In case you have decided to welcome a pet in your house or a flat, preparations for its arrival are necessary. It is essential to specify a place in the apartment that will become its personal playground. You do not need a lot of space to do this, a corner where you can accommodate a bed for your dog is enough. The best place for the bed is in the room where the dog is the least able to ruin something, chew it or break. It would be desirable that the floor of the room where the animal resides is easy to maintain and preferably without a carpet. Some old newspapers should be placed somewhere in this room too, because this is where your dog will defecate.
Your dog can follow you around the house while you’re in it, but it’s not wise to leave the pets alone with the whole place at their disposal. It’s impossible to move or hide all the things that could endanger them or that they could damage. It might seem to you that your pet is completely indifferent to surrounding objects when it’s in your company, but when left alone, it tries to find all possible ways to entertain itself and get to know the world around. This is why it’s good to provide your pet with toys it can chew or play with to keep it occupied. Water should always be available, but it would be smart to keep the water bowl somehow fixed to the floor, because dogs can be clumsy and spill it easily.
Make it friendly
In completely new environment, the dog will be confused at first and it won’t know where to pee, so it can choose a place that you wouldn’t particularly like. The easiest way to get it used to a certain place is to immediately put him on a previously set out newspapers after it wakes up. When the weather is nice, you can teach your dog to pee outside in the same manner. Later, the dog will ask you to let it out or use the chosen spot inside without any problems. Routine is important not only for this matter but when it comes to play, sleep and feeding time as well, and it will make you more relaxed at the same time.
It is a lot easier to take care of a dog than a child, but some precautions must still be taken into account. Dogs are curious by nature and they would want to explore the world around them and thus easily get into trouble. If possible, all electrical cords should be hidden or secured to the floor or wall, and out of the pet’s reach. Harmful toxic substances such as antifreeze, various sprays, pesticides, fertilizers, mice and rats poison, perfumes, lotions, medicines, poisonous house plants should be kept somewhere safe.
Dog’s special place
Provide your pet with Stefmar’s dog supplies. Dishes for food and water should be separate and made of ceramic or metal. Beds or woven baskets with a soft, easily washable fabric, big enough for your dog are great for sleeping and rest. Cages can come in handy when you are taking your dog to the vet or on a trip. Give your pet enough toys to encourage activity and playfulness. Toys shouldn’t have any parts that can be easily bitten off or that can fall off, and they shouldn’t be too small either because your dog could eat them. Large enough clasp necklace with a tile with your printed name and phone number in case your dog gets lost is a smart buy. Flexi leash is durable and comfortable for your dog and you won’t be wrong if you decide to afford it. You mustn’t forget about necessary grooming tools like brushes, special shampoos and nail clippers.
Thinking that keeping the dog in a house or a flat is torture is wrong. Having a dog inside your home would be torture only if you didn’t provide enough walks and physical activity outside during the day. A dog that releases excess energy with constant walks and playtime will spend the rest of its day peacefully hanging out with you or dozing off at his place.
