In spring, everything comes back to life. Taking your dog out for a trip is a wonderful thing, but there are some things you should pay attention to.

1. Have enough drinking water to meet the dog’s needs at any time.

2. Don’t overeat. In order to keep dogs from being hungry, many dog ​​owners feed their dogs a lot of food before going out. The dogs start "post-meal exercise" before they have fully digested the food. Being full of food can easily cause gastric torsion.

3. The wind is strong in spring, and although the temperature is warming, the temperature difference is large. This is excessive for puppies who are young, have relatively low resistance, and have not been fully vaccinated as planned, and lack the ability to adjust to changes in the external environment. Exercise causes puppies to be tired and susceptible to diseases, especially respiratory diseases, such as common viral colds, infectious bronchitis, etc.

4. Most dogs get motion sickness. If this is your first time traveling with your dog, you should prepare toilet paper, plastic bags and other items in case you need them.

6. Dogs like to hold hard things in their mouths. When playing in the countryside, once you find that your dog is holding some items that should not be held in its mouth, such as stones, small pieces of wood, bones, etc., do not grab them immediately, but take advantage of them when they are not prepared. down to prevent the dog from swallowing foreign objects, causing esophageal obstruction or foreign body gastritis.

7. Try to avoid letting dogs run on steep mountain roads. Companion dogs living in cities, due to urban breeding restrictions, have much less exposure to sunlight than their counterparts in natural life. They are generally prone to calcium and vitamin D deficiency, resulting in insufficiently hardened bones. Greyhounds living in Beijing are prone to fractures of their limbs when running and jumping with their owners on mountain roads in the suburbs.

Tips: Although the spring weather is warm, sun protection is still needed. Dogs love to embrace nature. Letting them bask in the sun and take a nap at noon is a great enjoyment in their lives, especially the approachable spring sun. It can remove the yin energy accumulated by dogs in winter. Although the spring sun is not as bright as the summer sun, long-term exposure to the sun will still affect your dog's health due to excessive heat or direct ultraviolet rays. Therefore, shading is the first step in your dog’s health care in spring. When the sun is strong, you might as well add a curtain to shield your dog from the sun.
