Nowadays, the army of pet dog owners is growing, but some people might just be following the trend. Here, the Pets Zone editor mainly wants to remind friends who are preparing to join the dog-raising ranks that if you want to raise a dog, you must accomplish the following tasks.

1. Always Use a Leash When Going Out

Some owners, for the dog's freedom, do not put on a leash when taking them out for a walk. This seems like not wanting to restrain the dog, but actually, it is a very irresponsible behavior. Only wearing a leash can ensure the dog's safety, so you must use a leash when going out.

2. Carry a Pooper Scooper When Going Out

Most owners walk their dogs to solve the defecation problem. For this, it is recommended that owners bring a pooper scooper when going out. After the dog defecates, use the scooper to pick up the dog poop and then throw it into the trash bin. Pooper scoopers are sold in pet stores and online; if you don't want to buy one, you can directly use a plastic bag.

3. Know Which Things Dogs Absolutely Cannot Eat

For the dog's health, owners must know what dogs can eat and what they cannot. A proper diet can ensure the dog's health.

4. Regular Deworming and Vaccinations

Also, to ensure the dog's health, owners must regularly deworm their dogs and take them to receive vaccinations; this must not be neglected!

5. Get a Dog License When Raising a Dog in “Dog Catching” Areas

Many big cities require pet dogs to have a dog license, which is similar to our human ID card. Also, to prevent your dog from being mistaken for a stray and caught by dog catchers, you should promptly get a dog license for them.

6. Companionship Is the Best Care

Finally, and most importantly, companionship. Dogs are emotional animals and they do not like to be neglected. So, since you choose to raise them, you need to spend enough time accompanying them.
