Dog Park Etiquette

Dogs love to socialize and mingle with other dogs as it is in their nature to be friendly. However, some dogs are unsocialized, these are dogs who were not exposed to other pets or people. If your dog is outgoing, be careful when allowing them to hang around other dogs as you do not know if the other dog is as sociable as him.

In case you have more than one dog, be sure to bring just one or two, so it will be easier for you to manage them. You can never be too sure how your dogs will behave with other dogs while they are outside, so it is better to be prepared.

Observe your dog’s behavior while he is at the park. Take a look at how other dogs act towards him as well. If you notice any sign of hostility from either your dog or the other dogs, it is best to remove your dog from the situation. This may trigger any untoward incident which can be traumatic for your dog and the other dog.

Call your veterinary hospital Wheat Ridge, CO to make sure that your pet’s preventatives and vaccinations are up to date before taking your pet on outdoor excursions.
