Dear MEL Topic Readers,
Concern as pandemic puppies reach difficult age
Some workers have been used to working at home and are still having
difficulty re-adjusting themselves to work in the office after the Covid pandemic.
What a luxury not having to waste time commuting and spend that time with their
families and pets instead. During the pandemic, many people brought in pet
animals to seek companionship. In fact, many puppies were imported to the UK
during the pandemic, and the estimated dog population grew from 10 million to
11 million over two years. These pandemic puppies hadn’t been bred or reared
appropriately and grew in an unsocial environment. Indeed, it is quite
essential for dogs to get socialized with humans and other dogs in their early
days. Also, they grew up with the owner most of the time during the pandemic and
haven’t gotten used to staying home alone. Now, experts are finding an increase
in the number of dogs that show behavioral problems as dogs’ behavior often changes
between 2.5 and 3.7 years of age. So, those who started a companionship with pet
dogs during the pandemic are advised to watch their behaviors carefully and
socialize them properly. Also, if you miss your beloved pet dog in the office, so
does your canine partner at home.
Enjoy reading the article and learning about an aftereffect of the
pandemic among pet dogs.
