• Emotional support dog

    Posted by Community Member on August 31, 2021 at 3:32 am

    I am dog sitting my neighbors emotional support dog for the third time this summer. The dog has been professionally trained for her needs (which is anxiety) . Each and  every time I have the dog I really forget about my aches, pains, troubles and really enjoy myself. He is a constant companion and stays with me. I just wanted to let others know that while the dog can’t cure MG, they certainly can help improve your outlook and mindset.

    As a long time owner of dogs, I fully appreciate the calming effect of an animal that bonds to you. There is little they won’t do for you. The love is real and without conditions. Mine will crawl into bed with me when I can move any more. And then she will just lay there next to me waiting for movement. If you can and your lifestyle supports it, I’d recommend a good dog to anyone with MG.

    100% agree. My dog, while untrained, is my emotional support dog for sure! I am not able to walk him every day; but he’s older now and does well with it. MG seriously affects my vocal cords. Having my dog nearby should this happen when I’m alone is crucial to my sense of well being. If I’m going to die from vocal cord paralysis, I need my dog beside me!

    If you don’t have outdoor space, indoor drying racks, heated airers, or a well-ventilated room can work really well for drying bed linen. Good airflow is usually the key to getting everything dry quickly and preventing musty odors.

    The same approach applies to pet products too. Many pet owners regularly wash their dog bed covers to keep them fresh and hygienic, especially in homes with limited outdoor space. A dog bed with a removable, machine-washable cover makes cleaning much easier and allows it to be dried indoors without much hassle.

    Keeping bedding and pet sleeping areas clean is important for comfort and hygiene. Whether it’s household bed linen or a dog bed, proper washing and drying can help maintain freshness and create a healthier environment for everyone in the home. Check this store https://www.pet-empire.eu/
