Take a dog's name: a short name will help identify the puppy. Try to use the same syllable name, and the changed puppy will soon be familiar with his name.
Choose a place where the puppy will live: You need to choose a quiet, dry, moisture-free, well-ventilated, warm in winter and cool in summer, and easy to clean.
Dog cages: electrostatic paint dog cages and stainless steel dog cages are the best. Wooden dogs are easy to bite and cause gastrointestinal discomfort, so they are not suitable. It should be enclosed for heat preservation in winter and ventilated in summer.
After deciding the resting place of the puppy, the owner must consider which places in the home or yard should be listed as forbidden areas. In order to make the training at home easier, you'd better limit the freedom of the new puppy at home and in the yard.
Everyone knows that puppies just like to bite. These things may include furniture, slippers, and pipes at home. But you should remember that it is very normal for dogs to bite indiscriminately, and you should provide safe toys to meet this demand. You must also put the kitchen garbage in the garage or higher place so that your dog can't touch it.
Feed: The main component of white rice is starch, and the leftovers or soup at home contain a lot of oil and salt. The owner often feeds the puppy with his own food, which will cause unbalanced nutrition, increase the burden on the puppy, and eventually develop bad habits such as picky eaters. Each feed contains various nutrients, calories, vitamins and other experts to cooperate with the puppy, which is the most suitable weapon for the puppy to grow and absorb quickly.
Tableware: stainless steel bowls are most suitable for eating, and stainless steel bowls with bowl racks are also selected for drinking, which is convenient for cleaning and avoids damage. In addition, in order to prevent the ears of long-eared dogs from mixing with dog food, the owner needs to choose a special conical bowl for long-eared dogs, and in addition, in order to keep the lake dry, he needs to choose a drip kettle.
Collar and chain: The collar must fit, but there must be a width of 1 to 2 fingers between the collar and the neck. Of course, the owner will also choose the chest and back traction belt, but I personally don't encourage it, because the puppy is not yet mature, and the chest and back traction generation may affect the normal development of the dog's chest shape due to improper use!
The elephant pen should also be hung around the puppy's neck in advance, so that the puppy can get used to this artificial restraint and avoid being unaccustomed to wearing a collar when he grows up, which will add trouble to his owner.
Beauty products: choose a comb suitable for dogs, gentle shampoo and nail clippers. Or add an earwax cleaner according to personal economic ability.
Bedding mattress: It must be made of pure cotton and can be disassembled and cleaned. A few nights before the puppy gets home, he may feel lonely or afraid of insecurity because he is far away from the environment where interest should have been charged, and he will whine or even shout when you sleep. You can use a low-volume radio, or a ticking clock, or put clothes or towels next to your dog when you are naked to calm his mood and let him sleep.
Feeding: when the puppy 1~3 months old, it is best to basically feed it four times. It should be noted that the change of new owners and new environment is a great test for weak puppies, so don't change the original food. It is most important for a puppy to adapt to the new environment within a week. A good seller will teach the new owner all the original eating habits of the puppy, so that the new owner can easily raise and sell the puppy.
Overeating and food changes can cause diarrhea. Don't give the puppy a certain food for a long time, which will lead to unbalanced nutrition and picky eaters. Partial eclipse habits can lead to obesity, malnutrition and overnutrition.
The health index of puppies is almost determined by the first year of feeding: why is it important to start correctly?
The proof is in the pet food. Because the pet food you choose in the first year will be the key to its development, health and growth after maturity. Therefore, choosing a good brand of dog food can give the puppy no more or less complete nutrition and avoid health problems. And help to strengthen the immune system and resist the invasion of diseases, enrich and extend the life of pets!
In the first year, puppies need vitamin H nutrition to live a healthy and happy life. On average, minerals such as fat, protein, calcium and phosphorus help to strengthen bones and muscles, and can provide enough energy for the growth and activities of puppies. However, if these nutrients are too much, it may also hinder the growth of your puppy and may continue to lead to serious health problems, such as obesity, bone imbalance, heart or kidney diseases. This is why we should be careful when choosing dog food diseases or even adding homemade food. Every animal has a physiological function close to human beings, and has its own uniqueness, so it is impossible to prepare animal food completely according to human standards.
Snacks: Owners want their pets to be the most special or obedient at any time. Therefore, taking snack training as a reward for training the puppy, or just having fun with it and eating a healthy snack, is the best way for you to interact with the puppy.
Note: The owner must know that some foods are healthy or leisure snacks for people, but they are deadly poisons for dogs.
