1. Basic knowledge of keeping dogs

Common wrong dog love requires not only persistence, but also science.

Please get rid of these misconceptions as soon as possible so that your dog can thrive: 1. Mistake: Wash the dog frequently. When you find that the dog has itching and other problems, you should wash it frequently. Right:1-It is more appropriate to take a bath once every two weeks.

Human skin is acidic, while dog skin is alkaline, which is completely different from human skin in structure and texture. Dog skin is much thinner than human skin. Frequent bathing will destroy its natural protective oil and cause various skin diseases. 2. Wrong: Our family loves dogs best, and we give them whatever we eat.

Right: Feeding people's food to dogs for a long time is actually harm rather than love. The nutritional components of human food can not fully meet the growth needs of dogs.

A dog waiting for its owner's food at the dinner table will make it develop bad habits, but it will affect its normal diet. And many delicious foods of human beings are harmful to dogs.

3. Wrong: People's toiletries are so effective that they are definitely suitable for dogs. Right: Because of the different pH values of human and dog's skin, what people use will make the dog's skin dry, aging and depilated.

Special shampoo for pets. If you can't buy it locally, you can choose a neutral shampoo for people, and it must be a product without essence and dandruff removal function, and you can choose a mild baby shower gel.

Once itching or rash occurs, stop using it immediately. 4. Wrong: Animal liver is rich in nutrition, and dogs love to eat it. Just let it eat.

Yes, the liver contains a variety of nutrients, and its unique fishy smell is deeply loved by cats and dogs. But eating liver for a long time can lead to obesity, itchy skin, vitamin A poisoning, calcium deficiency, bleeding and postpartum convulsions, which is very dangerous.

5. Wrong: My dog is the best. He can hold his urine for a long time and stay indoors. Right: Dogs don't like to excrete in their own range of activities. This is their nature, but it doesn't mean it's good for their health.

It should be trained to develop the habit of urinating in the bathroom, or given enough opportunities to go out and excrete, but attention should be paid to actively cleaning up the excrement. Adult dogs should not hold their urine for more than 10 hour. Holding their urine for a long time will lead to various diseases in the urinary system and bring great pain to dogs.

6. Wrong: My dog often chews big bones and drinks bone soup, so it is definitely not short of calcium. Yes, the bone soup boiled in daily life is mainly composed of bone marrow, most of which is fat. Drinking bone soup is not calcium, but mainly fat.

Dogs can't eat bones without calcium deficiency. When a bitch gives birth to a baby, it consumes a lot of calcium, but the calcium contained in the meat and bones can't be well absorbed. In addition, the puppy has weak digestion and can't eat bones.

The symptoms of calcium deficiency in adult dogs are irritability, hot flashes, easy fracture and lazy running, which are similar to human beings. Calcium powder, calcium phosphate tablets or even calcium needles can usually be used to supplement calcium, or as directed by doctors.

7. Wrong: the pet hospital swindles money and it is no problem to find some medicine for the dog at home. Right: Dogs are very different from human bodies. Many human panaceas can cause fatal allergies in dogs.

Different breeds of dogs, this dog and that dog have different physical conditions, so it is difficult to grasp the dosage. What's more, the symptoms observed by layman's eyes are often inaccurate or superficial, so there is a great risk of taking drugs without authorization.

We should find reliable hospitals and veterinarians for diagnosis and symptomatic treatment. 8. Wrong: Free love and having children are love and respect for dogs.

Right: In the current relaxed environment, controlling the number of pets is one of the effective ways to make existing domestic animals happy. Let the dog breed blindly, and the happiness of the dog baby cannot be guaranteed.

Some owners let dogs choose their spouses freely, even the dog's father doesn't know, so it is difficult to predict the dog's personality and body shape, which makes it difficult for future owners and reduces the chance of being loved. What's more, after mating, dogs of different sizes may bring the danger of dystocia to their mothers because their fetuses are too large.

9. Wrong: I didn't feed my dog when I was a child, so as not to grow too big and make me look funny or I couldn't get an account. Right: The size is determined by the variety, but the diet is not the decisive factor. Dogs that don't have enough to eat will not stop growing, but will be plagued by diseases and even life-threatening because of malnutrition and decreased resistance.

Puppies should eat less and eat more. If you don't get the necessary nutrition during the most important development period, the dog will stay with the patient for life.

2. Dog tips

Health care of 2-month-old puppies. Puppies should have a regular life.

Feeding should be regular and quantitative and nutrition should be balanced. Dogs should not be allowed to develop the bad habit of picky eaters, leading to malnutrition.

Attention should be paid to prevent excessive vitamin (especially vitamin A or D) or calcium deficiency. Puppies should not eat too much, usually 7-8 minutes full.

It is forbidden to feed spoiled food, and it is best to clean the food basin every time to prevent diarrhea or food poisoning. It is necessary to pay close attention to the urine and feces of puppies to judge whether they are normal.

The frequency of defecation generally changes with the age of the dog. 1 month-old dogs several times a day, and about 3 times a day on average when they are 2 months old.

