In response for a friend: What is important to know, walking the dog during quarantine

In the past few months, it is difficult not only to us, but also our fluffy friends. Tell the basic rules that need to be observed for a safe walk during quarantine.

Do not go too far from home

Many dog ​​owners are accustomed to go for a walk at least an hour, especially if the dog requires an active walk. However, given the circumstances, to move away from the house, than 100 meters we strongly do not recommend. In addition, the parks and squares are mostly closed, and therefore we do not advise to be wagoning into their territory - nothing terrible if you will do without intensive training with a dog in the next few months.

Walk in the morning and in the evening alone

Of course, you have a company or at least a familiar owner with whom you walk your dogs together so that neither they nor you are bored for a walk. However, for security purposes, you can donate a conversation with friends, no matter how close you do not communicate. In any case, you can stay in touch in messengers, and your dogs will be able to play and without communicating their owners.

Dress the dog

Despite the fact that animals are immune to the virus, it is worth limiting the contact of their pet with an external environment. Ordered for pets the waterproof popone or cape, small dogs can also be ordered socks, as the bedroom pets most often after the walk will be on your sofa.

Wash your dog paw

The mandatory ritual after the walk is the washing of the paw, now it is relevant than ever. Thoroughly rinse your paw dog with a special antibacterial shampoo for animals, as well as treat wool if your long-haired dog is subjected to contact with the ground.

Wash your hands

Even after you were thoroughly washed the dog's paws, be sure to wash your hands with ordinary soap, since the agent for animals is not able to completely replace handling of the hands after the street for a person. Try not to let the dog contact with public areas like sofas and beds for five hours after a walk, even if you conducted a pet processing.
