How to keep a dog

Keep the rules and manners for a fun life with your dog.

Last update date July 10, 2023

Let's take double and triple measures for owner identification (owner's designation)!

If a dog escapes due to being surprised by the loud noise, even if it is protected, you will not be able to contact you unless the owner is specified.
If your collar has a dog's license tag / vote or a lost tag, you can see it from the outside and you can contact the owner immediately.
Since the microchip is embedded in the body, if there is a leader (a machine that reads the microchip number), even if the collar comes off, there is a leader (a machine that reads the microchip number).
You can identify the owner. Each has its own benefits, so it's effective to combine multiple methods.
In the unlikely event of a catastrophe, specifying the owner increases the likelihood of finding a pet.
Please be sure to specify the owner for your precious family.

Let's follow the rules and manners of keeping them!

Domestic dogs may cause harm and hygiene problems.
Many are due to lack of awareness as an owner or lack of consideration for those who are not good at animals.
It can often be improved by the owner to adhere to manners and seriously thinking and practicing discipline.

The owner is responsible for cleaning up the excrement during the walk!

Don't you take a walk with your dog during the toilet?
If the dung falls on the road or in front of a house, it is not only unpleasant, but also has hygiene problems.
Complete the toilet at home as much as possible, and if your dog excretes during a walk, take your feces home.
Urine may leave an odor simply by flushing urine. Take care of yourself, such as sucking it with pet sheets.
In particular, do not let urine flow at the entrance or fence of another home.

Don't keep your dog free!

Some communities dislike animals, think they are scared, and have allergies to animals.
Leaving a dog in a park or riverbank can cause unexpected harm to dogs and people, such as traffic accidents due to dog jumping out and biting accidents.
I'll never stop it.
Walks should be done by a person who can control the dog.
Leads too long leads are dangerous for both dogs and those around them. Make sure to use a long lead that can control your dog.

Are your dog's squeals annoying?

There are reasons for dogs to ring, such as wanting rice or chem.
Observe your dog carefully and discipline it so that you don't keep it squealing unnecessarily.
If you don't know the cause, talk to a veterinarian or discipline expert.
In particular, late at night or early morning, it may cause inconvenience to the surroundings, so consider measures to prevent your dog from continuing to squealing.

Let's keep a loving and responsible way to the end!

One of the "pet owner's responsibilities" is "lifelong care".
This is to keep the animals properly until their lives are over. Everyone has a turning point in life.
Simulate to see if you can keep your pet even if your life changes, and work out measures in advance.