The frequency of defecation is related to the type of food: for example, when feeding meat and rice, the amount and frequency of defecation are less; Starchy foods are fed for a long time, with more frequency and quantity. Pay attention to the color, smell and presence of worms in puppy feces.

Normal feces are strip-shaped, moderately soft and hard, and usually pale yellow. But it is also affected by food, such as eating more meat or feeding some liver, and the feces are generally black.

The frequency of urination also changes with the age of the dog. 1 month-old dogs, 2 hours 1 time, 5~6 times a day in February.

Urine is light yellow, clear and transparent, which is beneficial to health. The first time I urinated in the morning, the color was a little darker, but if I found that the urine color was always darker, I would wonder if I was sick. It is best to go to an animal hospital for examination.

It's best to go to an animal hospital for a physical examination once a month, to test urine and feces, and to expel intestinal parasites if necessary. Attention: find an animal hospital with good reputation and facilities.

Puppies are afraid of cold, so keep warm whether in winter or summer. Don't let the puppy's abdomen land for a long time, which is easy to catch cold and cause diarrhea or cold.

Neither a puppy nor a puppy was suitable to take it for a walk on the road five months ago. Because the dog's bones are not fully developed, walking for a long time will lead to the deformation of the limbs; At the same time, it is very easy to get sick outside.

You can play and exercise properly indoors or in the courtyard. When the sunshine is not too strong and the outdoor temperature is not too high, the puppy basks in the sun, which is beneficial to bone growth.

Two-month-old puppies should be able to start good habit education. First of all, give the puppy a nice name, often call its name, let her know that it is calling her, establish a conditioned reflex, and let it come at once.

The habit education of fixed-point defecation can also begin. Although the puppy can't hold back the urine four months ago, it will urinate if it has urine, and it will urinate only four months later, but it can be taught step by step.

Preventive injection is very, very important! ! ! Two months after birth, the antibodies brought from the mother have almost been eliminated, and various viral diseases may occur at this time. Therefore, the most important thing is to vaccinate against canine distemper, canine parvovirus and infectious hepatitis.

Resistance (antibody) is produced about 2 weeks after vaccination. In about 2 months, if you haven't been vaccinated, you can directly inject anti-virus serum when the epidemic is prevalent or may be infected, which will directly enhance the body's resistance, and then vaccinate two weeks later.

Health care for 3-month-old puppies at this time can give puppies some basic education. Let him develop good eating habits in advance.

Dogs often play while eating, especially when eating dog food. If you find that they suddenly stop to play while eating, you should immediately take away their food pots for them to see, and you must wait until the next feeding. It usually gets better after that. If she eats well, she can be praised in various ways.

However, we must educate moderately and don't scold too much. 3-month-old puppies like to pick up things from the ground to eat, and sometimes they will eat unexpected things, such as buttons, pebbles, needles, nails, plastics and so on.

These foreign bodies are easy to damage gastrointestinal mucosa or cause intestinal obstruction. X-ray examination should be considered when puppies are found to have severe vomiting and abdominal pain. If it is determined to be obstruction, measures such as surgery should be taken in time, otherwise it will endanger life.

It is important to correct the habit of picking up food and eating in time. Excretion training should be started gradually, usually three times a day, and defecation is often about three times.

Puppies sometimes urinate because of excessive happiness or fear, which is a manifestation of emotional richness or tension. It is generally difficult to control, but it can disappear naturally in adulthood. The owner should pay attention to abide by its laws and fix the normal defecation place.

After vaccination at the age of 2 months, due to the incomplete development of immune mechanism and insufficient immunity, repeated injections are needed to enhance the body's immunity. 3-month-old puppies must be vaccinated against rabies.

Health care for 4-month-old puppies Four months after birth, deciduous teeth began to fall off and permanent teeth began to grow. At this time, their roots are itchy and they like to chew everywhere. This bad behavior should be stopped by giving some bones or biting them. Fix the stool twice every morning and evening, because if you eat too much, the amount will gradually increase.

After each defecation, check whether it is the same as before. Have a health check-up and urine test once a month.

After the first two injections, if necessary, you can strengthen the immunization again and repeat the injection (according to the requirements of vaccine use). It should be noted that with the increase of body weight, the nutritional needs increase, and at the same time, the calcium needs need to be met, otherwise the puppies are prone to rickets, which will lead to the deformation of long bones or joint swelling of limbs and the appearance of "O" or "X" legs.

Large dogs of medium size and above should pay more attention to the appearance changes of front and rear limbs. Adjust the balance of calcium and phosphorus in time, regularly irradiate ultraviolet rays (bask in the sun), and supplement the deficiency of vitamins A, D and E. Dogs should not wander outside for too long. Generally, 4-month-old dogs should not often walk on the road to prevent limb deformation.

Some dogs have to be trimmed and sheared from 4 months old, such as poodles. If you go outside to decorate, you must choose a beauty shop with good conditions and high reputation to prevent the spread of diseases and cross infection, because the puppy's immunity is still very fragile in April.

