Some of the items it usually uses, such as dog food bowls, kennels, toys, clothes, etc., should be kept. It should be washed well and disinfected with disinfectant.

After cleaning, the owner should put on menstrual pants in time to prevent polluting the indoor environment, and menstrual pants can also play a role in reducing the number of chases by male dogs.
