Common mistakes to avoid

Avoid choosing on looks alone, overestimating how much exercise the household can realistically provide, and rushing a diet change. In Ahwa, also plan around the dry summer months rather than assuming a year-round routine. Watch for signs of overheating — heavy panting, drooling or lethargy — during peak afternoons.

Feeding and daily routine

Set meal times and stick to them; free-feeding makes it hard to notice when a pet goes off its food. Change diet slowly and only after the pet has settled. Ahwa's climate means summers are long and intense, so heat management is the single biggest priority, so hydration deserves attention. Walk early in the morning or after sunset when the ground is cool, never on hot pavement.
