In Canada, it's common to see dogs, cats or horses in almost every family as beloved pets. Canadian people love these pets and treat them as good friends. Before Canadian people keep them at their houses, they take them to animal hospitals for vaccinations（疫苗接种）to prevent disease.
Although animal food is available in nearly every store, there are also special animal food shops. Some Canadians even spend around two hundred Canadian dollars each month just on food for their pets.
When you visit Canadian people's homes, they would be very glad to show you their animals. You will also notice that almost every family has a bird feeder in their garden. All kinds of birds are welcomed to come and have a good meal. They are free to come and go and nobody can kill any animals in Canada. They have a law against killing wild animals.
