Some friends often raise dogs without preparation, such as being given by others, picked up by sudden outpouring of love, etc. In short, you start raising a dog when you have no idea how to raise a dog. However, for novices, improper feeding may cause the dog to become sick or even die. Here are some taboos for friends who want to raise a dog or are just starting to raise a dog. As a novice dog owner, you must keep it in mind!

The first taboo: taking a bath

When your dog comes into the house, it may be smelly or dirty. You want to give it a thorough cleaning as soon as you enter the house, wash it, make it smell good, and then hold it and play with it. , but you don’t know it could kill your dog. Dogs will be uncomfortable and scared when they first arrive in a new environment. At this time, the dog's resistance is very weak. Taking a bath can easily make it catch a cold, and cause canine distemper and other fatal diseases to the dog. Therefore, when the dog is just brought back When you get home, be sure not to rush to give it a bath. If it is very dirty, you can limit its activity area, or use the dry cleaning method. In short, do not wet the whole body of the dog and give it a big bath.

The second and third taboos: eating meat and drinking milk

You may think that the dog is very weak. Looking at its pitiful appearance, you want to feed it something delicious. And you also like to watch your dog wolf down the food you prepared, but this approach is also wrong. The gastrointestinal tract of dogs, especially puppies, is very fragile, and they are very prone to vomiting and diarrhea. Meat and milk are both things that can easily cause gastrointestinal problems in dogs, and diarrhea is very difficult to cure when the dog is weak. , so you need to understand this dog-raising knowledge: the safest diet for dogs is dog food plus boiled water. Although it looks a bit bland, it will not cause any problems. In addition, you also need to ask the original owner of the dog what kind of dog food it originally ate. It is also best to let the dog eat the original dog food during the first period of time you raised the dog, and then slowly change it to other dog food. Dog food.

The fourth taboo: going out without a leash

Going out without a leash is a very dangerous thing in itself. Injuries from fights with other dogs, injuries from being hit by cars, and running away are all caused by not keeping a leash on your dog. For dogs who don’t know their habits very well, if you go out without a leash, you will lose control in the event of an emergency. You neither understand the dog’s thoughts nor the dog can understand your commands, so if you want Even if you take your new dog out without a leash, you shouldn't take it without a leash. You can train it to adapt to the leash and develop good habits from the beginning.

The fifth taboo: rushing to deworm

Deworming is very important for dogs, whether it is external parasites or internal parasitesAll insects need to be driven away. However, deworming the dog when it first arrives at your home will cause the dog to become more uncomfortable, causing the dog to get sick or become afraid of you. My suggestion is that for internal parasites that are not very serious, you should tolerate it for a while. For dogs with external parasites, you should isolate them from people, and it is best to keep them in a cage. Wearing a flea collar on your dog will also minimize frightening the dog. It is not too late to deworm the dog after he has adapted to the new environment, eaten well and slept well.
