Child Pet Owning Contract

    

I, {Child's Name}, promise to take good care of my pet. I understand that this means that I have to take care of my pet's physical needs, but that I also need to love it, keep it clean and safe, and treat it with respect. Here are the things I need to remember:

• I will give my pet food and clean water every day.
• I will make sure my pet has a warm and comfortable place to sleep at night.
• I will help my pet stay clean when necessary.
• If my pet needs exercise, I will make sure that it gets a walk or is let out of its cage at least once every day.
• The pet will be taken for a bathroom walk or have its waste cleaned up as needed. {See attached schedule for cleaning up waste}
• I will make sure that my pet has proper ID when it leaves the house.
• I will play with my pet so that it doesn't get lonely.
• I will train my pet so that it doesn't hurt others.

I understand that if I don't take care of my pet, my parents have the right to give the pet to another family. If I do all of the chores listed above, though, my parents will help me by:

• Buying the food/litter/leash/ID
• Paying for shots
• Taking the pet to the vet if it gets sick
• Buying special treats and toys for the pet if I do an extra good job!
