Even though we may love our dogs as much as ourselves or any other member of the family, the fact that they belong to a different species and therefore have different needs and behavior patterns needs to be realized. One major mistake that most of us end up making is that we offer the same foods that we eat or like to eat to them assuming that they should be treated just like other humans.

This so called good deed of ours actually may cause a lot of harm to our pets since their requirements of diet, exercise, love and comfort are different. A large dog with lots of hair does not need a warm blanket to sleep on in winter. Nature provides them with the required apparatus to keep them warm. But in case you have a dog that originally belongs to a different environment or region as your pet, you may have to see that he is comfortable in the new climate that you have brought him to.
