THINGS TO CONSIDER WHEN YOU HAVE PETS IN PANAMA
Our pets are, without a doubt, another member of our family. Whether it's a playful and affectionate puppy or a calm and elegant cat, they are the recipients of affection from many people around the world. Now, while it is true that we love them with all our hearts, do we really know what are all the responsibilities involved in safeguarding the welfare of our pets?
This is an extremely important question to ask ourselves when we consider getting or adopting a pet. For this reason, today we bring you some recommendations for you and your pet in Panama.
PETS IN PANAMA: HOW TO ENSURE A HEALTHY ENVIRONMENT FOR THESE MEMBERS OF THE FAMILY
Check the regulations
It is very likely that, if you are sure you want a pet, you already live in a residential area whose administration allows pets. Now, if this is not the case, it is a priority to investigate the rules established by the complex or residence in which you live, as well as its regulations regarding these animals. Some administrations even charge a monthly fee per pet.
If this is not allowed, the most recommended option would be to move to a pet-friendly space, which, although it means an investment, represents part of the construction and planning of a happy home.
What about space?
For some species of large dogs, for example, confinement in small areas -such as apartments- can mean serious damage to their emotional state and the development of their natural musculature.
For this reason, take this important factor into consideration when acquiring your future companion. If it is a large breed, guarantee it a yard of at least 30 square meters and a location close to a park or green area, where it can exercise and play with its peers at the same time.
Care inside the home
By nature, our pets are very curious. Therefore, it is not surprising that many of the causes of death of pets are chemical poisoning or electrocution due to the bite of bare wires.
So, in order to avoid these tragic accidents, be sure to check each and every one of the wiring in the area intended for the dog, as well as the possible access of this to the chemical tanks, so you can easily prevent a terrible tragedy.
