Now, with the improvement of living standards, many people like to keep pets to accompany them. Dogs are loyal to their owners, so many people keep dogs as pets. However, many people are raising dogs for the first time and have no experience in raising dogs and may do behaviors that are harmful to dogs. The following is a summary of 6 dog-raising mistakes that novices are likely to make. I hope it can help you.
1, Walking dogs without leashes
Many people keep dogs, but walking dogs does not bring leashes, especially some smaller dogs, who think that small size is not a big threat. In fact, this is something that many people dislike, and not everyone likes dogs. Moreover, dogs without leashes are easy to run around, affecting people, and may cause accidents such as biting. This is not only a habit of harming dogs, but also a possible harm to people.
2, Not regularly deworming dogs
Regular deworming dogs is the most basic hygiene task for raising dogs. If you are not careful, the dog's body is easily affected by parasites, resulting in loss of appetite and malnutrition. Therefore, you must pay attention to deworming regularly, otherwise the dog's body will be unhealthy, the hair will not look good, and the body will become more and more fragile.
3. Give dogs soft food
Many owners believe that eating soft food is easier for dogs to digest and is good for their stomachs, so they often feed dogs soft food. In fact, eating soft foods often lead to more diseases in the oral cavity, and dental bacteria and tartar are more likely to grow. For dogs, there is no dry dog food to chew, which can easily cause bad breath and rotten teeth, and oral diseases can cause great harm to dogs.
4. Frequently feeding snacks, dogs are greedy, but if the owner is indulgent and often gives snacks to the dog, the dog will become more picky. The main function of snacks is to satisfy the desire to be rewarded, it needs to be controlled and cannot be fed frequently. Dogs will not like to eat staple foods after eating them for a long time, which is prone to malnutrition. So snacks can be used as a reward, as long as they are suitable.
5. Frequently let dogs stand. Many people train dogs to let them stand. This is very interesting and can attract people's attention, but it is not a good thing for the dog's body and it is very harmful to the dog's lumbar spine. This will cause the dog's lumbar disc to herniate and the hind limbs to become paralyzed when it is old!
6. Irregular diet
Healthy diet is very important for dogs. Irregular eating of dogs will affect their stomachs and intestines. If you feed the dog with leftover rice from humans, it will aggravate the dog's hair loss and tears, and the stomach and intestines will be burdened with a greater burden. Therefore, you cannot feed leftovers to dogs. You must also feed dog food regularly, just like humans eating normally.
