PET TIP: Pet tip: what would be a perfect world to me is no chained dogs. If you realized how easy things could be if you had a fenced area where your pet could be safe and comfortable, you would have fenced ages ago. To tie a dog can be dangerous both for the dogs physical health but for its mental health as well. Consider a fenced area, it is not that expensive and everyone will be more content.
