SIMPLE LIFE HACKS EVERY DOG OWNER SHOULD KNOW

IF YOUR DOG SUFFERS FROM ALLERGIES,

PUT OLD SOCKS ON HIS PAWS TO KEEP HIM FROM

LICKING THEM RAW. YOU CAN TAPE THEM ON

USING VET WRAP. USE ONES WITH GRIPS

(SLIPPER SOCKS) FOR SMOOTH FLOORS

USE PILLOWCASES TO COVER YOUR DOG’S BEDS

AND MATS, THAT WAY YOU CAN JUST SLIP THE CASE

OFF AND WASH IT WHEN THEY GET DIRTY

STUBBORN PUPPY DOESN'T WANT TO TAKE ITS

PILLS? PILL POCKETS TO THE RESCUE! THIS

INGENIOUS CREATION ENCASES PILLS IN A

DELICIOUS COATING THAT HIDE THE PILL UNTIL

IT'S TOO LATE. YOUR PUPPY WON'T EVEN

NOTICE THE PILL WAS THERE 

USE SHOWER CAPS WHEN BATHING YOUR PUPPY

TO PREVENT WATER AND SOAP FROM GETTING

INTO THEIR EARS OR EYES

CREATE A "DO NOT FEED"PUPPY LIST OF ALL

THINGS THAT ARE TOXIC FOR YOUR DOG (I.E.

CHOCOLATE, ONIONS, GRAPES, ETC) AND POST

IT IN A PLACE WHERE EVERYONE CAN SEE IT

(INCLUDING GUESTS). NOW EVERYONE KNOWS

WHAT THEY ARE ALLOWED TO GIVE YOUR PUPPY

YOU CAN ARGUE THIS IS NOT A "HACK" BUT IT'S

STILL SOMETHING ALL DOG OWNERS SHOULD KNOW.

LEARN DOG CPR (IT CAN LITERALLY SAVE YOUR DOG’S

LIFE). IT MIGHT EVEN BE HELPFUL TO PLACE A

GRAPHIC LIKE THIS ONE ON YOUR REFRIGERATOR

DOOR WITH THE VET'S NUMBER WRITTEN ON IT.

(THIS WILL BE ESPECIALLY USEFUL FOR YOUR

DOG SITTERS)

IF YOUR DOG EATS TOO FAST, PUT A TENNIS BALL

IN THE FOOD BOWL. THIS WILL ENCOURAGE YOUR

DOG TO EAT SLOWER BY HAVING TO MOVE

THE BALL OUT OF THE WAY

PLAY CLASSICAL MUSIC TO CALM YOUR DOG.

RECENT STUDIES HAVE SHOWN THAT CLASSICAL

MUSIC RELAXES AND CALMS NOT JUST

HUMANS BUT DOGS AS WELL

KNOW YOUR DOG’S BODY LANGUAGE. DOGS CAN’T

TALK LIKE HUMANS BUT IF YOU KNOW HOW TO

READ THEIR BODY LANGUAGE, THEY CAN

COMMUNICATE QUITE EFFECTIVELY
