What to do before getting a dog: instructions for responsible people
Many people only learn about the responsibility that falls on the shoulders of pet owners after the fact.
At a minimum, you need to take into account the financial costs that will be associated with feeding, grooming, veterinary examinations, and other unpleasant little things.
But that's not all that needs to be done before a dog appears in the house.
On the pages of the publication "7ya.ru" experts have compiled instructions that will allow you to prepare for this important step in the most thorough manner.
1. The pet should have its own bowl for food, water, as well as other attributes and toys.
2. You need to prepare a place in advance, the so-called personal space of the future puppy.
3. Many forget and then get offended: you need to hide all electrical wires that may be accessible to the animal in boxes or in some other way. The same is done with medicines and household chemicals.
4. Set rules in the house, and after the puppy adapts to the new conditions, do not allow him to break them.
5. Education should take place without shouting and physical punishment, and there should be mandatory rewards for good behavior.
6. Follow the vaccination schedule and visit a veterinarian at the times prescribed by a specialist.
7. In addition to bathing, combing, cutting hair and claws, do not forget to treat for parasites and blood-sucking insects.
And most importantly, do not skimp on food and walk the dog at least once a day for at least one hour. And be sure to familiarize yourself with the character and features of the chosen breed.
