When you move to live with a dog, it is usually done (in fact, it should always be the case) with the idea of taking care of it as best as possible so that it has a life as long as possible and, above all, happy. There is so much love that this four-legged furry can give you, that certainly deserves the best.
For this reason, one of the first doubts that usually arise is the following: How to make my dog happy? Although it may seem otherwise, it is not difficult to make our friend want to smile at life 🙂. Take our advice into account and you will surely achieve it sooner rather than later.
Feed him quality food
It's the basics. A quality food, without grains or by-products, is essential so that the body can have enough resistance to fight viruses and other microorganisms that can cause illness. Ideally, give it a Yum or Barf Diet, but there are foods like Summum, Orijen, Acana, Applaws or Taste of the Wild, among others, that will keep you healthy and strong.
Educate him positive from the first day he comes home
Whether you adopt it as a puppy or as an adult, it is very important that we educate him with respect, patience and affection. We will invest time in your socialization other dogs, cats and people. We will dedicate several short sessions of training; This way you will learn to live in society and will be much happier.
Take him out for a walk every day
The dog need to go for a walk every day. At least, you should go out three times a day with a duration of about 20 minutes each walk (I insist, at least). The more times he goes out, the better it will be for him, both physically and psychologically.
Play with him at home
Just as important as daily walks is play and mental stimulation. A bored dog will be an animal that will bite everything it finds: shoes, chairs, sofas ... So it is highly advisable to buy interactive toys to keep you entertained.
Protect it from parasites
All the fleas, ticks and other parasites are very annoying. Throughout the year, especially in summer, we must put some antiparasitic to keep it protected.
Take him to the vet
During the first year of life, the puppy should receive its vaccines, the microchip and, in addition, it is highly recommended to do so neuter or spay if we don't want her to have babies. From the second, and annually, the reinforcement of rabies must be given and, also, it must be used to have a complete review in order to detect possible diseases.
All in all, I'm sure our dog will be very happy.
