For owners, it is a very pleasant thing to sit in the sun and pet their dogs on a winter afternoon with nothing to do. But what many owners don’t know is that regular petting of dogs not only makes the owners feel comfortable, but also has many benefits for the dogs.

1. Be able to understand the dog’s physical health status in a timely manner

For dogs, if their owners touch them frequently, they will be able to detect it immediately as long as there is something abnormal about the dog. For example, when owners pet the dog's body, if they find wounds or the dog shows pain or discomfort, they can know that there must be something wrong with the dog's body. At this time, the owners can immediately send the dog to the pet hospital for treatment. Therefore, the owners' daily petting is a daily physical examination for the dog.

2. Let the dog cooperate with the doctor’s treatment in the future

For dogs, getting sick is inevitable. And if you get sick, some owners may be able to deal with it themselves, while others must be sent to a pet hospital for treatment by specialized doctors. At this time, if the owners often pet their dogs at home, the dogs will also become accustomed to the doctors' stroking and touching during treatment. But if the dog is rarely touched at home, once the doctor examines their body, they will easily be frightened or even angry by the doctor's touch, making the examination unable to proceed normally. It also slows down the process of dog treatment.

3. Able to accurately grasp the nutritional status of dogs

For some dogs, especially long-haired dogs, because their bodies are covered by thick long hair, even if they are actually very thin sometimes, the outer layer of long hair will make them Appears tall and strong. For these types of dogs, if owners can pet them regularly, it will be easy to know the exact condition of their bodies, whether they are fat or thin, and whether they are malnourished. Therefore, for some long-haired dogs that look very slender, owners must not be fooled by their appearance, and must judge whether they are too thin through actual petting.

For some overweight dogs, once the owners find that they can only feel the meat but not the bones when they touch them, they should start to consider losing weight for them. Because for dogs, if they are too fat, they will suffer from affluence diseases such as high blood pressure just like humans, which will cause problems in the dog's heart, kidneys, etc.

also. It should be noted that if owners are petting their dogsDuring the process, if you can directly touch the dog’s uneven ribs or feel their sternum, pelvis, etc., then the dog must be in a state of being too thin, and the owners must give them good supplements in the future. . What owners need to remember is that only dogs that can vaguely touch part of the bones when touching are healthy dogs, and the rest are either too thin or too fat.

For the sake of the health of the dogs, owners should pet and caress their bodies more in the future!
