It's time to share information. I believe that many people, like me, regard their own dogs as members of the family.
But, do you know? When taking care of dogs, doing some things too "diligent" may be bad for dogs.
A veterinary friend popularized this knowledge for me and shared it with you, hoping to help all the shovelers take better care of their own children.
1. Don't bathe your dog too diligently
Some poop shovelers are particularly fond of cleanliness and bathe your dog every few days, but in fact, if you wash too diligently, it will damage the dog's skin protective layer and easily lead to skin diseases. Generally speaking, washing once or twice a month is enough, or you can also decide based on the dog's specific situation and breed.
2. Don't change dog food too frequently
The dog's stomach is more sensitive. Frequently changing dog food to different brands or flavors may make the dog's stomach unable to bear it, resulting in digestion problems or even diarrhea. If you really want to try different dog foods, it is recommended to transition slowly to give your dog's stomach and intestines a process of adapting to it.
3. The more times you walk the dog, the better
Some shovelers think that walking the dog more is good for dogs, but in fact, excessive outdoor activities may increase the risk of dogs being infected with parasites and may easily make dogs feel tired. Walk the dog regularly and regularly every day to ensure that the dog has enough exercise.
4. Avoid overtraining
Training your dog is a good thing, but overtraining can make your dog feel stressed and exhausted. We should proceed step by step and give the dog enough time to rest and play.
5. Don't give snacks too "diligently" although snacks are a powerful tool to enhance your relationship with your dog, giving them too much will make the dog lose interest in the main meal after eating, and may easily lead to problems such as picky food and obesity.
6. Do not comb your dog's hair too frequently
Frequent combing your dog can indeed reduce hair and hair loss problems in your dog, but excessive combing may harm your dog's skin. Generally speaking, combing one or two times a week is enough.
Okay, let’s share it here today! If you want dogs, you must love them scientifically and don’t be too impatient!
I hope everyone can become qualified shovelers and let our furry children grow up healthily and happily! If you have any other questions, please leave a message and communicate!
