6 things you must not do with a dog, otherwise it will harm it~

In daily life, we often see various dog-raising scenes. Some owners take care of their dogs meticulously, while others may have misunderstandings about their dogs’ maintenance for various reasons. This article will explain you in detail six things that you must not do when raising a dog to avoid adversely affecting your dog's health.

1. Dog kennels are never cleaned. Dogs' kennels are where they rest and sleep on a daily basis. If they are not cleaned for a long time, bacteria and parasites are easily breeded. This may not only cause problems such as itching and hair loss in the dog's skin, but may also cause the dog to become infected with other diseases. Therefore, owners should regularly clean their dog's kennels to maintain a dry and clean environment.

2. Let the dog eat until it is full

Many owners are always worried that the dog will not be full and keep feeding. However, excessive eating is very bad for dog health. The dog's gastrointestinal system is relatively weak, and excessive eating can easily cause indigestion, diarrhea and other problems. In addition, excessive eating may also lead to obesity in dogs and increase the risk of illness. Therefore, the owner should arrange his diet reasonably according to the dog's age, weight and activity.

3. Feed the dog leftovers

Although some owners will feed the dog with leftovers, this method is not scientific. Human foods contain too much salt, oil and other ingredients for dogs, and some foods such as chocolate and grapes are poisonous to dogs. Long-term consumption of leftovers may lead to unbalanced nutrition and frequent health problems of dogs. Therefore, for the sake of the health of the dog, the owner should choose special dog food and supplement nutritional supplements appropriately.

4. Raising a dog on the balcony

Some owners keep their dogs in a balcony or courtyard, which may have adverse effects on the dog's health. First of all, the space on the balcony or courtyard is limited, and the dog cannot move freely. Being in a limited space for a long time may lead to psychological problems for the dog. Secondly, if there is no shade facility on the balcony or courtyard, dogs may easily cause heat stroke when exposed to the scorching sun. Therefore, owners should provide the dog with plenty of room for indoor activities and make sure they have enough shade.

5. Walking your dog to play with your mobile phone

Many owners like to play with your mobile phone when walking their dogs, which is very dangerous. Because this will distract the owner and cannot always pay attention to the whereabouts of the dog. Once an unexpected situation occurs, such as a dog being hit by a car or lost, the consequences will be unimaginable. In addition, walking the dog and playing with mobile phones may also affect the interaction and communication between the owner and the dog, which is not conducive to cultivating a good relationship. Therefore, owners should concentrate on walking their dogs and establish good interactive relationships with their dogs.

6. Eating snacks casually is a favorite of many dogs, but giving them casually snacks is not conducive to their health. Too much snack can make dogs picky and partial to eating, resulting in unbalanced nutrition. In addition, some snacks contain high sugar, high salt, high fat and other ingredients, and long-term consumption may have adverse effects on the health of dogs. Therefore, the owner should choose the right snacks and control the amount and frequency of feeding.

In short, raising a dog requires the owner to have a certain degree of professional knowledge and patience. Only by scientific feeding and reasonable care can dogs grow up healthily and happily. I hope this article can help you better understand the precautions for raising dogs and care for our little pets.
