It is crucial to know whether the dog has any pre-existing health problems, allergies, particular medical conditions or whether it requires regular administration of medication. Knowing your dog's medical history means you can provide the right care and react appropriately in an emergency. My second point concerns the dog's behaviour: its habitual reactions, fears, triggers for anxiety or aggression, as well as its preferences for socialising with other animals or people. This helps to adapt the environment and interactions to ensure your dog’s safety and the people around it.

A typical day might start with a morning walk with the dog to allow it to stretch and relieve itself. Then give them their food and fresh water. During the day, play with them in the garden or indoors, using interactive toys such as balls or frisbees. I could try to teach them new tricks or offer them sessions of cuddling. However, it is essential to adapt to each dog's individual needs and to ensure that they receive appropriate attention, activities and care throughout the day.
