0 You are right. 01i00care for02i00 is most often related to feelings. But it can also mean 01i00to take care of02i00. To avoid confusion you should probably use 01i00take care of02i00 when speaking about providing a dog with the things that a dog needs. That's why I showed my preference for 01i00take care of02
