#13 Adult animals are allowed to walk in any weather.
Ideally, the dog should be outdoors for 3 to 4 hours a day (applies to apartment pets). For puppies, daily promenades are also arranged, but shorter and only on fine days. It is better to start your acquaintance with the street with short five-minute exits, further increasing their duration. In addition, babies living in apartment buildings should not be taken out for a walk in the first months of life, but carried out, since due to constant descents and ascents of stairs, the animal can earn curvature of the limbs.
#14 It is not recommended to walk the pet immediately after eating: the dog should have time for an afternoon rest and normal digestion of food
If the baby is reluctant to go outside, most likely, he simply did not have time to properly rest after the previous walk. In this case, it is better to leave the puppy at home, and postpone the "excursion" for another time. In the summer, St. Bernards suffer from the heat, so it is better to walk them before 12 noon or in the evening (after 17:00). It is more expedient to walk kids on a harness with a leather leash. Adults are taken out in a collar using a strong one and a half or three-meter leash.
#15 Saint Bernards shed intensively twice a year.
This process is especially rapid in long-haired individuals living in the yard. In pets, hair does not fall out so abundantly, but nevertheless, during the molting period, they also need to be combed out daily with a large-toothed comb. The rest of the time, representatives of this species are combed every 2 days. Short-haired individuals are less problematic: during the molting period, they only need a couple of combings per week.
