Complete collection of newbies with dogs: Problems that may arise when you just bought a puppy and solutions
In recent years, many elderly and widowed people or young people who live alone like to raise a dog to accompany them. But for newbies who have never raised dogs, they will encounter various problems. Today I will share with you some common sense you need to know about raising a dog. Let’s take a look together!
1. The vaccination and deworming dogs have been taken home for about a week and need to be vaccinated in time. I get three injections in the first year, one injection per month, and one injection per year after that. Be careful to try to avoid contact with other dogs before getting vaccinated, and do not take a bath to avoid getting sick. In addition, after vaccination, you must regularly perform internal and external deworming, because the interval between different deworming drugs is different, please read the instructions.
2. Feeding method
Try to choose to feed puppies with puppies. Pay attention to dogs six months ago soaking the dog food in warm water and then feeding it. In addition, if conditions permit, you can add some nutritional supplements. When a dog enters the dental change period, pay attention to avoid double-layer teeth. It is necessary to supplement calcium in time and feed it with harder dog food to grind its teeth. You can also prepare some teeth grinding snacks or toys to help change teeth.
3. Take a regular bath. After the dog has been vaccinated, it must take a regular bath. Dogs with longer hair can be washed once a week or so, and short-haired dogs can be washed once a month to once a month. Be careful to dry thoroughly after washing, otherwise the dog will easily suffer from skin diseases and you can also choose to take a bath in a pet store.
4. Clean teeth regularly. Dogs should clean teeth regularly after about six months, because some dog owners will feed the dog some food that people eat, which will cause bad breath. If you don’t want to smell bad breath from a dog, you can use dog toothpaste to help your dog brush your teeth, or you can use dog mouthwash and clean teeth powder. Friends can make choices based on their actual situation.
5. Regular trim
Dogs should trim their nails regularly. If the dog's nails are too long, it is easy to scratch people. Be careful not to cut the bloodline when helping the dog cut his nails. You also need to take care of your ears and eyes, clean up your anal glands, and comb your hair every day. If you are a long-haired dog, you must comb it thoroughly to avoid knots, as it is difficult to take care of later.
