• • <br />THE POT-BELLIED PET PIG <br />• <br />INTELLIGENT <br />These charming little pigg~'es are <br />extremely gentle and intelligent; in fact, <br />they rank close to the chimpanzee and <br />dolphin. Imagine what a challenge and <br />fun that can be!! <br />CLEAN <br />Despite the pigs sloppy reputation, they <br />are, in fact squeaky-clean and prefer a tidy <br />litter box or can be trained to go outside <br />to the same spot. <br />HEALTHY <br />They are extremely healthy with an <br />ex ected life span of approximately <br />l~years... this will not be a short term <br />relationship! <br />NON ALLERGENIC <br />'ttle .piggies are a perfect choice for <br />anyone with animal fur allergies since <br />they have bristles, not fur. <br />UNIQUE <br />Their personality is unique, different <br />from cats and dogs yet they give the <br />same loving companionship as other <br />domestic pets. <br />EASY TO TRAIN <br />They can be trained to walk on a <br />leash, swim and do tricks. They love <br />to go for car rides or just lay around, <br />cuddle and watch TV. Pet pigs learn <br />their names quickly and can be trained <br />to come when called. So training pet <br />pigs is only limited to your patience <br />and imagination. <br />• <br />GREAT DISPOSITION <br />Their gentle personality allows them to <br />get along very well with other house pets <br />and children. Their dispositions, when <br />properly handled, stay pleasant <br />throughout their life span. <br />NO ODOR <br />Spayed females and neutered males <br />(barrows) have no odor and make the <br />best house pets. <br />INEXPENSIVE DIET <br />Their diet consists of pet pig pellets, fresh <br />vegetables and fruit. Cost of pellets <br />averages between $50 & $75 per year. <br />REGISTERED PEDIGREE <br />Miniature Pot-bellied Pet Pigs have <br />standards, just like dogs. They may stand <br />as high as 18" at the shoulder and weigh <br />as much as 951bs. Many pet pi s are <br />smaller than the maximum standards. <br />EASY TO CARE FOR <br />Pet pigs are accommodated easily in your <br />home or barn. Inside they need their own <br />blanket and pillow; outside they require a <br />bam or kennel. In winter they require an <br />extra heat source; in summer they .require <br />shade and like to have a wading pool of <br />their own. <br />VET CARE <br />Piggies are known to be very hardy, we <br />still recommend you let your veterinarian <br />decide what health program would be best <br />in your area. Most owners have their pets <br />examined once a year, just like you <br />would a dog or cat. o~w~, <br />_ G <br />! pa <br />c~± . ~ <br />• ~pIG AgS~ <br />
