Four major misunderstandings about raising dogs. Many people may know but cannot do it
In the fast-paced life of modern society, raising dogs has become a way for people to seek spiritual comfort. The loyalty and company of dogs bring endless joy and warmth to our lives. However, raising a dog is not an easy task, especially for novice dog shovelers who have entered this field for the first time, it is easy to fall into some common misunderstandings. These misunderstandings can sometimes even threaten the life and health of dogs.
Today, let's discuss the four major misunderstandings of raising dogs and illuminate the way forward for novices.
Deworming is an indispensable part of dogs' daily care. The presence of parasites not only affects dog health, but may also be transmitted to humans. However, some shovelers do not pay attention to this and may only deworm their dogs every six months or a year. This approach is extremely inappropriate because parasites are extremely harmful to dogs' health. Puppies should receive their first deworming 20 to 30 days after birth, while adult dogs should undergo deworming every three months to ensure the health of their dogs.
In addition, in order to save trouble, some shovelers keep their dogs in cages for a long time. Although cages can play a certain role in some cases, such as training puppies and ensuring the safety of dogs when unattended, it is extremely inappropriate to keep dogs for a long time. Dogs are born to love freedom and have a natural resentment to bondage. Dogs that have been kept in custody for a long time are not only prone to illness, but also become more irritable and may even have behavioral problems. Therefore, we should provide dogs with sufficient space for activities, so that they can run, play and feel the beauty of life.
In addition, some shovelers will put on shoes to their dogs in order to protect their paws. However, this approach is actually redundant. Dogs do not need to wear shoes, and some airtight shoes may also cause eczema, infection and other problems in dogs' feet. We should let the dog's paws touch the ground freely and feel the natural temperature and texture. In this way, the dog can maintain a healthy and happy life.
Diet is crucial to the health of your dog. Regular, fixed-point and quantitative feeding are basic requirements, and the health and balance of food are even more important. However, some shovelers feed dogs human food or leftovers for convenience or saving money. These foods usually contain too much salt and oil, which not only increases the physical burden on the dog, but may also cause the dog to suffer from insufficient nutrition, hair loss, and tears. Therefore, we should choose a natural dog food with low salt and high meat content for our dogs, while keeping the dog's diet light and occasionally paired with some nutritious vegetables. In this way, the dog can have a healthy body and vigorous vitality.
In short, raising a dog is not only a companionship, but also a responsibility. I hope every poop shoveler can treat his dogs with care, avoid misunderstandings, and give them a healthy and happy environment to grow. Only in this way can we establish deep feelings with our dogs and spend a good time together. Let us work together to create a better future for dogs!
