Dog Daily Routine
Morning Routine: Start the day with a 30-minute walk for exercise and mental stimulation, followed by a nutritious breakfast suited to your dog’s needs. Ensure fresh water is always available and provide regular bathroom breaks to support overall health.
Midday Activities: Keep your dog engaged with interactive play, such as fetch or obedience training, to maintain mental stimulation. Conduct a quick health check to monitor any changes in behavior or discomfort. If your dog has a midday meal, ensure it's balanced and that they stay hydrated.
Evening Routine: A walk or play session helps burn off energy before bedtime. Serve dinner similar to breakfast and ensure fresh water access. Wind down with cuddle time and gentle petting to strengthen your bond.
Bedtime Preparation: Take your dog out for a final bathroom break and set up a cozy sleeping space for a comfortable rest.
Preparation Steps for Grooming
Gather Supplies: Have all necessary tools ready, including brushes, combs, shampoo, conditioner, nail clippers, and a clean towel for a smooth and stress-free grooming process.
Create a Comfortable Environment: Choose a quiet, well-lit space where your dog feels safe. If they are nervous, introduce them to the grooming area gradually and offer treats to create positive associations.
Pre-Grooming Brushing: Before bathing, brush your dog’s coat to remove loose hair and tangles, making the washing process easier and more effective.
Bathing & Drying: Use a dog-friendly shampoo and conditioner suited to their coat type. Rinse thoroughly to remove residue, then dry gently with a towel or blow dryer on low heat.
Finishing Touches: After drying, brush the coat again to prevent tangles. Regular nail trimming and ear cleaning help maintain overall health and comfort.
