Method 2:
"Dog walks are short or long"

If you walk your dog for too long, it will make your dog too tired and even cause damage to its joints and bones.
Correct Approach:
Different types of dogs have different needs for dog walking time, and the excrement shovel officer should decide the dog walking time according to the exercise needs of his dog. Generally, small dogs can walk for half an hour every day, and medium and large dogs need one and a half to two hours.

Method 5:
"Don't grind your dog's teeth"
Never grinding the dog's teeth will cause the dog's teeth to hide dirt and dirt, and there are many food residues, resulting in bad breath in the dog, and can not meet the needs of the dog's teeth grinding, and it is easy to cause the dog to suffer from gingivitis, dental calculus, stomatitis, etc.
