Vet names 5 things he would never do to his dog

A veterinarian has warned all dog owners about the dangers they can expose their pets to on a daily basis.

Thus, Dr. Marcus Dela Cruz, known as @thefriendlyvet on social media and who works as an emergency veterinarian in Berkeley, California, recently addressed dog owners in his new TikTok video to warn them against certain actions. Thus, the expert named five things he would never do with his dog.

Firstly, he does not advise visiting dog parks, because you never know what your four-legged friend will catch there – parvovirus, giardia, or another dog may attack him.

Secondly, Dr. Dela Cruz says he would never give his dog, Charlie, a bone or a stick because he doesn't want to deal with the consequences of a foreign body or a broken tooth.

Thirdly, he never walks his dog without a leash, because the risk of him jumping out into the road scares him much more.

Fourth, the expert said that he would never stop giving long-term medications, preventive medications, or vaccines to his dog, because it is much harder to treat a disease than to prevent it.

Fifthly, Dela Cruz noted that he would never "freely feed" his dog because he wants to control his food intact and check whether his apatite, which can be "an important marker of the underlying disease," has decreased.
