Things to note when raising flat-coated retrievers:

1. Feeding flat-coated retrievers should be done regularly, quantitatively, and at fixed points. Timing can develop the dog's timing conditioned reflex, secrete gastric juice, increase appetite, and promote digestion and absorption. Generally, adult dogs are fed twice a day, once in the morning and once in the evening. Dogs can eat a variety of foods, but the quantity should be relatively stable. The feeding location can be inside or outside the kennel, but dogs are generally fed in the kennel. The purpose of a fixed location is to keep the environment stable and easy to manage. Some dogs will refuse to eat and lose appetite when changing feeding places.

2. In addition to summer, you must feed warm food in other seasons. You can feed cold food in summer, but in winter and when the weather is cold, you must heat things. It should not be too hot, which may affect the dog's eating. Cold can also make dogs feel bad.

3. The coat of flat-coated retrievers can play a very good protective role in any climate environment, but their coat does not need too much trimming. If the trimmings are not It only requires ordinary daily care. And they don’t need to bathe too frequently. In different seasons, the number of baths will also change.

4. When the weather changes suddenly, you should avoid bathing them. Dogs are different from people. They will shed and grow hair on their own to adapt to the environment. In summer, when it is rainy or the air humidity is high, it is even more unsuitable to bathe your dog. Because after they are washed, the pores will open and the oil on the coat will be reduced, and it cannot be restored for a while. This means that they have lost a layer of natural protection and can easily cause various diseases.

5. It is best to take a bath in the morning or noon. After washing, dry its body with a towel immediately, and then use a hair dryer to dry the skin and coat. Never let it dry on its own.
