I can’t stand when you do these 5 things

1. To rely more on a breeder than a veterinarian

The very first thing that, according to Bozelka, can lead to great frustrations is when pet owners listen to a breeder rather than a veterinarian.

« Breeders are not medical experts, » he says, after which he adds that while some breeders are experienced and knowledgeable, others belong to the category of breeders, « who literally just tries to evade any responsibility. »

2. To ignore the veterinarian’s advice

Next point on the list: When owners ask their veterinarian what they would do in a given situation – and then do the exact opposite.

« Why do you ask me at all?!, » It comes rhetorically from Bozelka in his video.

If you still have no intention of following the council, why wasting both your own and the vet’s time?

3. To acquire a dog that requires a lot of exercise, without being able to give it that

Many people choose a dog breed based on appearance, without taking into account the needs of the breed.

Bozelka mentions the example of huskes, which are beautiful and intelligent, but also requires huge amounts of exercise.

One cannot expect a sled dog to thrive in a small apartment without the opportunity to run and use your energy.

The frustration often causes the dog to develop behavioral problems – to the great annoyance of the owner, who should have become better at the needs of the breed.

4. To select a pet based solely on appearance

As with Huskyer, Bozelka emphasizes the importance of examining the specific needs of every race before acquiring a pet.

« I can’t emphasize it enough: Don’t just buy a race because it’s cute! Do! Your! Homework! »

Pets are a prolonged commitment and if one is not willing to meet their needs, you might want to consider another breed – or another pet.

5. To complain about the waiting time of the Animal Hospital

It may be frustrating to wait, but according to Bozelka, it is rarely the staff’s fault.

« We know it’s frustrating. But the truth is that the wait is most often due to serious cases that require immediate attention. »

Animal hospitals prioritize life -threatening conditions first, which means that less acute problems will come in the back of the queue.
