The dog handler told about the nuances when choosing an apartment with a dog.
Vladimir Golubev, President of the Russian Cynological Federation, told on Friday, July 11, what to look for when choosing a home if you have a dog.
"The choice of housing conditions can be influenced by both the breed characteristics and the temperament of the pet," he warned in an interview with Radio 1.
According to the expert, one of the deciding factors is whether your dog belongs to a small or large breed. If decorative pets can live comfortably enough in a one-room apartment, it can be difficult for a large individual in any urban space.
If your pet is energetic, then you should ensure that there are enough parks and dog playgrounds in the area where you can comfortably walk with him for a long time.
Golubev also added that if a dog does not tolerate loneliness well and likes to raise his voice without provocation, it is worth correcting problematic behavior in advance, especially if your new house has thin walls.
"In the case of a country house, everything is much simpler, which cannot be said about an apartment. That is why small and unpretentious dog breeds are much more popular in cities," he concluded.
On the same day, a dog handler told the Moscow City News agency that some large and giant dog breeds are the worst affected by hot weather, and brachycephalic breeds are also at risk.
Golubev urged dog owners not to allow pets to drink from reservoirs.
On July 4, the expert reminded that dogs should have round-the-clock access to water. On average, a pet needs about 60 ml of liquid per 1 kg of weight, taking into account wet food and vegetables in the diet, he noted.
Earlier, on July 2, Alexander Khaminsky, a lawyer and head of the law enforcement center in Moscow and the Moscow Region, said that new rules for visiting beaches would be introduced in Russia from September 1. It will be forbidden to come on vacation with pets, according to 360.ru .
In turn, Vladimir Urazhevsky, president of the Union of Cynological Organizations of Russia, told NSN that the corgi is a universal breed that will find an approach to any person.
