10 life hacks that every dog owner should know
As you know, it is more accurate to find a pet dog. Taken as a puppy, a person's best friend will bring a lot of happy moments, and perhaps will become the most native creature in the world. However, caring for a dog is not an easy task and requires the lion's share of your time, attention and patience.
In order not to spend extra time on veterinarians, expensive dietary food and to save your nerves, we offer you several effective tricks in handling dogs. Your pets would thank you for them if they could talk, but until evolution has reached this point, just bask in their silent adoration.
1. Dog and carpet
If your beloved dog has wetted a brand-new expensive Persian carpet, you should not tear your hair on your head and beat your chest with your fist. Ordinary baking soda will help to remove stains and unpleasant odors. Pour on the scene, wait until the liquid is absorbed, vacuum.
2. Dog and food
If your pet eats like he's not himself, and then he suffers from it — put a tennis ball in his bowl with food. This will force the beast to slow down and give his stomach a much-needed respite.
3. Dog and teeth
Smear his favorite toy with toothpaste and let him chew. Repeat it daily, and soon your pet's teeth will match the smiles of Hollywood beauties in their snow-white shine!
4. Dog and ice cream
In the hot summer, you probably wouldn't mind cooling off by eating ice cream buckets. Why is your dog worse? Put chicken wings mixed with apple slices in the freezer and serve your pet for lunch. Believe me, he will like a delicious chilled treat.
5. Dog and shower
Fortunately, many dogs, unlike cats, like to swim, bathe and wash. But, like in humans, if water gets into the ears, it can cause inflammation. To avoid this, put a little baby oil on a cotton swab and wipe the pet's ears with it. Alternatively, you can put a shower cap on him every time. Try both methods and choose the one that will be more convenient.
6. The dog and it is impossible
The list of products harmful to dogs does not end with chocolate. By the way, they should not also consume grapes (which leads to kidney failure), peaches, onions and garlic. The last two can cause anemia in your pet (damage to blood cells), so it's not worth joking with it. Recall that alcohol is also contraindicated for dogs. I hope you don't need to explain why?
7. Dog and vaseline
And in the winter months, before going out for a walk with a furry friend, take care of his health. Dog paws, though similar to durable wool-covered leather gloves, can also suffer from frostbite, as well as your hairless limbs. Do not be lazy and smear your friend's paws with vaseline before a walk. And there's nothing funny about it.
8. The dog and the trick
Sensing that you are holding the leash loosely and generally standing there, devouring that appetizing blonde with your eyes, the naughty dog can run away from you out of boredom. The worst thing you can think of is to run headlong after him. First of all, he runs faster than you. Secondly, just running in the other direction, you will achieve much better results. Seeing your escape, the four-legged tomboy will rush after you to catch you.
9. Dog and things
Not enough pockets for a heavy bunch of keys on a walk? Attach them with a carabiner to the dog's collar. The main thing now is not to lose the dog.
10. Dog and smell
The animal may have bad breath — after all, it's a dog that tries to eat everything on the street. The easiest way to get rid of the unpleasant smell will be by adding ordinary parsley to his bowl of food.
