Pediatrician Gulnara Ilyasova gave important advice to families with pets.
Children growing up with animals develop stronger empathy, but hygiene rules must be strictly followed.
The doctor noted: "After touching the animal, cleaning food bowls, wash hands for at least 20 seconds."
Parasites can transfer to children, causing intestinal problems. Vaccinations must be timely.
If a pregnant woman is in the home, another family member should clean the cat litter.
With proper care and hygiene, having a pet is safe for children.
