But it is important to keep in mind that pets can carry diseases that can make you sick.Washing your hands often—especially after you touch，feed，or clean up a pet—is the best way to keep yourself healthy and prevent the spread of disease.Be sure to clean your fingernails carefully every time you wash.

　　You also can protect your health by wearing gloves while cleaning animal cages or cat litter boxes.Avoid washing your pet in the bathtub(浴缸)，but if you do，always disinfect(消毒)the tub immediately afterward.

　　Be sure to bring your pet to the hospital for examinations every two weeks or month and whenever your pet is sick or injured.

　　You can do a few other things to keep yourself and your pet healthy.Only give your pet food that has been planned ahead for them.It's not a good idea to share your food with your pet.Human food (like chocolate)can make animals sick.Never feed your pet raw(生的)meat because it can carry germs(细菌)that cause serious illness.

　　And funny as it can be to see your dog or cat drinking from the toilet，don't let pets do this.It's bad for your pet's health！Give them clean，fresh water to drink at all times.

　　Never give milk to cats.The only milk an animal should drink is from its mother.Cow's milk is not for pets，especially for cats，as it makes them sick.

　　Finally，some animals aren't pets.Don't take in a wild or abandoned(被抛弃的)animal as a pet because it may have diseases that could make you or your family sick.Instead，turn to an animal rescue group that is trained in helping sick or abandoned animals.
