Winter is the worst time of the year to raise a dog. I believe that many dogs and dogs want to stay at home warmly and not move. Raising a dog in winter is more challenging than usual in terms of diet, keeping warm, exercising, bathing, etc. If you want your dog to survive the winter safely, you may need to be more careful than usual.

At the same time, in this season, the dog's resistance is relatively weak. How to protect the dogs from the cold and prevent them from getting sick has become a top priority for poop collectors. Here are some tips~

　01

Stick to exercise and maintain adequate exercise and play time

When the weather is warm, take your dog more time to bask in the sun and enhance your dog’s resistance through outdoor exercise. Jogging, walking, climbing, or playing Frisbee games with your dog can all help your dog improve his physical fitness and help him control his weight and avoid gaining weight in winter. Remember not to exercise after your dog is full, as this can easily cause digestive problems.

　02

When going out for exercise, you should pay attention to keeping warm and cold

As the weather gets colder, do dogs also need to wear clothes to keep warm? Not all dogs need to wear clothes in winter, such as adult dogs with thick and long fur, which are strong or prone to obesity. If a short-haired dog wears too much, body heat cannot dissipate, and it is easy to catch a cold. Wearing clothes, shoes and hats may also affect the dog's mental and physical health, so wearing clothes is unnecessary. Therefore, all dog owners, please do not let your dogs suffer because of your pursuit of beauty~

　03

Take effective measures to prevent colds

In order to prevent dogs from getting sick, dog owners should vaccinate their dogs on time and take effective measures to prevent colds. If the indoor temperature is not high, they can add some cotton kennels or thicken the dog's kennels. To avoid catching cold, it is best not to use electric blankets. Dogs are easy to bite the electric blanket, and it will also interfere with the dog's ability to protect itself from the cold. If some dogs need to use it for special reasons, be sure to put more pads on top of the electric blanket. Several layers, don't leave the power on for a long time.

Secondly, clean the kennel and replace the dog mat frequently, which is beneficial to the health of the dog and keeps the indoor air fresh; at the same time, be careful not to place the kennel in a place with drafts.

Prevent winter diseases and let dogs spend the winter safely

DownNow, everyone should beware of these diseases that dogs are very likely to get in winter

Infectious diseases: such as canine distemper, canine parvovirus, canine infectious hepatitis, canine coronavirus infection and canine adenovirus type II infection, etc. In winter, the temperature difference between day and night is large, and the dog's resistance decreases. If it catches a cold, it is easy to contract the virus. These diseases are not contagious to humans. If you find that your dog is anorexic, lethargic, vomiting, diarrhea, fever and other symptoms, seek medical attention promptly.

Joint problems: Dogs with joint problems must keep warm in winter. The dog owner can apply more heat compresses to the dog.

Skin diseases: Some owners are afraid that their dogs will freeze, so they let their dogs wear shoes for a long time. The non-breathable shoes may cause eczema. You can wear it when going out in rain or snow, but try not to wear it when you get home~ In winter, dogs should not take baths too often, as they are prone to catching colds and getting sick, and contracting winter-prone diseases. Once every half a month is enough. Be careful when bathing. Keep warm. The bath liquid should also be chosen specifically for dogs to prevent hair loss and skin peeling.

Okay, I’ve talked about some minor issues that dogs need to pay attention to in winter. Have you learned anything? It’s hot and cold in winter. Remember to take good care of your little owners. They must have complete nutrition and prevent diseases. Don’t rush!