1. Chocolate (deadly food)
Theobromine in chocolate is a poison to animals. It will reduce the blood flow to the brain, which may lead to heart disease and other fatal problems. The higher the purity of chocolate, the greater the danger to dogs. In layman's terms, it is like drugs in the human body. A small amount will keep the dog excited, and too much will lead to death. )
▲ Poisoning dose (small dog, 15~20 lbs /6~9 kg)
-milk chocolate: 8~ 12 oz (226 g ~ 340 g)
-Dark chocolate: 1 oz (28g)
▲ Poisoning symptoms
-Severe drooling-Frequent urination-Pupillary dilation-Rapid heartbeat-Vomiting and diarrhea-Extremely excited and energetic-Muscle tremor-coma
2. Onions (dangerous food)
Raw or cooked onions contain disulfide, which is harmless to human body, but may cause the risk of red blood cell oxidation in cats, dogs, sheep, horses and cattle, and may cause hemolytic anemia.
▲ The poisoning dose is 1 per week. Two small onions are enough to destroy the operation of red blood cells and affect oxygen delivery, thus failing to provide enough oxygen for the body.
▲ Poisoning symptoms
-Weight loss-fatigue, laziness-frequent wheezing-depressed mood-rapid pulse-weakness-membranous secretions in gums and mouth
3. Liver (dangerous food)
Liver is one of the favorite foods for dogs, and many snacks or dog foods contain liver. Eating a small amount of liver is actually good for dogs, but if it is excessive, it may cause nutritional problems. Because the liver contains high units of vitamin A, taking too much vitamin A may cause vitamin A poisoning or vitamin A overdose. (Many owners may have watched dog races, but they have never seen instructors use chicken liver to guide dog training, so they may think that all participating dogs can taste our food. Understand that the dog's coach only uses chicken liver as an attractant, and rarely really gives the dog a stomach, which is by no means the main food when feeding.
▲ The poisoning dose is about 3 doses of chicken liver (raw or cooked) a week, which may cause bone problems. If the dog has another vitamin A supplement, it should not be fed to the liver.
▲ Symptoms of vitamin A deficiency
-Deformed bones-Rapid development of elbow and spine bones-Weight loss-Anorexia, anorexia
4. Bones (dangerous food)
Don't feed broken bones like chicken bones. Bone fragments may pierce the dog's throat or cut the dog's mouth, esophagus, stomach or intestine. Don't eat even small dogs with big bones such as pigs and cows. In addition to calcium, bones also contain "magnesium", which absorbs water in the gastrointestinal tract, leading to constipation in dogs. You should know that dog constipation is more painful than dog diarrhea!
Note: all antidiarrheal drugs are marked with the content of "magnesium" for your reference!
▲ suffocation phenomenon
-The gums are pale and blue.-Breathe.-Open your mouth and breathe.-Scratch your face.-Breathe shallow and slowly.-Unconsciousness and dilated pupils
Note: if you want to feed the bones, cook them in a pressure cooker.
5. Raw eggs (dangerous food)
Raw protein contains an avidin, which will deplete vitamin H (found in vitamin B group) in dogs. Vitamin H is an indispensable nutrient for dog growth and fur health. In addition, raw eggs usually contain germs, such as salmonella. Feeding raw eggs to dogs will eventually lead to vitamin H deficiency. (It is a big misunderstanding to listen to netizens saying that feeding raw eggs makes dog skin shine. )
▲ Symptoms of vitamin H deficiency
-alopecia-weakness-growth retardation-skeletal deformity
Note: Hard-boiled eggs are excellent snacks for dogs and contain high protein and other nutrients. Only crude protein contains ovalbumin. If you want to feed raw eggs, please only use egg yolk, but still be careful of bacterial infection.
6. Raw meat and poultry meat (dangerous to death)
Dogs hunt animals in the wild, but their immune system can't adapt to poultry and meat raised by artificial science (especially now, some lawless people often add hormones or antibiotics to poultry feed)
The two most common toxins are Salmonella in poultry meat and Bacillus in meat (both of which are killers of acute enteritis in dogs).
Salmonella poisoning symptoms
-Poor appetite-high fever-diarrhea, diarrhea-dehydration-lower abdominal pain-feeling depressed and listless.
Symptoms of Bacillus poisoning
-Vomiting-stomachache-diarrhea, severe bleeding-shock-paralysis
7. Pork (feeding is not recommended)
Fat globules in pork are bigger than other meats, which may block the capillaries of dogs. Avoid pig products, especially silver culture containing sodium nitrate.
8. Milk (not recommended)
Many dogs are lactose intolerant. If your dog has symptoms such as farting, diarrhea, dehydration or skin inflammation after drinking milk, you should stop feeding. Dogs with lactose intolerance should eat lactose-free milk, dog food or human food, but the ingredients that people eat may not fully meet the needs of dogs.
9. Mushrooms (not recommended ~ fatal)
Edible fungi and ground mushrooms at home are harmless to dogs, but they should be avoided to avoid the danger of dogs eating toxic shavings by mistake when they go out in the wild because of their eating habits.
