Improper feeding or neglecting details can lead to impaired health of your dog. Understanding and following the precautions for newbies in dog raising is the key to ensuring they thrive. Let us learn together and create a happy environment for our dogs to grow up!
Don't easily change the living environment of dogs
When raising a dog for the first time, do not change the living environment of puppies at will, but should let it gradually adapt to the breath of the air and its future living environment. Instead of roughly changing the space of its life from the beginning, it will make it at a loss and lose its sense of security.
At the same time, when the dog just arrives in a relatively unfamiliar environment, it will be very uncomfortable. It will keep screaming because of some wrong environment. At this time, as its owner, you need to prepare some water and food for it to create a warm and comfortable environment. Also put its nest next to your bed, and then put an old piece of clothing you have worn in its nest to reduce its fear of strange environments.
There are some specialties in taking a dog
At the beginning, you must be very happy to receive the dog, but because the puppy hasn't taken a shower for a long time, you must want to take a shower and hold him to play enough, but you don't know that for this reason, your dog may leave you.
Dogs are not adaptable to just entering a new environment. At this time, the dog's resistance is very low, but if you bathe the dog at this time, it will be very prone to illness. Wait until it adapts to the environment before giving it a bath. If you force it to bathe, it is very likely that the dog will catch a cold, have diarrhea and vomit. If it is heavier, it is very likely to cause a fatal disease such as dog distemper.
At the same time, you cannot bathe your dog frequently. If you bathe your dog frequently and use a lot of shower gel when washing, it will make the dog's skin very easy for diseases and insects to enter the dog's hair, causing the dog to get sick, etc. As for how often to wash it, it can be based on whether the dog's hair is living in or outside the house.
Feed food
For food feeding problems, but puppies can choose to feed less than four times a day. You can't feed your dog milk, just feed it water, as long as it is clean water. Especially onions and chocolates must not be given to dogs, and things made of salt cannot be given to them.
When feeding dogs meat, you must break up the meat, especially the small bones of chickens and ducks, and then feed them to the dogs. If you are feeding a puppy, you must not put too much meat, because the puppy's stomach and intestines are not fully developed enough. Too much meat will make its stomach and intestines unable to digest, causing diarrhea, especially feeding meat alone will cause it to digest, which will cause the dog to die in severe cases.
The sense of division is very important
You should tell the dog where the territory is. When it first arrives at your home, you should familiarize it with the environment around the fences and cages, and be familiar with the scope of its frequent activities in the future. Some places that cannot be entered must be planned in advance from the beginning.
Even if the dog is a little nervous, uneasy, and even trembles at the beginning, don’t hug it in advance at this time, but let it gradually adapt to its territory and then comfort it. This is of great help in cultivating it to develop obedient habits and carrying out various trainings in the future.
Never go out without a dog leash
If you go out without a dog leash, you will be injured in a fight, hit by a car, or run away, all because you don’t bring a dog leash.
For dogs who don’t know much about habits, you will lose control when there is an emergency. You neither understand the dog’s thoughts nor the dog will understand your orders. So if you want to take your new dog out, even if it is not adapted, you should not bring a dog’s leash. You can train it to adapt to the dog’s leash and develop good habits from the beginning.
Take out for fun, and you should not take it out for a walk too often, because the sun outside will make the dog very happy, and it can also breathe fresh air.
But if the puppy is only three months old, don't let it play outside by itself. You can choose to hold the dog outside and bask in the sun for a while, but you need to control the time it is outside and you can take the dog back to the house in about twenty minutes.
