[170809] Pets 반려동물

Talk about the increasing trend of having pets in Korea.

The pet owner population in Korea is at around 10 million.

More and more people are raising dogs, cats, or exotic animals in their homes.

To them, pets are no different from family. 

I recently adopted a dog from an animal shelter.

Right away, I took her to the vet for a check-up. 

-> right away 곧바로

The doctor's final diagnosis was that she was very healthy.

He gave her vaccinations for disease like rabies. He also applied heartworm and paracite preventives.

The vet then gave me advice on housebreaking my dog and proper training.

He was very friendly, and said I could call at anytime if anything went wrong with my dog.

I plan to have my dog groomed to look prettier soon.

I hope she will be happy with me for a long time.
