- The benefits of raising a dog: a loyal dog with many advantages
“Woof! If you want to keep a pet, you should keep a dog. Dogs are the most loyal companions of humans. Everyone has heard of the story of Hachiko, the loyal dog, but no one has heard of Hachiko, the loyal cat.”
“Dogs are obedient, friendly to people, love to act cute and hug, are easy to train, understand commands, and obey their owners. They are much better than cats that do whatever they want.”
“Owning a dog can help lower blood pressure and reduce the risk of heart attacks. And walking and playing with the dog also increases the owner’s exercise, which has a positive effect on physical health.”
“Dogs are very interactive pets, like a little follower around you every day. Studies have shown that interacting with dogs can promote the secretion of dopamine and serotonin in the body, produce a sense of pleasure, and thus improve emotional state.”
“Talking to your dog about your troubles can reduce stress and anxiety, greatly improve your sense of happiness and stabilize your mood. When you walk your dog, you can also meet other like-minded owners and exchange experiences with each other, which can also reduce stress and anxiety.”
“Taking your dog for a walk is good for your physical health, and talking to your dog about your troubles keeps your mind healthy. There are so many benefits to having a dog!”
- Disadvantages of raising dogs: Disadvantages that require tolerance from the owner
The cat listened to the dog’s introduction and was very dissatisfied: “Meow! The dog really has no ivory in his mouth, and he can only brag about melons! Dogs often bark, why didn’t you mention it at all?”
“Because dogs are social animals, barking is our way of socializing. When we feel lonely, we will keep barking in the hope of attracting the owner’s attention. We have obvious emotions, and we will express our good and bad moods through barking! Woof!”
“Humans are busy enough in their daily lives. How can they have the time to care about dogs’ feelings? It would be better for them to entertain themselves like us cats! Meow!” said the cat proudly.
“You need to take your dog for walks regularly. If it is locked up at home for a long time without going out for exercise, it will become extremely anxious or depressed. You need to take it for a walk for at least half an hour every day. If it barks randomly when you live in an apartment, you also have to consider the reactions of your neighbors.”
“Dogs also urinate and defecate anywhere, unlike cats who go to the toilet at designated places and cover their excrement. These things can only be improved through a lot of training.”
“Dogs often chew things randomly to sharpen their teeth and maintain their bite force. We can only relieve this by using props and training the dogs. We cannot completely prohibit the dog’s nature.”
“In addition, it’s not just cat and dog hair that can cause allergies. Dogs shed a lot and like to lick their owners everywhere. The proteins in dog hair, saliva, and dander can all become allergens.”
- Things to know and avoid when raising a dog: money and time costs
“There are many financial costs to raising a dog: basic dog food, health supplements, and daily necessities. The medical expenses for the dog to go to the veterinary hospital for examination when it is sick, and the time cost of the owner’s daily feeding, cleaning, and walking the dog are the most important.”
“Dog breeding tips: Dogs’ sense of smell and taste are dozens of times more sensitive than humans’, so the food they can eat is mainly light. For example: boiled eggs, boiled meat, pumpkin, carrots, broccoli, bananas, apples, etc.”
“Pay special attention to dog’s dietary taboos! Do not feed dogs human meals or snacks at will, especially chocolate, grapes, onions, garlic, etc., which are toxic to dogs and may endanger their lives if they eat them!”
“In short, you need to do enough homework before getting a dog to ensure that the owner and the dog can share a healthy and happy time together.” Fanfan nodded and thought, the scale in her heart between getting a cat or a dog gradually tilted to one side.
