What to feed your dog during coronavirus lockdown is a tricky question. Let us examine the underlying problem in this situation.

Recently the Indian Prime Minister announced complete lockdown of the country. This is happening because of the coronavirus pandemic. This is a similar situation world wide. This Chinese virus or Wuhan virus is responsible for this. Now, several of my clients and friends who are worried about their pets are inquiring about what to feed your dog during coronavirus lockdown.

Why do you need to feed your dog during coronavirus lockdown in isolation?

And why there is a need to feed your dog during coronavirus lockdown in isolation. Now there might be a fair chance that there is no lockdown condition in your country. But if there are any cases of coronavirus being reported in your vicinity then you must practice self-isolation. Not just for yourself but for your family as well.

This is a highly courageous virus and it spread rapidly. This virus is spreading through the touch of the surface. If you touch surface and in any possibility, coronavirus is present on that surface then you are at risk of transmission. Well specifically saying that you will not be infected until an unless you touch your face. Particularly eyes, mouth, and nose. So, washing your hands with soap as many times as possible will help minimize the risk.

Practicing isolation is very necessary because this will help you minimize the chance of exposure to the virus. This virus doesn’t die instantly on surfaces around us. It survives for different lengths of time on different surfaces. So, there is a fair chance of getting infected with the virus if a high degree of isolation is not practiced.

Precautions to feed your dog during coronavirus lockdown.

There is so much available on the internet that you can yourself device a safe strategy. So, I will highlight what precautions I am taking. I am not visiting vegetable and fruit vendors. Instead, I place my order on the phone and ask them to deliver it on my doorstep.

Secondly, I am not paying any cash. Instead, I am using net banking to directly transfer payment into their account.

I leave the package to sit for around 2 hrs on my porch. Then I use a tub full of soap water to soak all vegetables and fruits for a few minutes. Then I take them out one by one and carefully wash them.

After this, I use a clean tissue to wipe everything and then bring them inside the house.

During the whole process, I am wearing a set of surgical gloves that I throw in the garbage along with all the packaging material brought in by the vendor.

Then I again wash my hands with soap inside my house.
