PAGE S3 . PLA1NDEALER - WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 2ft, 1W0 Don't buy a dog foi4 Christmas! :::• , o - : MAKE THIS YEAR'S CHRISTMAS extra special by letting your children discover a Docktor Pet Center puppy (or two!) under the Christmas tree. Docktor Pet Centers, the nation's largest chain of franchise pet department stores, offers a wide variety of animals including hamsters, gerbils, cats, fish and birds that make super gifts, too. Don't buy a dog for Christ­ mas, that is, unless you are pre­ pared to give that special person on your list a lifelong friend. "Pets, especially dogs, are an ideal gift because they can be loved and give love in return," says Leslie Charm, president of Docktor Pet Centers, the na­ tion's largest chain of franchise pet department stores. "For a child," Charm says, "a puppy can be a unique and lasting gift. A parent can go to a store and buy almost any toy a child will eventually break or outgrow. But a dog grows with the child, providing not only a loving gift, but a learning ex­ perience as well. "Dogs teach children respon­ sibility as well as providing companionship," Charm adds. "And they also help teach the biology of life." But, dogs require a lot of care and attention. Its new owner will be responsible for the pup­ py's nutrition, exercise, health, grooming and general happi­ ness. It is important to ask the right questions before buying a dog. How large will the puppy grow to be? Will it tolerate playful children? What health products should the owner buy to assure I the dog's well-being? The pet sales counselors at any of the ISO Docktor Pet Cen­ ters found in shopping malls across the country will be happy to answer all the questions you'll have abput raising your new pet. For the person who can't have a dog or who already has one. an aquarium makes an ideal Christmas gift. A wide variety of fresh and salt-water fish available at Docktor Pet Centers will provide the many beautiful colors, movements and shapes that make aquariums such a fas­ cinating hobby. Beautiful swordtails provide a splash of rich orange while Zijjra fish swim in playful t schools. A saltwater aquarium can feature many of the mys-' teries of of the sea including brilliant fish and oddities such as seahorses and electric eels For the children on your list, small animals such as hamster*. , gerbils and guinea pigs come with their own compact housing t structures and all the contents that make setting up their habitat a bieeze.
