Why Install Dog Fence In Yards?
October 08, 2019 • At Home • Health & Wellness •
Introducing new pets into homes can be intimidating. After all, pet owners need a lengthy shopping list of items to get started including healthy dog foods; grooming tools; collars; leashes; and of course, toys! What many pet owners may forget about is a dog fence for outdoor playtime. When we think about fencing, we think about security; but there are other reasons to consider installing a fence for dogs in yards.
Healthy Smiles and Tail Wagging
Dogs need a chance to socialize with other animals; and when dogs run and play, they release endorphins that make them happy. Having a fenced-in area at home is convenient for homeowners that may not have a close dog park nearby or time to take pets for dog play dates. Additionally, dogs will be able to get fit by receiving the 30 minutes of daily exercise recommended by veterinarians.
Wildlife Protection
Homeowners will see wildlife roaming landscapes throughout the year in search of food; and some wild animals can pose a threat to pets. To protect pets from dangerous wildlife encounters, dog owners should build a dog fence. The best height and material used for dog fencing will be based on two factors: type of dog(s) owned and type of wildlife.
Tick Disease Prevention
Ticks are a year-round concern and come from wild animals like white-tailed deer - the number one carrier of Lyme Disease. To protect pets from tick-borne diseases, dog owners will need to separate domestic and wild animals with fencing.
Best Dog Fencing
Chain-link and electric fence are the most popular dog fence types on the market; however, for owners with small dogs, chain-link may be overkill; and electric fence harms pups both physically and psychologically. An alternative solution for pet owners is to install a fence made from either plastic or PVC-coated metal construction.
Summary
Dog fencing helps increases animal health and wellness by allowing dogs to freely run and play while at home. There are many types of dog fence on the market; but no one fence type is suitable for all dog breeds. Choose the fence that best fits your dog’s temperament.
