Cuddling and showing affection

Cuddling and spending time with your pet is one of the most important things that you have to keep in mind when you decide to adopt an animal because affection helps their mental development.  

“Daily snuggles with pets are a very important way to bond with our animals, and, as long as the animal is open to receive them, the more the merrier. It should be noted that, just like humans, dogs do like to have alone time, as well. If you begin to pet or snuggle your pooch and they get up and walk away, do not restrain them and do not chase them. Let them have their space and try again at a later time,” says Devereaux.
