The quarantine is implemented for everyone’s safety. Every person should remain indoors and practice social distancing to prevent the virus from further spreading. The quarantine is a way for everyone, including your dog, to stay healthy. During this pandemic, the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association released an article about the best ways of keeping our furry pups happy and healthy.
The association believes that it’s best to stock up on essentials. Dog owners should buy food for the pup and the owner for a few weeks or months. Dog parents should also secure enough medical supplies for their puppies and some anti-lice shampoo or cosmetic supplies for canines. Luckily, some pet stores offer online services to ensure your furry pal remains well-groomed and fit.
They also think letting our dogs exercise to be physically healthy is wise. Playing games with them or incorporating them into their owners’ daily workouts are two ways this can be achieved. This is a sure-fire way to spend quality time.
Now that most people have more time, the quarantine is a great way to get to know their pets better. Dog owners could connect more with their buddies by paying more attention to them by playing or simply hanging around and watching shows. They can even keep a close eye on their behavior. Some dogs may be anxious around people or even depressed, just like humans do, especially in isolation. Please give them the necessary affection to cater to their mental health.
This lockdown may be severe and even more so for some, but having your buddy around will make it much more manageable. Utilizing most of your time would allow you to develop a stronger bond with your fluffy pal. Your presence in each other’s lives can keep you both happy and healthy while being safe in these trying times.
