Help Line For Pet Owners

BINGHAM FARMS (WWJ) - Do you have a lot of pet peeves--when it comes to your pet? The Michigan Humane Society is hoping to provide some answers with a new help line.

Spokesman Kevin Hatman says they'll offer help with many common behavioral problems. Hatman expects calls from new pet owners trying to adjust, but having two or more animals share a home can mean some big changes as welll -- for the pets.

"When you have two cats, for example, you don't want to just dump them on top of each other because there'll be some sort of fight for dominance," Hatman said. "There's a lot of things you can do to lessen that behavior and lessen the pets' anxiety level."

Hatman says they don't want pet owners to give up and turn the animals over to the already-burdened Humane Society.

The number to reach the help line is 248-650-0127.
