If you have just adopted a dog, you are probably wondering what it needs to be happy, right? Its life expectancy is shorter than that of a human being, but during each of its days it will give you a lot of company and affection in exchange for practically nothing.
To know how to take care of dogs we must bear in mind that patience, respect and affection will be very important. If any of them are missing, the animal will not have a good life.
Feed him good quality food
The dog is a carnivorous animal, that needs meat to be able to have a good growth and development. For this reason, it is very important that we give him grain-free mealsThese are ingredients that not only do you not need but they can also cause allergies and other health problems such as urinary infections.
Take him to the vet whenever he needs it
Although the dog is usually in good health, it is necessary to take him to the vet to put the necessary vaccinations, microchip and to castrate him if we do not intend to breed it. Also, if he gets sick or has an accident, it will also be important to take him in for a checkup.
Spend as much time as possible
It is our dog. He is our friend. We are his family, and as such we have to worry about him. We have to take him out for a walk every day, play a lot with him, and teach him some basic commands so that he learns to coexist in society from the first day he arrives home, otherwise we could end up living with a dog that will need the help of a dog trainer to solve its behavior problems.
Have it with you
The dog must live inside the home, with the family. You are not "programmed" to be alone living in a garden or yard. Of course, it can be outside, but as long as it is to play, not to always remain there.
Dogs give us a lot of affection. Let's take care of them as they deserve so they know how much we care about them.
