Can pets and people sleep together? This question has been controversial, but Dr. E wants to tell you that from the point of view of hygiene and cultivating pet independence, it is better not to sleep with pets and people. The specific reason is that Dr. E now takes dogs as an example to tell you.
Not conducive to independence
Most pet owners in the city go out early and come back late, and dogs and cats often have no time to take care of them, so they need to have a strong independence, such as playing with toys at home, not anxious, not destructive. If pets sleep with their owners, they are destroying their independence and making them think that their owners will stay with them all the time.
In order to cultivate the independence of pets, it is recommended that pets sleep separately from their owners. Just like children need to sleep separately from their parents when they grow up.
Confuse the relationship between owner and pet
Although dogs are social animals, the leaders of dogs also need private space. If the owner sleeps with the pet for a long time, it will give them the illusion that "the owner does not need private space, the bed is also my territory".
Since the owner does not need private space, it is not a qualified leader, the dog will think that he is the boss, the owner's status is lower than it, then the dog will become arrogant and strong.
Increased risk of infection
Sleeping with the owner can also increase the risk of disease. Dogs may carry zoonotic pathogens, such as fleas, which bite people as well as dogs and cats.
