Everyone makes mistakes when caring for pets, regardless of experience or lack thereof.

The only difference is that for some, the price is health, and therefore a comfortable and well-fed life alone is not enough for cats or dogs.

We'll tell you what non-obvious mistakes pet owners most often make.

1. Improper nutrition

This is fraught with obesity and the development of diseases of both the digestive and cardiovascular systems. To choose a diet, you need to evaluate the appearance of the pet and, if necessary, consult a veterinarian. Only then can we talk about a diet.

2. Lack of hygiene

Cats and dogs can also have toothaches. In addition, you need to take care of the fur, claws, ears, etc. This is not done for beauty and gloss, but so that the pet remains healthy. If you do not do this, you will have to poison parasites or treat infectious diseases.

3. Scheduled inspection

Even if your four-legged friend looks like a fine fellow, you need to schedule a trip to the vet so as not to miss anything important. It's like a routine medical checkup for people.

4. Handling animals

Being too strict or being too harsh can cause stress. Trying to force your dog or cat to obey you can make life hell for them.

5. Personal space

The pet should have its own place that will suit both it and the owner. In addition, you need to ensure that the sleeping place and the bowl for food and water are always clean.
