Now that we are entering winter, a great temptation is to sit on the couch at home and watch a movie on a cold late Saturday, for example. As no, accompanied by our faithful companion, that will not withstand a single moment to also accommodate our side, but must leave it? It is a purely personal matter, although we should always keep in mind some aspects before making the decision to let it climb on the couch. If we are talking about a small dog, the probability that fits on the couch at home increases when we are not present and don’t realize. In any case, if we chose to let it climb to the sofa we have to be aware of their hygiene and be particularly attentive to this aspect, since dogs shoes are your own feet, and if they are not perfectly clean, the result of let it romp on the couch will be equivalent to ours if we got with shoes on the sofa with all the street dirt and the risk that that means for our health.
