Pehea e mālama ai i kahi ʻīlio?

Hāʻawi i ka palekana

Ma mua o kou lawe ʻana i kāu ʻīlio i ka home, aia kekahi mau mea palekana e pono ai ʻoe e mālama i mea e hōʻeha ʻole ai ʻo ia iā ia iho:

• Hūnā i nā uea uila a pau, no ka mea, e aʻo ka holoholona i ka honua a puni, me ke kōkua o nā niho;

• Wehe i nā mea nahaha i kiʻekiʻe aʻe i hiki i ka ʻīlio ke hāʻule a kikeke paha;

• Hūnā ʻōmole o nā mea kemika o ka hale;

• Hana i ka pahu i hiki ʻole iā ia ke kūʻai aku i kahi pahu kaumaha a kiʻekiʻe.

Inā pono, hiki iā ʻoe ke hoʻopili i kahi ʻāpana o ka hale me kahi pā i hiki i ka ʻīlio ke neʻe a puni i kahi wahi palekana.

E hoʻomākaukau i nā wahi moe a ʻai

Pono ka wahi moe e palupalu a ʻoluʻolu. ʻOi aku ka maikaʻi o ka waiho ʻana i kahi maʻalahi o ka papahele, no ka mea i ka wā mua ʻaʻole e loaʻa i ka ʻīlio ka manawa e hele ai i ka lua ma ke alanui. Eia kekahi, ʻaʻohe drafts ma kēia wahi i ʻole e maʻi ka holoholona.

Pono ka ʻīlio i ʻelua kīʻaha: no ka meaʻai a no ka wai. ʻOi aku ka maikaʻi o nā metala, no ka mea ʻaʻole lākou e haki a maʻalahi hoʻi e hoʻomaʻemaʻe. Iʻole e hōʻino i ke kūlana o ka'īlio,ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o ka waihoʻana i nā kīʻaha ma kahi kū kūikawā me ke kiʻekiʻe hiki ke hoʻololi. Pono e waiho ʻia nā kīʻaha ma ka pae o nā kuʻekuʻe lima o ka holoholona. Pono ʻoe e hānai mau iā ia ma kahi hoʻokahi kahi e hoʻopilikia ʻole ai kekahi iā ia: no ka laʻana, ma ke kihi o ka lumi kuke a i ʻole ke alanui, akā ʻaʻole ma ka puka o ka hale.

E kūʻai i nā mea pāʻani

Ke ulu a ulu nā ʻīlio, piha lākou i ka ikehu, a ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o ke kuhikuhi ʻana iā ia i ke ala kūpono i ʻole e pilikia nā lako, nā kāmaʻa a me nā mea ʻē aʻe i manaʻo ʻole ʻia no nā pāʻani. I mea e pale aku ai i nā pīhoihoi maikaʻi ʻole, pono ke kūʻai ʻana i nā mea pāʻani hou aku no kāu pipi.

ʻO ka mea nui ʻo ia ka palekana: ʻo ia hoʻi, ʻaʻole hiki ke ʻoki ʻia nā ʻāpana liʻiliʻi i hiki ke ʻoki ʻia. Ua hauʻoli kekahi mau holoholona i nā mea pāʻani me nā squeakers, akā e mākaukau e waiho i kēlā mau mea i kēlā me kēia pō kahi hiki ʻole i ka ʻīlio ke kiʻi aku iā lākou. Ma muli o kona mau makahiki, ʻaʻole ʻo ia e maopopo i ke kumu hiki ʻole ke pāʻani a walaʻau i ka pō.

Mai hana nui i ka hele wāwae

Ma kekahiʻaoʻao, pono e neʻe nui ka'īlio, no ka mea, he mea ulu ia. Ma ka ʻaoʻao ʻē aʻe, ʻoiai ʻo ia e ulu ana, ʻaʻole pono ʻoe e hoʻopau nui iā ia me nā pāʻani. Pono e lawe i ka puaʻa ma waho wale nō ma hope o ka ʻae ʻana o ka veterinarian. I ka wā mua, he pōkole ka hele wāwae - ma kahi o 60 mau minuke i ka lā no ka huina o ʻelua a ʻehā mau hele wāwae. Ma ke alanui, pono e ʻae ʻia kahi pipi e kamaʻilio me nā ʻīlio huhū ʻole inā ua paʻa pono ʻia.

E koho i kahi meaʻai maikaʻi

Pono ʻoe e nīnau i ka mea hānai i ka mea i hānai ʻia ai ka ʻīlio, a hāʻawi mua iā ia i ka meaʻai like. Inā makemakeʻia, hiki ke hoʻololi i ka meaʻai, akā no kēia mea pono e kūkākūkā me ka mea lapaʻau a kali i kekahi mau pule. Pono ka hoʻololi ʻana i kahi meaʻai hou, i ʻole e hoʻoweliweli ʻia ka ʻīlio me ka ʻōpū ʻeha.

A hiki i ʻehā mahina, pono e hānai ʻia ka ʻīlio i ʻekolu a ʻehā mau manawa i ka lā, a laila hiki ke hoʻololi ʻia i ʻelua ʻai i ka lā.

E hoʻopaʻa i nā mea pono e pono ai

Ke ʻike ʻia kahi ʻīlio i loko o ka hale, pono ʻoe e kūʻai i nā huahana e mālama iā ia:

• Helu a palaki paha (e pili ana i ke ʻano o ke kapa ʻīlio);

• ʻOki kui;

• Shampoo kūikawā no nā ʻīlio;

• Nā huahana mālama waha;

• Kāwele.

Pono e uku nui ʻia i ke koho ʻana o ke kola: inā koho hewa ʻia, hiki ke hōʻeha i ka holoholona. Pono e kūʻai i kahi kola me kahi palena, me ka poina ʻole e ulu ka ʻīlio. Hiki iā ʻoe ke kau i ka medallion me nā helu hoʻopili ma luna inā holo ka ʻīlio a nalowale paha.
