Knowing the signs of animal abuse is important as well. Animal abuse is physical or emotional. Signs include:

dogs or cats kept outside without shelter in extreme weather conditions not matter the weather conditions: rain, snow, freezing or heat and left directly in sun

tick or flea infestations or with knotted, dirty or mangy fur. Conditions if left untreated by a vet can lead to an animal becoming sick or even death 

Teach your kids to take care of animals and be kind to them. Remind them that fresh daily water and food are important for animals.
