Keeping a pet in our house implies a series of responsibilities related to its care and attention that we have to know. A series of recommendations concerning these aspects are detailed below: -
1 CHOICE OF THE PET AND THE ARRIVAL HOME
The first thing you have to ask yourself is if you're eager to adopt an animal and if it suits you. For this you must be happy to devote a part of your time to the new pet, be patient and persevering, discuss component of your spare time with the animal and know how to act firmly in the face of its potential behavior and it is easier to handle low maintenance pets
so as to make alive with the dog as good as you can and there are other more small pets to kids, it is essential to take into consideration the characteristics of each breed and supply adequate care during the first weeks.
The accessories that must be purchased before the new creature's arrival at the home are a mattress, a feeding trough and a drinking trough, accessories like a leash and collar in the case of puppies and a plastic bucket to get clutter in the event of cats. You must also have a toiletry bag which contains combs or brushes, moist tollitas for cleaning eyes and ears and a nail clipper.
2. - FOOD
It is essential to keep our pet animals that they eat a balanced diet that matches their energy requirements and gives sufficient nutrients.
Ideally, for both cats and dogs, they should eat foods that are dry, adapted to each stage of development and each need. They should never eat raw foods because these can be a source of parasitic diseases.
It is convenient to stop obesity. A normal animal should have palpable ribs along with an hourglass shape seen from above. There are numerous industrial diets on the market which may help us avoid obesity.
In periods of gestation or lactation, cats and dogs should be provided with a high-end business feed, especially during the last three or four weeks of gestation and throughout lactation. The ration should likewise be raised, especially during lactation, at a rate of 1.5 times the amount required for normal maintenance during the first week, 2 more times in the next week and up to 3 times longer in the next week of lactation.
3 - HYGIENE
Bathing: The experts don't agree upon the frequency with which bathrooms should be performed. Generally, this should not be less than once a month. Some writers point out that it needs to be done when they want it, such as when the hair is dirty. Although cats are inclined to be less tolerant than puppies with the tub, it's possible to produce the kitten accept it and get used to it.
Brushing: The best way to maintain your hygiene without changing your skin would be daily brushing.
Ears: Must be washed with gauze.
Nails: In dogs that do not work well, they must be cut, particularly about the spurs. For cats there are scratching accessories available on the market so that cats maintain their nails in excellent condition.
Dental checkup: Gradually pressing the mouth joint with your palms will make your kitty open her mouth so she can observe the state of her teeth. Teeth clean in their by chewing dry feed or biting particular toys. Tartar and bad breath must be treated by the vet.
4 - EDUCATION
Dogs are social and hierarchical animals: this means they require from dogs to know and assume their"place" in the family and outside (from the park, at the presence of strangers in the home, in the usual places of passage such as veterinary clinic, in family homes, etc.. )
There is a fundamental period in the development of behaviour known as the"sensitization interval" that ranges from 3 to 10 weeks and during which the puppy must assimilate everything that happens in her environment. The socialization of this creature makes them more accepting of other creatures, both of their own species and others, and habituation permits them to handle the environmental stimuli that they will encounter throughout their lives.
We have to teach them a few basic principles of coexistence by learning quite easy obedience behaviors. For this you need to say your name prior to giving an order with a short phrase. You need to always work with positive reinforcements. For example, if he pulls on the strap, then shorten the distance and reward him if he does not pull, teach him the"sit" by gently pressing his back and also to make him lie on the floor you can squeeze his back and then pull his legs forward forward.
