Being a dog parent is not easy. One needs to be very careful
about the special needs of the dog and offer them proper care and attention. In
fact it would not be an exaggeration today that the adopting a dog is akin to
being a parent of your child. You have to offer them a happy and healthy life
that would not only increase their obesity but also offer them a high standard
of life. One thing that you should remember here is that you don't have to
adopt the dog only because of its liveliness or charm but also because you want
to form a lifelong relationship. So you need to be very careful about physical
and mental health of your dog as you are careful about your own child.
Here are a few helpful tips to maintain the health of you
dog:
Daily Exercise
Daily exercise is the most important part of a dog's
schedule. In fact many pet owners would not like to take their dogs to nearby
parks for walking as they are too much worried about the dog being attacked by
street dogs. In that case you may use a vehicle to take your dog in a vehicle
and park it outside the garden. Then you can take you dog inside the park and
allow it to enjoy brisk walking. The obese dogs find it difficult to breather
and are at a high risk of developed diabetes.
Diet
Some people treat they dogs as their own family members.
However it times they go a bit too far. It is especially true in the case of
diet; In fact the dog's biological system and digestion process is distinctly
different from human beings. So chocolate can be a treat for your child but for
your dog it is a threat. The digestion system of dogs is designed in such a way
that they cannot digest certain foods like chocolates, pizza, bread and others.
Hence, instead of giving it what it likes the most you should rather offer it
something that is most beneficial of its body.
Mental Well-being
The dogs are very sensitive when it comes to psychology.
Many people buy dogs, not adopt them. It means that they buy them because of
their liveliness instead of forming a genuine relationship. Such dogs are
pampered too much in the beginning and later on when the owners are fed up they
stop giving much attention to them. Sure, they get the food and water on time.
But that is not enough. They also want to get proper care and love. Many such
dogs suffer mentally and finally they fall victim to various psychiatric
problems. So, it is very important to adopt a dog only of you have enough time
to take their proper care.
Even if you buy healthy dog, they might observe that it
develops certain kind of health issues in the course of time. In fact when you
adopt dogs you change their lifestyle intentionally or unintentionally that may
lead to a variety of dog diseases.
