Ensure enough drinking water
If you want to raise a good dog, you cannot do everything To proceed according to our own subjective vision, we still have to follow the rules. Many times our subjective judgments are not practical in raising dogs, and many problems are caused by our improper raising. In some cases, "sticking to the old routine" is more beneficial to the healthy growth of dogs.
1. Protect the dog’s drinking water
Protect the dog Dogs have access to clean drinking water at any time, and the water must be changed frequently. On average, at least 60 ml of water should be consumed per kilogram of body weight per day, while puppies, lactating female dogs, service dogs or in hot weather consume more water.
2. Transforming food requires a process
Dogs cannot transform their food overnight. They need to give the dog a proper process, otherwise it will easily cause intestinal discomfort in dogs. You can gradually replace the original food with new food until it is completely replaced.
3. Sequential diet
Feed according to small meals and frequent meals According to the rules, it is best to work on time, at a fixed point, and in a quantitative manner. After developing proper eating habits, it will bring us great convenience.
4. A stable diet
No matter what food you eat, it is autonomous Food or commercial food should contain the nutrients that dogs need, in sufficient amounts and in proportions of various nutritional ingredients that are consistent with the dog's size (small, medium or large breeds), psychological state (protection, growth, communication), age (young) Dogs, adult dogs, middle-aged dogs or elderly dogs), and the ratio should be consistent with the disease status if necessary.
5. Choose the right food
The first thing to consider is nutritional balance, followed by taste. For unsuitable tastes, dogs may be reluctant to eat. For dogs with special bodies, such as diabetes and obesity, corresponding prescription food can be used.
At the same time, the feeding method and the ingredients contained in the food are generally important. Therefore, when feeding commercial food, you must strictly follow the merchant's instructions. When feeding autonomous food, some assumptions should be avoided, namely "my dog eats what I eat" and "my dog eats what it likes to eat." Finally, there should be no table scraps, sweets, candies, cakes and chocolate in dog food.
Do not use medication blindly
6. Clean and hygienic< /strong>
Good hygiene and cleaning work is also a very important task. Food bowls and drinking water bowls must be cleaned every day. And disinfection can be carried out every once in a while. Ignoring hygiene can easily lead to germs infecting your dog, and then causing your dog to get sick.
7. Check the dog’s condition every day
Close We need to pay more attention to the dog's condition. For example, the dog's penetration and eating habits need to be paid attention to. In addition, you should also pay attention to the dog's behavioral problems. If you find that the dog's behavior is very abnormal, you should be alert.
8. Contact us immediately if you have any questions
After practice, Veterinarians can also become nutritionists for patients and healthy dogs. Talk to the veterinarian about some of the dog’s conditions, such as a persistent lack of appetite or excessive appetite, excessive weight loss or increase, persistent diarrhea or constipation, worrying health and behavioral problems, obvious thirst or appetite change. These may be symptoms of a common illness and require thorough investigation.
In addition, for some problems that cannot be solved by oneself, one should contact them immediately or send the dog to the hospital as soon as possible. Do not use medicine blindly to avoid confinement. Plays a role in the health of dogs.
