I firmly believe that everyone will take their own dogs to the pet shop during the whole process of feeding their dogs? But I don’t know if the pet owners have found that every time they go to a pet store, I’m very scared. Today I’ll share with you five reasons why dogs are afraid of going to a pet store!

1. Afraid of being abused

In many cases, pet owners send their dogs to pet stores. It is very likely that it is not easy to keep in the store. They often hand the dogs over to the pet store staff to help take care of them immediately. Some dogs are naughty, so it is very likely that some pet store clerks will give it a little punishment when the pet owner does not have it, or even perform a beating, in order to make the dog more behaved.

Therefore, dogs will have a shadow on pet stores, which is one of the reasons why dogs are afraid of going to pet stores.

2. Afraid of being manipulated by strangers

I firmly believe that many pet owners will take their dogs to the pet store to take a bath or do grooming. The people in the dogs don’t understand and are very resistant to touching them. Therefore, every time they go to the pet store, they are afraid of hugging the beauticians and other beauticians. This is also the reason why the dogs are afraid to go to the pet store.

3. Afraid of heights

Dogs are born with fear of heights. Everyone should know that when dogs are at high altitudes, they will be afraid of moving. In addition, the beauty shops are generally spiritual platforms, but in many cases, beautifying dogs must be done at high altitudes. Therefore, this is also why dogs are afraid to go to pet stores.

4. Afraid of being a medical care

Many pet owners take their dogs to pet shops just to provide medical care for their dogs. In fact, dogs are very afraid of medical care, such as manicures, ear cleaning, bathing, etc.

Therefore, in the long run, dogs will be reluctant to go to pet stores, and they are even afraid to go to pet stores for medical treatment!

5. Injured when you are beautifying and skin care, dogs usually take baths, manicures, ear cleaning and other services. If the dog has been injured when you have beautifying before, for example: when you are getting meat, bleeding, etc., if you are getting other conditions, the dog will feel that going to a pet store is a very, very easy to get injured, so it will be very afraid to go to a beauty shop.

If the dog at home is very resistant to the pet store, why not stay by your side at all. It can not only relieve the dog's anxiety, but also prevent the dog from suffering damage!
