Common mistakes you do in everyday life with your pets affect your pets in one way or the other as a pet owner. When your pet is not responding well to you, this means that you are not treating your pet well.

Owning a pet can really add value and joy to one’s life, but it requires certain things. It’s a serious commitment. Neglecting some essential aspects of pet care and training will have a significant impact on your newly adopted pet’s health or behavior.

1. Not Getting Enough Exercise by the Pet Owner

This is one of the mistakes that every pet’s owner makes, when the owners did not provide enough space for exercise and social activity for their pet, it results in another thing. This results in their pet’s dullness or weakness; they cannot form a special bond with owners, cannot react to your voice, and tries to ignore you.

Exercise is a basic need for every pet. Lack of exercise can lead to health problems and behavior issues. Some pets need more exercise than others, but most need more than simple walks. The same is the case with their lack of activity.

So exercise and activity is the main thing for your pet so try to make them exercise daily and take your pet for the outing which makes them mentally stronger.

2. Pet Owner Avoiding Training and Public Places

Not train your pet could result in great disadvantage to you and this is a serious mistake.  Don’t see training as a chore. When done positively, training is fun and enriching for pets. Teach your pet caution and to stay close to you in public.  Allows a pet to get used to things in the environment and various situations. Without proper socialization, pets can develop fears and phobia, lack of socialization can lead to behavior problems.

3. Avoiding vet check-up by the Pet Owner

• The mistake of having health problems is to prevent them in the first place.
• A routine veterinary check-up, once or twice a year, is an opportunity to review your dog’s overall health, diet, and lifestyle, and not just catch up on vaccinations and deal with obvious problems.
• This becomes even more essential when dogs are more than eight years old.
• Your veterinarian can advise you on better dog care and how to start adjusting your aging pet’s lifestyle to avoid problems in the future.

4. Neglecting Teeth Health

Many pet owners think dental health doesn’t care but they are wrong. Dental health matters a lot. To avoid this mistake, get yourself and your pets into a regular teeth-brushing routine is one of the best things you can do for your pet’s overall health and well-being. Many pet owners are too lazy to brush their pets’ teeth, but what they don’t understand is how many diseases and health issues can be avoided just by brushing your pet’s teeth a few times a week. There are many kinds of dental diseases like Halitosis and Periodontal disease. However, if your pet is unchecked this can become periodontal disease, leading to tooth loss and even systemic diseases like kidney failure and heart disease.

5. Over Feeding the Pet

But many pets are prone to overweight problems so you need to avoid the mistake of overfeeding for the proper health of your pet. Homemade pet food can be very healthy, home-cooked diets that aren’t correctly balanced for nutrition can do more harm than good. The same applies to raw food diets – when done right, they’re great; when it’s done wrong and it can be dangerous to pets. Pets need a healthy, well-balanced diet and lifestyle. You shouldn’t overfeed them. Letting your pets get overweight will shorten their life. The most expensive pet food brands aren’t always the healthiest option either.

6. Skipping Preventative Medicine

The mistake of not putting your pet on a flea, heartworm, or tick preventative causes great harm. These parasites can cause serious harm and illness to your pet and some can even be transmitted to humans. Therefore, it’s good for your pet to take preventive medicine.
