How Not to Harm While Trying to Help 🧡 🐾

How to Help Animals Without Harming Them 🙏🐾

Good intentions aren’t always enough. Sometimes, the wrong help can make things worse. Let’s talk about how to help animals safely and wisely 🧡

⚠️ Common Mistakes:

• 🍼 Cow’s milk → causes diarrhea, dehydration
• 💊 Human meds → often toxic for animals
• 🍞 Giving bread, sweets → bad digestion, allergies
• 🏠 Taking them home, then abandoning again → trauma
• 🧤 Picking up without checking for disease
• 📸 Posting online without details → no one can act

🟢 How to Help the Right Way:

1. 🤲 Stay Calm and Observe

• Is the animal truly in need?
• Is it injured, starving, or very young?
• Sometimes it’s better to wait and call a rescuer

2. 📞 Ask Experienced People

• Contact a shelter or message TailsPal
• Ask for specific advice
• Don’t be afraid to ask — it shows you care

3. 🐾 Offer Safe Food and Shelter

• Warm water, pet food, safe shelter
• Don’t rush — give space
• Always approach calmly and gently

4. 🩺 No DIY medicine!

• Don’t give meds or do treatment without a vet
• No injections or surgeries on your own

5. 💬 Share Responsibly

• When posting:
  • 📍 location
  • 📷 clear photo
  • 🕐 time
  • 💬 what happened + how to help

🧡 Real kindness means doing no harm.

Compassion + knowledge = real change 🐾
