How to care for a dog?

Feeding
The main mistake most dog owners make is feeding home-made food. Even worse, when pets are treated to delicacies that a person considers tasty: sugar, chocolate, sausage. The best food for an animal is specialized food and treats. And they should teach a dog to them from childhood.

Walking
You need to walk the dog twice a day, at least in the morning and in the evening, especially when it comes to large breeds. In connection with the developed muscles, they need a lot of physical activity, which means that walks should be longer. Small dogs, on the contrary, do not require hours of walking. Usually after 5-10 minutes they themselves ask to go home.

Training
Each dog should know the commands "fu" and "to me", which are often used in everyday life. You can train a dog both independently and by resorting to the help of a specialist. Of course, if you do not have experience in training, it is better to immediately contact a professional. Especially when it comes to large dogs.

Veterinary control and hygiene
In addition to a balanced diet and physical activity, the dog’s health also depends on a timely visit to the veterinarian. The animal needs a veterinary passport, in which all vaccinations must be marked. In addition, it is recommended that you visit the clinic every six months for a scheduled examination.

There are no problems with the dog at all. But there are many advantages. For example, you will become more active. People who have got a dog and regularly walk with it are more active physically than those who do not have a pet. For example, a person who walks the dog on average three times a week spends about 25 minutes on one walk. Add to this game with a dog on the street and at home - it's a good fitness training. Personally, I have a dog - Golden Retriever. AND we often travel with him. For a more comfortable trip I chose for my pet one of the crate after I got acquainted with the reviews  From myself I want to separately note that folding metal crate are most convenient. They can easily be taken with you on a trip or to an exhibition. WITH this crate it is much easier to find a hotel. Crate with plastic parts are lighter, but often smaller. The area of ​​the cage should be enough so that the dog can stretch out, take a few steps or stand upright. If the dog remains inside for several hours, a drinker should be provided. In any case, a soft, comfortable litter is needed at the bottom of the crate.
