Let's imagine a situation: a dog owner, accustomed to walking his pet in the morning, did not hear the alarm clock.
A person needs to hurry to work, so he decides to postpone a walk with his four-legged friend.
The pet owner comes to this conclusion: "I'll walk the dog when I get home. I think one walk a day will be enough."
Is the dog owner right in this situation? We will answer right away: no.
If a person misses a walk, his dog will have a hard time.
How long can you go without walking your dog?
It turns out that the maximum allowable interval between walks is 12 hours.
Thus, one walk a day is clearly not enough for the dog.
You need to walk your dog at least twice a day.
Overslept? Try to walk your pet before going to work anyway!
If you do miss a walk, be aware that it will be hard for your four-legged friend to endure more than 12 hours.
Also, be prepared for a not-so-pleasant picture upon returning home: it is quite possible that you will find a pile and will have to clean it up.
If you are 1-2 hours late at work, don't worry. Yes, you won't have time to walk the dog at the usual time, but the interval between walks will still be less than 12 hours.
But if the return home takes place 4 hours later than usual, then this is not very good for a dog accustomed to timely evening walks.
Previously, we explained why dogs twitch their paws when they sleep.
