How to Feed Stray Animals the Right Way 🍽
Feeding strays is not just an act of kindness — it’s a responsibility. Done right, it helps. Done wrong — it can harm.
Let’s learn how to feed with care and respect 🧡
✅ Do's:
🥣 1. Use clean, safe dishes
- No rusty cans or plastic bags
- Best options: metal, ceramic, or clean disposable bowls
💧 2. Always provide water
- Even if no food — water is essential, especially in summer
- Change it regularly
🍗 3. Offer appropriate food
- Dry or wet dog/cat food
- Boiled meat, rice, buckwheat (no spices!)
🧹 4. Clean up after feeding
- Leftovers attract bugs and mess
- Keep the area respectful
📍 5. Choose a quiet, safe spot
- Near a wall, behind bushes, under a tree
- Avoid roads and crowded spaces
🚫 Don'ts:
- ❌ No bones (especially chicken!)
- ❌ No sweets, salty or spicy food
- ❌ No food on pavement or dirt
- ❌ Don’t grab or scare the animals
- ❌ Don’t create a mess
