Humane Society offers pointers for pet owners
When
we were kids, we and our dogs roamed the woods freely, but times have
changed. The woods have become subdivisions and people and their dogs
are required to stay inside their own yards. From a dog’s point of
view fences are much preferable to being tied to a stake but, for
various reasons, many owners choose the latter.
If
you must put your pet on a stake the Marshall County Humane Society
offers a few pointers. Check your pet frequently throughout the day.
You may think you’ve taken care of everything that could tangle or
snare the chain but, like children, dogs can do things you never
thought of. And once they get tangled they can strangle in just a few
minutes.
Dogs on chains need lots of extra
exercise and affection. There they are, nailed to one spot all day
every day when their every instinct demands that they investigate,
explore and hunt. A good daily run and romp and some quality time with
their person can alleviate a lot of their frustration.
Some
reachable shade and plenty of fresh water are imperative for staked
animals, especially during the summer. Heat stroke is a real
possibility for these pets when the water bowl turns over and the chain
won’t stretch to the shade.
If you’ve recently
moved to a new spot check out the new yard. More than one animal was
lost in recent flash floods because the new owners didn’t realize their
yard would become a small lake for a few hours after a hard rain. If
you’re wearing a chain and staked to the ground it doesn’t take long to
drown.
Be aware than when you stake an animal to
one spot you have become totally responsible for its physical and
mental well-being. You are its only source of nourishment, shelter and
communication. Maybe it would be easier to build that fence after all.
