Tails owners will agree that once you have a pet in your life, it’s hard to imagine a walk without it. It can be a simple walk on the street, but also a walk in the park, on a bicycle, in the rain and in sunny weather. And how can you do without a trip to the lake or the countryside? For each of the above mini-vacations and walks to take place we need to prepare for it. Each walk will be special conditions, time of realization, weather and place of stay. But remember that each walk is not only a pleasure, but also a responsibility for your Pet. Loving owners should be ready for it, both morally and technically. All the preparations made in advance will help you and your pet to get pleasure and joy from the time spent together and most importantly comfort.
Now we will analyze in detail how to prepare for a walk with your pet, so that it would be comfortable for both of you.
List of things you need for a walk with your dog:
- collar;
- leash;
- muzzle;
- rubber toys to play with;
- hygiene bags for cleaning up after the dog;
- water and food;
- treats for Tail;
Collar, muzzle and leash
When you are going for a walk with your Ponytail, it is important to choose the right “ammunition” for the walk. The most important thing is that such protection should be durable and reliable. The leash should be easy to manage, long, it is worth checking all the fasteners before going out. All fasteners should be in proper technical condition. Check if there are no breaks and even light cracks, because when moving, the crack can become even deeper and fall off. Often owners do not pay proper attention to this, and that is why the animal can break off, run forward and get lost.
If your Fluffy wants to run around, of course you can let him go for a run. To make this walk safe check if there are several or a pack of dogs nearby – this is to eliminate collisions. It is also important to check if the area is safe for walking and if there are not a lot of cars or open roadways.
An ID collar is also needed or a GPS tracker. Even if an unpleasant situation occurs and your pet is lost, an ID is always useful. A dog open to communication will always find a companion on his way, and kind and responsive people will always respond and seeing the phone number or address, will take and return you Tail.
“Muzzles” also play an important role on a walk with an animal on the street. A walk in the driveway or park will always be safe for your pet and you when encountering passersby. If your pet is communicative – it is good, but even those who are good communicators can often feel fear, hatred of animals from passers-by and feeling this the animal starts to behave aggressively. It may then start barking aggressively, run faster and even hurt the person. It is important to remember that in too crowded places you should behave carefully.
Food and water:
- Regular dry and wet food;
- treats for rewarding and training the animal;
- a silicone set of food and water containers;
Food and water are indispensable items to have with you at all times. Water and food are a must-have “therapy“ and key to your pet’s health and tone in all weather conditions, and especially in the heat of summer. Whether the walk is short or long term, the pet needs “strength and energy”. In stores we can buy both dry and wet snack for the pet, but both one and the second will be useful, because pet food is always full of vitamins and microelements.
Ordinary household items to take with you on a walk:
- toys and sticks to play with;
- a sun bed and blanket, in case of rain;
- raincoat;
- warm overalls.
Depending on the weather and season, the owner should take care of things like a blanket, raincoat and warm overalls for a walk with the dog. A blanket comes in handy when you want to rest while walking on the lawn with your dog. Especially if such a walk is organized with the animal in summer. But whether you take a raincoat or overalls for your dog, it all depends on the weather conditions and the time of year in which you walk with your tail. The best thing to do is to check the weather conditions of the region where you plan to walk and the weather forecast for the particular period. Also, don’t forget about the fun and games you can organize with your dog outside during the walk. Chew bones and balls are always useful.
So, remember that to organize a safe and fun walk with your dog, you need to think ahead of time. Check your dog’s physical condition daily, check the weather forecasts and most importantly, check your dog’s “equipment” to make sure it’s in good working order. A timely prepared walk will always bring you positive emotions and joy, as well as your tail. All dogs without exception, energetic, mobile, and even those who have a calmer character, love walks. And the main thing – it will be safe for you, the doggy and the third person – passerby. We wish everyone only the best impressions from walks with their dogs!
