Raising a dog is not an easy task. You must always pay attention to your behavioral habits, because if you are not careful, it may affect the health and happiness of the dog.
Snacks are given too many
"Oh, look at its pitiful little eyes, just give it some snacks!" Do you think this often? But giving too much snack is not a good thing. If you eat too much snack, your dog is prone to picky food and you are unwilling to eat it for the main meal.
Self-feeling dogs
"I'm so tired today, I'll take it out for exercise tomorrow." Do you often say such words? Dogs need to exercise regularly every day! Long-term lack of exercise makes dogs prone to obesity and can also affect the health of bones and muscles. So, no matter how busy or tired you are, don’t forget to take your dog out for exercise.
Ignore oral health
"Dogs also need to brush their teeth?" Of course it is necessary! Dogs’ oral health is equally important. If you don’t clean your mouth for a long time, dogs are prone to tartars, bad breath, and even cause oral diseases. Therefore, it is necessary to brush your dog's teeth regularly or use special oral cleaning products.
Don't bathe your dog
Some owners think that the dog can clean his hair by himself, so they don't need to take a shower frequently. In fact, otherwise, the dog's skin will secrete oil and sweat, and the dust and bacteria are contaminated when going out. If you take a bath and clean it regularly, it is easy to cause skin diseases. Of course, you should not take a bath too frequently, otherwise it will damage the dog's skin barrier.
Ignore deworming management
"Deworming? So troublesome, my dog looks pretty healthy." Don't think so! Deworming is an essential part of the dog raising process. Dogs often go out to play and are easily infected with parasites. Once infected with parasites, it will not only affect the health of the dog, but may also be transmitted to humans.
Feed from time to time
Some owners feed them very casually, and only give them a meal when they remember them. This is not possible! The dog's stomach is very sensitive. Fed irregularly can easily cause the dog to be hungry and full, which may cause gastrointestinal diseases in the long run.
Beat and scold dogs at will
Some owners choose to beat and scold dogs to punish them when they make mistakes, thinking that this will give them a memory. But in fact, beating and scolding dogs at will not only hurt their physical and mental health, but also destroys the trust relationship between the owner and the dog.
Pet owners should still adopt guidance and correction methods to help the dog develop good habits and use some snacks as rewards, which will have better results.
