Take care of a blind dog it's a task that doesn't really differ as much as you might think from how you would take care of a dog that can see. Regardless of whether you were already born with blindness as if it has appeared as a result of some disease, surely you want to know what to do so that your quality of life is the best, right?
Let us know how to care for a blind dog.
The first thing you have to bear in mind is that, despite not seeing, it has a much more developed sense of smell and hearing than ours. Thanks to them, you can orient yourself and go where you want, not as fast as a dog that can see, but can do it. For this reason, it is very important to let him go, let him come and go through spaces that must be safe, since although he can guide himself, that does not mean that we can let him walk loose without a leash, as it is very dangerous, not only for him, but for all dogs.
It is also important that you know that you do not have to change any place, except for objects with pointed ends, which will be convenient to put them in another place where you can not access them in any way. But the others must be left in the place where they were located for the first time; so the dog will not get lost.
In the event that you have stairs, you must put up some barrier to prevent it from falling. Little by little you will get used to going up and down the steps. If you see that it costs him a lot, you can help him by placing a treat for dogs that he likes a lot in front of his nose, and go up (or down). Once you reach the end, give it to him.
Lastly, both the game and the routine of the walks must continue the same. To make it easier for him to play, toys that do not make any noise should be replaced by others that do. So you will enjoy much more 🙂.
