Maintain a consistent routine for your dog. Regular feeding, exercise, and sleep schedules provide stability during uncertain times.
Practice social distancing with your dog. Keep them on a leash and maintain a safe distance from other people and pets during walks.
A stimulating environment at home. Use puzzle toys and interactive games to keep your dog mentally engaged.
Take precautions during walks. Avoid crowded areas, and sanitize your dog's paws after walks to reduce the risk of virus transmission.
Stock up on pet supplies, including food, medications, and essentials, to ensure you have everything your dog needs.
Consider telehealth vet visits for non-urgent matters. Consult your vet remotely to minimize in-person contact.
Have an emergency plan for your dog, including a pet-sitter or boarding options, in case you become ill.
