When we raise dogs, many times if we don’t pay attention to them, the dogs will get sick and injured. It’s really a sin! But dogs that are too cautious are very delicate and easy to get sick, and they often feel like this - —It doesn’t matter if you do it, or if you don’t do it! In fact, it is not the case. As long as we master the methods and methods, many problems will be easily solved! Let me tell you some methods on how to care for and prevent Dabradora from getting sick!

Avoid sick touching

1. Caress the Labrador retriever thoroughly

From the time of puppyhood, the whole family petting the Labrador Retriever can help the Labrador Retriever prevent diseases.

The advantage of this is that even slight abnormalities in the body can be detected early. This will play a big role in disease treatment. For example, often touch the Labrador's ears, mouth, tail, limbs and inner sides, back, chest and other parts. If there is trauma or bad smell, pain, boredom and other symptoms, the owner will be able to detect it immediately. In other words, stroking the whole body of a Labrador every day is equivalent to a daily health check, and doing so is conducive to developing the obedience psychology of the Labrador.

The advantage of this is that after the Labrador dog gets used to being stroked, even if it suffers from a disease, it is easier to conduct a comprehensive examination and implement treatment.

When Labrador retrievers become sick, they are usually sent to a pet hospital. If the Labrador is not accustomed to being touched, some will be frightened and some will get angry when the doctor conducts a comprehensive examination and palpation of the cause, making the examination and diagnosis impossible. In addition, some Labrador dogs even go crazy when the stethoscope comes into contact with the body, preventing the diagnosis from being fully completed.

Unlike humans, Labradors can tell where it hurts and where it feels uncomfortable. Therefore, it is important to perform a thorough and careful examination by touching the entire body.

To avoid accidental touching

1. In addition, if you often touch the Labrador's body, you can also find out whether the Labrador is too thin.

Labrador retrievers, in particular, seem to have pretty good nutritional status. But in fact many of them are malnourished. Although a fat Labrador is not worthy of praise, in order to enhance immunity to diseases, a Labrador that is too thin is not acceptable. Rather than raising an obese Labrador, it is better to have a muscular Labrador that is more resistant to disease and adapts to climate changes. With this idea in mind, touch your Labrador's entire body and check for the following points.

*Whether your fingers directly touch the uneven ribs

*Whether your fingers directly touch the Labrador's sternum, back bones, pelvis, etc.

​If it can be touched, the Labrador is too thin. The normal state is that the finger can vaguely touch part of it. Of particular note are Labradors raised outdoors. Even if many owners pet their Labradors, they only touch the Labrador's head and lower jaw when feeding and walking.

From the day the puppy becomes a member of the family, he must gradually adapt to the way of being caressed by family members or other people.
