Dogs and Fish By Rick Preston
The day had come when I had to clean my fish tank. So first I got a big bucket out, then I got something that cleans the water. The bucket kept getting filled, so I had to keep emptying it and refilling it. After that I had to put clean water back in the fish tank, and then I was done cleaning the tank. The whole process took about thirty minutes. I interviewed Caroline, who lives in my building on the Upper East Side. She said that taking care of a dog can be hard, but she thinks that having a dog is definitely worth it. To her and many other people, having a dog is like having another family member.
Dog walking You have to walk a dog 2-3 times a dayfor about 30 minutes each time you take a walk. If the dog is a puppy you should walk it 5-6 times a day. A dog needs to get out and exercise like a human.
Water bowl You should give your dog water after every walk you take. So you should give a dog water about three times a day. It is important for a dog to get water after a walk.
Dog food This is a treat for a dog You feed a dog 2-3 times a day not including treats. You should feed it once in the morning, once at night, and possibly once in the afternoon. The food should be a mix of dry food and meat.
Fishtank heater Fish are much easier to take care of than dogs, but you still need to do things to keep them alive. A fish tank heater is very important to a fish tank. In order for the fish to live, they have to be in a certain temperature water. It should be that temperature in the tank at all times.
Fish tank filter A fish tank filter cleans the water in the tank. It doesn’t clean the whole fish tank though. You have to change a filter about every two weeks.
Fish food You need to feed fish 1-2 times a day. You should only feed them a little fish flakes each time. If you feed them a lot they won’t eat it all and then the tank will get dirty.
