What mistakes do dog owners most often make? 0 9

Walking off-leash near the road

According to Ben, even a well-behaved dog should not be allowed to walk without a leash, especially near a road, as the pet could end up under the wheels of a car.

Allowing them to chew on bones

Firstly, bone fragments often get stuck in the animal's intestines. Secondly, dogs frequently break their teeth on bones. In some cases, this leads to an abscess at the root of the tooth, which may need to be removed.

Leaving them alone in the car

You should not leave an animal in a car, especially in hot weather. If there are many errands planned for the day, it is better for your pet to stay at home.

Treating them with raw meat

Such treats can pose a threat not only to the pet. If the animal eats raw meat and then starts licking its owner, it can transfer salmonella, E. coli, and other unpleasant bacteria to them.

Overfeeding

Many owners, out of love for their pets, start to overfeed them. However, excess weight poses a serious health risk to dogs.
