These recommendations may seem obvious to many pet owners.

And yet another reminder will not hurt. After all, some owners forget to follow these rules, thereby shortening the lifespan of their pet.

Regular walks and games

The dog owner should not forget that the pet needs to be walked at least twice a day.

Four-legged friends need walks and games. Such activity helps improve the mood and strengthen the health of the pet.

Preventive examinations at the veterinarian

It is necessary to take an animal to a veterinary clinic not only when the pet already has health problems.

It is also important to remember the importance of preventive examinations. The earlier the disease is detected, the greater the chances of recovery.

Remove dangerous houseplants

Unfortunately, not all dog owners are aware that some indoor flowers are very dangerous for pets.

First of all, you should remove tulips, lilies and Kalanchoe.

Use insect repellents with caution

Some of these sprays and traps are also dangerous for dogs.

Before using the product, be sure to learn about its features.

Do not smoke in the presence of a dog

Do you have a dog in your apartment? Don't smoke if you are in the same room with your four-legged friend!

Passive smoking is dangerous not only for people, but also for pets.