Basic toilet habit training: take the puppy home, preferably two hours after feeding or before feeding, to prevent motion sickness and vomiting from hurting the esophagus, and put it in a small paper box or hold it tightly on the chest to make it feel safe.
When you get home, you should first put it in the place designated by the Fourth Master, let it urinate, and then take it to get familiar with other environments at home, let it move freely to adapt to the environment, and don't hug it or chase it, which will cause it to be afraid. After he is familiar with the environment everywhere, take him to the dog cage to rest and wait for food, then take him to the place where he is required to urinate regularly, and then let him play with his family at home when he has finished urinating. If there are signs of defecation.
After every meal, take him to a fixed place to pee and let him know where his toilet is. If he wants to be in the newspaper, put it on the ground when he wants to pee. After several times, the clever puppy will defecate correctly. Then, we should praise, encourage and praise him. He is a good dog and a clever puppy. If he goes to the wrong place, he should correct it in time and clean it up so that he can't find it next time, because he is too young to control his muscles.
Repeat this several times, and it will take the initiative to pee in its toilet. If it is wrong, it will hug it and praise it. If it doesn't pee in its toilet, it will scold it. Cleaning the ground will make it completely tasteless, so it won't be found next time. Only when it should pee, will there be a slight smell that makes it want to pee. This will be remembered after about three or four days of training. This kind of training requires extreme patience and affection, and it is not clear to the dog in a few days. The owner needs repeated education to be effective!
Epidemic prevention and deworming: Before taking the puppy home, be sure to confirm the date of birth, the first vaccination and the first deworming with the original owner, and make detailed records!
Note: If you can't prove or be sure that the original owner has vaccinated the puppy, you can wait until the dog fully adapts to your home environment 15 days after returning home, take it to a trusted pet hospital for examination, and you can reschedule the vaccination period yourself, so as to better ensure the dog's health!
The first dose should be given on the day when the puppy is 45 years old. The vaccine is
The second dose was injected at 75 days old.
The third dose was injected with Liuhe 1+ rabies vaccine at the age of 105.
Note: Six-in-one vaccine includes the following preventive diseases: canine fever, adenovirus type II, parainfluenza, canine parvovirus, infectious hepatitis and leptospira.
Usually you go to the pet store to get the puppy back, and the pet company will claim that the puppy has had the first injection, but because the pet company will not give you the injection certificate, the veterinarian usually suggests starting with the first injection and giving the injection certificate.
A reputable kennel will drive away intestinal parasites such as coccidia and roundworms about one month after the puppies are born, and inject short-acting preventive injections (such as two vaccines) for 42-45 days. Two weeks later, the healthy puppy will be delivered to the new owner, and the new owner will be instructed to take long-term preventive injections (six vaccines) at the veterinarian when the puppy is three months old. Pay attention to the dog's health before injection. The weather has not changed much, and the eating environment has not changed.
Other puppy diseases that need attention:
Protozoan parasites: most of them are directly transmitted to puppies through the mother, such as coccidia, pear-shaped whipworm, hookworm and so on. This parasite is asexual and can live in the intestinal wall cells of dogs. When there are too many worms, it will easily lead to pernicious anemia and malnutrition in puppies, and in severe cases, it will lead to nutritional imbalance and death. Don't be careless
Cold: after buying a puppy to help it bathe, it will have symptoms such as loss of appetite, runny nose, cough, fever, sneezing, vomiting and diarrhea. Changing the environment, changing the owner and changing the food for the puppy is a great test for them. Don't rush to help him bathe. If it is too dirty, wipe it with a wet paper towel and wait for him to get used to the environment before taking a bath.
Dog kennel cough: The puppy has a good appetite and is very active, but it seems that something is stuck in his throat. Kaka Cough: If the dog coughs in the dog shop when buying a dog, it is likely to get this disease. This is an airborne virus. Pay attention to puppy nutrition or hospital examination and treatment to prevent canine distemper.
Rickets: The toes are separated and the front angle is "0" or "X". Calcium deficiency in bitches directly affects the bone growth of puppies. Pay attention to the management of kennels, the quality of feed and sunshine and air have great influence.
Gastroenteritis: Vomiting after eating and drinking water, which is caused by eating foreign bodies (bones, sawdust, plastics, paper, etc.) by mistake. ), food changes, chemicals, intestinal parasites, etc. Therefore, when no one is watching, don't let the puppy wander around. Dog cages are the safest.
The symptom is mucus and blood at the end of defecation, with more times and less quantity. You should fast immediately and take it to the vet for examination and injection of nutrients.
How to train? You can refer to the collectivization training in the information on Dog Man. It is comprehensive and has all kinds of training.
Finally, I hope you can successfully train an excellent and healthy dog.
