Give your pet the best care with our experienced veterinary team. From routine check-ups to advanced treatments, we’re here for every stage of their life.
Caring for an animal companion can improve our mental and physical health. As one-of-a-kind friends, they provide us with unconditional love and keep us company when we’re sick, home alone, or feeling down.
While it’s every pet’s dream to love, support, and cherish their humans, it is your responsibility to research and understand the needs of your animal companion. It is important to learn what you can before bringing an animal home, either by reading science-based literature about your chosen species or breed, or by consulting a veterinarian or animal health professional.
It’s important to understand that caring for a pet is a lifelong commitment. Depending on your animal companion’s breed, lifestyle, and health, you’ll enjoy the company of your pet for more than 20 years – dogs and cats, for example, can live for 10-20 years, while birds can live for up to 80 years! That’s why it’s important to consider not only the needs of your animal companion, but also your lifestyle and capacity to be responsible for a pet.
Whether you’re seeking animal advice or looking to support animals in need, RSPCA NSW is here to help. If you believe you’re ready to adopt or foster an adorable animal companion of your own, consider adopting your forever friend at one of our shelters and adoption centres.
Providing our pets with engaging mental and emotional experiences is just as important as maintaining their physical health. Understanding the five domains of animal welfare involves considering physical and functional influences on the mental state and welfare status of our animal companions.
From food, collars, and bedding to any initial adoption fees, new pet parents usually incur a long list of expenses. Though the overall cost of an animal’s care may vary between animal types and breeds, it’s always important to consider the lifetime cost of caring for a pet before deciding to take home an animal companion of your own.
From house fires, droughts, and storms to fireworks and toxic plants, it’s important to take the necessary steps to create a safe, comfortable space for you and your animal companion to live in. RSPCA NSW is committed to guiding and supporting individuals looking to keep their pets safe from hazardous, stressful, and uncomfortable situations.
Caring for a dog or puppy can be a huge responsibility, as dogs require a balanced diet, exercise, training, and veterinary care to live a healthy and happy life. Thankfully, we’ve got so much to share when it comes to caring for a dog or puppy, from bathing and grooming, nutrition, housing, identification, training, and more.
While looking after a cat or kitten can be an incredibly rewarding experience, it’s important to understand their needs and acknowledge your ability to care for them as pets. RSPCA NSW is here to help you nurture and safeguard your cat, covering everything from nutrition and enrichment to bedding and housing, grooming, and more.
