Pet dogs
When dogs come to our home, responsible and caring owners will take good care of the babies. But did you know that there are some bad habits that can cause dogs to get sick or even die? Please try your best to get rid of these wrong old habits and let your dog thrive
Q: Bath your dog frequently. If you find that your dog has problems such as itching, you will wash it more frequently.
R: It is more appropriate to bathe once every 1-2 weeks. Human skin is acidic, while dog skin is alkaline. The structure and quality of dog skin are completely different from human skin, and it is much thinner than human skin. Frequent bathing will damage its natural protective oils and cause a variety of skin diseases. .
Q: Our family loves the dog the most. We feed it whatever we eat.
R: Feeding dogs with human food for a long time is actually harmful rather than loving. The nutritional composition of human food does not fully meet the growth needs of dogs. If a dog waits for its owner's food at the dinner table, it will develop bad habits and affect its normal diet. And many human delicacies are harmful to dogs.
Q: Intoxicating products for humans are so effective that they must be suitable for dogs as well.
R: Because the pH levels of human and dog skin are different, items used by humans can cause dryness, aging and hair loss in dogs’ skin. Use pet shampoo. If it is almost unavailable in your local area, you can use neutral shampoo for human use, which must be fragrance-free and non-dandruff-removing. You can also use a gentle baby bath. Once itching or rash occurs, discontinue use immediately.
Q: Animal liver is rich in nutrients, and dogs also like to eat it. Just let them eat as much as they can.
R: Liver contains a variety of nutrients, and its special fishy smell is liked by dogs and cats. However, eating liver for a long time can lead to obesity, skin itching, vitamin A poisoning, calcium deficiency, bleeding, and postpartum convulsions, which is very harmful.
Q: My dog is the most well-behaved. If you don’t take it out, it can hold in its bowel movements forever.
R: The dog is not herePenetration within the scope of its own activities is its talent, but it is not necessarily beneficial to its health. It should be trained to develop the habit of defecating in the bathroom, or given enough opportunities to go out and urinate, but attention should be paid to actively cleaning up excrement. Adult dogs should not hold urine for more than 10 hours. Holding urine for a long time will cause a variety of diseases of the urinary system and bring great pain to the dog.
Q: Your dog often chews big stick bones and drinks bone soup. I am sure he is not deficient in calcium.
R: The bone soup cooked in daily life is mainly composed of bone marrow, and most of the bone marrow is fat. Drinking bone soup supplements not calcium, but mainly fat. Even if a dog eats bones, it will not protect it from calcium deficiency. When a female dog gives birth, calcium consumption is extremely high, and the calcium contained in meat bones cannot be properly absorbed. Puppies have weak digestion and cannot eat bones. Calcium deficiency in adult dogs manifests as restlessness, hot flashes, easy fractures, and laziness. The symptoms are similar to those of humans. Calcium supplements often include calcium powder, calcium phosphorus tablets or even calcium injections, or as directed by your doctor.
Q: Pet hospitals are all scammers. It’s okay to find some human medicine to treat dogs at home.
R: Dogs and humans are very different in stature. Many human panaceas can cause fatal allergies in dogs. Different types of dogs, the physical conditions of this dog and that dog are different, and the dosage is difficult to control. Moreover, the symptoms detected by the novice's eyes are often inaccurate or superficial, so arbitrary use of medication is extremely harmful. You should seek appropriate hospital and veterinary treatment and receive symptomatic treatment.
Q: Allowing dogs to love and breed freely is a sign of love and respect for them.
R: In the absence of relaxation, controlling the number of pets is one of the effective ways to make existing domestic animals happy. Blindly letting the dog grow up will not protect the happiness of the dog baby. Some owners allow their dogs to choose their mates freely, and even do not know who the dog's father is. The quality and size of the puppies born in this way are difficult to predict, which makes it difficult for future owners and reduces the chances of the puppies being loved. Moreover, after mating dogs of the same size, the mother may suffer from dystocia due to an oversized fetus.
Q: I didn’t let my dog eat drums when he was young, so as not to grow too big and appear to have no fun or lose his household registration.
R: Body shape is determined by breed, and diet is not the decisive factor. Dogs that do not eat well will not stop growing, but will become disease-ridden due to malnutrition and reduced immunity. , and even cause life-threatening injuries. Puppies should eat small meals frequently. If they fail to obtain certain nutrients during the most critical period of development, the dog will be weak throughout its life.
