Loneliness is the biggest enemy of your dog. You may not always be at home. Hence, your dog has to spend long hours in a lonely apartment.

Walking on a less congested road can keep your dog happy.

2) Socialize Your Dog Properly

City apartments may not be a big one. Hence, your dog has to behave well. Your neighbors won’t welcome your dog’s barking and aggressive behaviors. Moreover, a dog should not poop at any place. That’s why you should train your dog well.

Try to introduce your dog to your neighbors. You should train your dog to control its barking and aggressive behaviors. Your dog should know – how to stay in a small apartment and how to behave in a public place. So, train your dog to make it civilized.

4) Use A GPS Tracker

A new city means new people and new geography. Therefore, if your dog gets lost then it may not come back. Every year thousands of dogs in the city get lost. Hence, you should protect your dog intelligently. You can use a GPS enabled dog tracker. This tracker can help you to find your lost dog in the city.

5) Keep Veterinary Contacts At Hand

Your dog may suddenly become ill or your dog may meet an accident. So, you have to prepare yourself to solve these problems. A city has many veterinary hospitals. You should always keep some contacts from these hospitals. These veterinary hospitals can save your dog in an emergency.
