Dog A suitable environment for dogs

Facts

  • Living in a cold or wet place can cause a dog to suffer and may lead to illness.

  • A dog needs regular opportunities to go to the toilet or he/she will become distressed.

  • A dog must be able to avoid things that scare him/her. A dog may suffer if he/she is unable to hide.

  • Dogs are intelligent. If a dog is bored, and doesn’t have enough to do, he/she may suffer.

  • A dog needs regular opportunities to exercise.

  • Dogs are inquisitive. A dog may put itself in danger if he/she is left to explore unsupervised.


Things you should do

  • Provide your dog with a comfortable, dry, draught-free, clean and quiet place to rest undisturbed.

  • At least every few hours provide your dog with access to an appropriate place where your dog can go to the toilet.

  • Provide your dog with access to an appropriate place where he/she can exercise at least twice a day.

  • Give your dog constant access to a safe hiding place where he/she can escape if he/she feels afraid.

  • Make sure your dog has access to suitable objects to chew and play with.

  • Make sure there is sufficient clean water for your dog to drink.

  • If dogs live together, you should provide enough extra resources (e.g. toys, beds and hiding places) to stop them from becoming competitive and fighting.

  • Make sure the size and temperature of any place you leave your dog (including your vehicle) is appropriate.

  • When you transport your dog, make sure he/she is comfortable and safe at all times.

  • Make sure that where your dog lives is safe, secure and free from hazards.

  • Keep your dog under control and do not let it stray.

Again, a lot of good info.

What about always having fresh, clean water available?
