Dogs need to regularly go for a walk to fulfill the norm of physical activity and develop the brain during interaction with other animals and its owner. Even during the recommended isolation, you should not give up short walks with pet. The best option is to go to a country house with a private territory, but if there is no such possibility, do not be afraid to get out of the house. Prepared several security rules that we advise you to follow.
Do not go to playgrounds
In all major cities near the parks, there are playgrounds for dog walking with the necessary equipment for pet training and places for consuming. Even if your dog is used to walking in the same place, the quarantine is better to change the situation. Try to distance yourself from other animal owners - do not start the conversation, do not transfer personal things from hand to hand and so on. Let it sound rudely, but any handshake now carries a danger to you. Your dogs will still have plenty of plenty to play with each other, but while wearing toys with you and entertain the animal yourself. At the same time, they do it yourself - it is not bad to strengthen immunity.

Wear mask on face
WHO argues that the mask needs to wear only people with signs of colds and those who care for a person with the first signs of coronavirus. However, Russian doctors are still advised to wear a mask as a means of protection against others and those surrounding from you - you can be a carrier of the virus, but not yet to feel symptoms. Remember that the mask can only be put on the hand-processed antiseptic hands, close the nose and mouth to her tightly, and after removing throwing out and re-process your hands with an alcohol-containing agent or soap. During the walk, it will not be superfluous to wear glasses on the eyes - so you at least partially protect the mucosa if a person sneezes next to you.
Clean the pet
Animals are sharply smelling smells - do not stimulate other people's dogs to follow your way after emptying the intestine of the pet. Moreover, particles of human saliva can remain on the surfaces next to this place - you will bring them home on your sole, after which the sanitary processing of the room will be required. Viruses live on items up to 2 days - do not forget about it. Yes, and keep the city cleanly needed even at that time, when everything around is fussy and nervous. The wipers should not risk their health and go on an extra shift because of someone else's laziness.
Get out of the house at night
Early morning and late evening - the best time for walking with pet, when there are no people on the street. At this time, you can quietly let go of the animal from a leash so that the dog runs away and played enough. Do not be afraid to play with him, most importantly after treating hands with an antiseptic. Try not to go to the parks with bikes and tracks for running - athletes who want to continue the classes, but may be carriers of the disease and not know about it because of strong immunity.

Do not forget about the bath
After each walk, wash your dog with shampoo, paying special attention to the paws and face. Animal while walking sniffs the whole territory - the dog cannot get harorous, but can transfer it to his wool and face. After rubbing the animal with a towel, immediately put it in washing at a temperature not lower than 60 degrees - it is believed that at such a temperature, viruses die. Do not be afraid to treat the animal paws by sanitizer - the pads of his paws are quite tough, so the alcohol will not cause irritation.
