UK law (the Animal Welfare Act 2006) says every pet owner must meet these five needs. Know them before you commit.
A suitable place to live — the right size, warmth, shelter and space to behave naturally.
The correct food and fresh water for that species — not just “pet food.”
The freedom to behave normally — to run, dig, climb, forage or hide as their species needs.
The right company — some animals must live in pairs or groups; others must live alone.
Protection from pain, injury and disease — including vet care, parasite control and a healthy weight.
