If you succumbed to an old dream and decided to get a dog, then a lot of trials and surprises await you. The dog will completely depend on you and therefore you are responsible for it.
Each individual breed has its own grooming secret and its own vicissitudes of character. In order to understand all of them, you will have to study a lot, take a lot of interest and live for a long time side by side with this dog. However, there is a list of basic guidelines that will suit every dog in varying degrees.
The first nuance is walking. It is impossible to make a dog grow up without walking. This is important for her health, growth and a normal digestive system. Of course, the puppies will bring you unexpected joy throughout the apartment, but with age you will train the dog and it will solve all its affairs during walks. The length and number of walks depends entirely on the breed of the dog. At least these are two walks - in the morning and in the evening. If you have a strong and large dog, then it needs to run and move a lot, otherwise it can either get fat or destroy your house.
The next question is the question of feed. If you took care of your dog on your own, then you should know everything about food. What can and should a dog eat? The recipe is simple, the dog can eat meat, dairy products, eggs, vegetables and cereals. Moreover, it is better to give meat raw or scalded with boiling water. For every kilo of your dog's weight, 50 grams of meat per day. Cottage cheese, sour milk or kefir are very important. These foods are well absorbed and supply the body with calcium.
Then on the list are eggs and cereals. A dog is laid two eggs a week, but they are not digestible when raw. Therefore, you can boil her cereals - rice, oatmeal, buckwheat - and add a chopped egg. Vegetables are healthy, but their amount should be less than the amount of meat. Remember that you do not need to salt the dog's food, its needs for salt are extremely low. In addition, there should be pieces of chalk in an accessible place for the dog, she will gnaw them at will. It is known that many dogs are not indifferent to sweets. Therefore, during training, it is recommended to use raisins, dried apricots and prunes as top dressing. The choice may surprise many, but the dog will love it.
A very important aspect is vaccinations and treatment of the dog in case of need. In this regard, you need to have a familiar veterinarian, because self-medication can end in failure. Get your vaccinations on schedule. For the rest, just make sure that the dog does not eat anything and anywhere, as a rule, this is the main factor of the disease.
A dog is a huge responsibility and if you have already undertaken to take care of a dog, do it conscientiously.
