How to raise a Shiba Inu as an office worker: a complete guide to balancing work and pets
In recent years, Shiba Inu dogs have become a popular pet choice for urban office workers due to their cute appearance and independent personality. However, for busy office workers, how to balance work and raising pets has become a big challenge. This article will combine the popular pet-raising topics on the Internet in the past 10 days to provide office workers with a practical guide to raising Shiba Inu dogs.
1. Basic data on Shiba Inu feeding
| Project | Data/Recommendations |
|---|---|
| Daily feeding amount | Approximately 150-200 grams of high-quality dog food for an adult Shiba Inu (divided into 2-3 times) |
| exercise needs | At least 60 minutes a day, twice in the morning and evening |
| independent time | Can tolerate up to 6-8 hours of being alone (needs training and adaptation) |
| Bath frequency | 1-2 times a month (excessive bathing will destroy skin oil) |
| annual cost | About 8,000-15,000 yuan (including food, medical care, supplies, etc.) |
2. Time management plan
Based on the work and rest characteristics of office workers, we have designed the following schedule:

| 12:00-13:00 | Midday monitoring (optional) | Smart camera observation |
| 18:00-19:00 | Evening dog walking + training | Recruiting a dog walking service |
| 21:00-22:00 | Grooming + Interaction | Interactive toy replacement |

2. Vandalism of furniture
Xiaohongshu data shows that this is the biggest headache for office workers. Solutions: Provide enough teething toys; use bitter spray to protect furniture; consider using fences to limit movement during the day.
3. Fixed-point toilet training
Hot topics on Weibo#raisingpet strategy#. Key points: Establish a fixed toileting area; use inducers; be patient (usually requires 2-4 weeks of training).
5. Special care on weekends
According to Meituan’s pet service data in the past 10 days, weekends are the peak time for office workers to compensate for their pets. Recommended arrangements:
• Outdoor outing once a week (Shiba Inu needs a lot of exercise)
• Professional beauty treatment once a month
• Comprehensive physical examination every quarter
Conclusion:
Although raising a Shiba Inu requires time and effort, office workers can fully enjoy the fun of raising a pet through scientific planning and rational use of modern pet supplies. The concept of "cloud pet raising" that has been hotly discussed on the Internet recently also reminds us that even if we are busy at work, as long as we are attentive, we can still provide a happy life for our Shiba Inu.
