How should I care for a Shiba Inu?

First, prepare essentials such as a dog bed, dog food, chew toys, treats, a leash, and a potty area, keep the environment clean, and bring the Shiba home. Then handle deworming and vaccination to prevent disease.

Shibas are lively and energetic with high exercise needs and love going out, so walk them daily to avoid destructive behavior from excess energy. Finally, they are stubborn and strongly territorial, so start training early to improve obedience.
