I have been a lover of pets since I was young but my father never allowed the rearing of pets in our house, not for any reason but for African mentality, people from the older generation believe that pets are used for evil deeds and this makes them avoid them.
I grew up loving pets but I had no chance to have one, so when I was at the university my neighbor had one dog and this made me show more affection for pets, I love to cook and give it to this dog, my love for pets started increasing more and more.
Last year I decided to buy a dog for myself, I bought this dog then my brother gave me one because he saw my love for pets, these dogs have always been my companions whenever I am all alone in the house, there are so many things I love about having these dogs as my pet.
There are so many benefits to having a dog as pet
PHYSICAL BENEFITS:- having dogs has my pets has helped me a lot and still helping me, I am too lazy to carry out my daily exercise but since I have these pets I have been exercising daily without any restrictions, the way we run in the compound makes me burn lots of calories and gives me joy in my inner spirit, also I have been doing my early morning walk with my pets every Saturday.
EMOTIONAL BENEFITS:- As I said earlier, my pets as been my companions, I am always happy around them because I would have to be shouting and laughing at the same time, and they won't seem to amaze me, no dulling moment at all, they always behave as human because they will always obey my rules and regulations. Interacting with them relieves me of stress and improves my mental health, no depression or anxiety whenever I am playing around with my pets.
Another benefit I have gained from having these pets is connection, I have met different people through walkouts with my pets, and taking them for training, people always admire my dogs whenever we are walking on the street and this has increased my relationship with people around me because most people do bring their dogs to my compound for mating.
One biggest challenges I have with my pets is that they are selective when it comes to food, they are not like other pets that eat regular foods, my pets eat only rice and snacks, and we know how things are expensive here in my country, I have to be buying this snack every two weeks because it doesn't last at all, my dogs will never eat what we are eating in the house because they will never eat anything like swallow.
Giving better treatment to my dogs is my utmost priority, I love to take good care of them by giving them first-class treatment and always monitoring their movement not to contact with any disease from other pets outside, we often have appointments with the veterinary doctor once in a month for proper check-up
Let us learn how to take proper care of our pets because they are our security and companion.
