She also likes to hold the leash a lot when we go for a walk and give her treats/make her do tricks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-kids-help-care-for-the-family-pets#post-2489578 Thu, 10 Mar 2016 08:34:52 +0000 milano14 2489578@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a golden retriever.

My 3 year old does like to feed them, but she does it more randomly, for fun. She also gives them cat treats when they beg for them as well. I can't wait until she's older and she can help with the litter box ;) </p>
