It is Christelle Crozier behavioral veterinarian who agrees to answer this question: what does my dog need to live (well)?
Do you know Maslow’s Pyramid?
Uh no.
This 5-level pyramid classifies by hierarchy the different needs of all living beings.
Ok, let’s start with ? Eating, drinking, sleeping of course except that Christelle Crozier provides details:
- a dog should not have access to food all the time, it does not correspond to his physiology,
- on the other hand it needs water constantly,
- he needs a comfortable place where he can withdraw when he feels the need, if this is not the case, he may be tempted to explain his discomfort more radically.
It is up to us to keep him safe, without using threats, without raising our voices inconsiderately, and it is also up to us to ensure that he has contact with other dogs.
Fascinating this Maslow Pyramid adapted to dogs. Treat yourself to the pleasure of listening to the entire column.
And thanks to Christelle Crozier.
