pet.
Volunteer At a Shelter
Animal shelters and rescues are always looking for volunteers who can help homeless pets. You can help a shelter by cleaning cages, feeding the pets, and spending time with the pets in general. Whether it entails playing with the cats or walking the dogs, you can give the animals there the comfort and attention they need.
You can also support fundraising projects for a shelter if you’re unable to interact with any of the animals. You can plan a fundraising effort to help get the money for food and other items necessary for caring for the animals.
Adopt Pets Instead of Shopping For Them
It is better to adopt a pet than it is to shop for one for many reasons:
- You can reduce the stress on animal shelters when you adopt a pet from one. The effort reduces the need to euthanize excess animals.
- It may cost less to adopt a pet in most cases. Your adoption effort will likely include spay or neuter costs and expenses for the first few vaccinations.
- Some adopted pets may already have some semblance of training. A product like BarxBuddy can still work if the pet has further training needs.
- You won’t support puppy mills or other breeding organizations that may not consider the welfare of the animals. There’s still a strong chance you’ll find a purebred animal at a shelter.
Use Cruelty-Free Fashions and Cosmetics
One problem with the fashion industry is that it often relies on animal-based products. You can find many fashions and accessories that don’t feature leather or fur items on the market, including plant-based items made with hemp or linen.
Be sure you also look for animal-free cosmetic products. You can see the Leaping Bunny logo from the Coalition for Consumer Information on Cosmetics on many products to confirm those items aren’t subject to animal testing. Avoiding such products goes a long way in changing the industry and encouraging an animal-free field.
These are just some of the ways to give back to pets. We hope that you’re inspired to start giving back and make the lives of homeless animals better.
