Taking Care of Your Pet
Keys to a Happy Life
Having a pet is a constant responsibility. Beyond love, they have specific physiological and ethological needs that must be respected for their balance.
Outings & Activity
More than just a bathroom break
Needs vs. Relaxation
Do not confuse the hygienic 'potty break' (3-4 times/day) with the real relaxation walk which must last at least 30 minutes for their mental balance.
City Rules
Leash mandatory. Pick up waste systematically. Strictly forbidden in children's sandboxes.
Watch out for wandering
A dog more than 100m from its owner or out of voice range is considered wandering and risks being impounded.
Nutrition
Health starts in the bowl
Sur mesure & Constance
Every dog is unique: adapt the diet to their age, size, and activity. Consistency is key: the same food every day is better for their digestion.
Respect des règles
The dog eats after their masters to respect the family hierarchy.
Vital Emergencies
Torsion d'estomac
Stomach torsion: Never exercise or excite after a meal (especially large dogs).
Aliments Toxiques
Toxic: Chocolate, sugar, and sauces are poisons for them.
Well-being at Home
A safe home
Their Place
The basket should not be in a passageway (hallway, door) so they can rest without being hyper-vigilant.
Presence
A dog should not be confined in your absence. For large dogs in apartments, the owner's presence and outings compensate for space.