For hard-haired dogs, you can pull out a little fur every day at home to promote their growth. A 4-month-old puppy can take a bath twice a month, but it must be prevented from catching cold.

In the ear plastic surgery, the ear with unsatisfactory ear vertical effect can be corrected by sticking plastic plates in the ear or by other methods. Other knowledge about feeding, training, medical care and reproduction can be found here:/kupaixueyuan/chongwuquan/index.

9. Knowledge about raising puppies

Dog tips 1. Why do puppies like to bite? When the puppy is weaned for about a month, it is in the teething stage and will itch; When it is four or five months, it will itch because of changing teeth; It will take at least eight or nine months for the permanent teeth to stop growing completely, and then they will slowly stop itching.

In the meantime, they will bite and stop itching. I won't bite when I am an adult.

If you bite again, it may be psychological factors, insecurity and loneliness, and you want to find a master. Second, why can't puppies eat salty food? Is it because they lose their hair? Eating salty food has nothing to do with hair loss. Hair is supported by healthy skin.

Just eating too salty, over time, kidney and heart will have problems. 3. How many meals does the puppy eat a day? Some people say that dogs can't be fed at noon. Is it true?/You don't say. Puppies usually eat three or four meals before they are three months old; Reduce one meal six months ago and one meal before one year old; You can eat one or two meals after one year old, depending on the dog's vitality, body shape and fat.

However, for puppies around March, I'm afraid it's not very kind not to feed them at noon. In fact, there is a formula for how much dogs eat: dog's weight (kg) X 40 grams of dog food = 1 daily food intake (one day). Fourth, why does the puppy lose its hair? When the puppy is three or four months old, the fetal hair will become permanent hair. At this time, its hair will fall off badly, which looks strange and unparalleled. You can find bright and hard new hair on its topline.

In addition, seasonal molting can also lead to hair loss. For example, people who change their long hair into short hair in spring will lose more than a month, and those who change their short hair into long hair in autumn will lose more than a month, but it is not obvious. If a lot of dandruff falls from the whole hair, or the skin is different, it is a skin disease.

Some symmetry may also be caused by endocrine disorders. Bitches lose their hair badly during pregnancy.

My little dog often vomits, but he is in good spirits. What happened? Dogs and cats land on all fours, so the arrangement of digestive tract is parallel to the ground, while humans land on all fours and the digestive tract is vertical to the ground. Because of the participation of gravity, people are less likely to vomit; However, dogs and cats are prone to vomiting because of the lack of this gravity and the proximity of the stomach to the rectum, before defecation, when they are constipated, or when something is wrong with the food.

Sometimes, vomiting is a self-treatment process, because they are more comfortable after vomiting. But if you are in a bad mood, keep vomiting and have other symptoms, you must see a doctor.

Some small dogs will secrete stomach acid in the morning because of hunger, and they will also spit some sour water. At this time, they must immediately adjust their eating time to prevent gastric acid from corroding the stomach and esophagus for a long time, leading to problems in the upper digestive tract. Small dogs are more prone to nausea or vomiting, which is often the reason for their poor appetite or picky eaters. 6. Why do puppies like chasing cars? This is the dog's nature and a bad habit that can be corrected.

As mentioned above, dogs are natural hunters and like to chase moving prey, not only cars and pedestrians, but also others, such as dogs, cats and even birds, flies and cockroaches. Dogs like to chase. How to correct it? You can find a friend to sit in the car and prepare a bunch of empty cans. When the car is moving, you suddenly brake and throw an empty can at the dog, just like a bomber drops a bomb. After a few times, it will learn well.

Why does my puppy stink? The smell of dogs mainly comes from four parts: mouth, ears, skin and * * *. Periodontal diseases and dental calculus tend to stink.

Ear inflammation, ear scabies will stink. If the skin is sick, it will stink.

The biggest source of odor is the perianal glands on both sides of * * *, where secretions often accumulate and are squeezed out with defecation. This stench, like smelly salted fish, can't be forgotten when you smell it.

8. How to bathe dogs and cats? A little knowledge, but not sloppy. Dogs and cats have L-shaped ear canals, while humans are horizontal.

Therefore, before bathing, roll a cotton plug in the cat's ear canal, and then use oily eye ointment or eye drops (ingredients that cannot be combined with steroids) to prevent water from entering both eyes. Then squeeze the perianal glands clean, and you can wash them all over.

Whether it is cold or warm, it is best to use warm water. Remember to rinse the wool washing agent thoroughly, then dry it and blow dry it. 9. Can I give the puppy a bath in two or three days? Too many.

The skin structure of dog clothes is not as complete as that of human beings, so it has hair protection; Hair roots have sebaceous glands that secrete oil to protect the skin. This secretion makes the dog's skin slightly alkaline and can protect the skin from pathogens. I often bathe my dog and use a lot of shampoo. As a result, my skin was bare, as if I were opening the door to welcome the intruder.

As for how often to wash it, it depends on the length and vitality of the dog's hair and whether it lives indoors or outdoors. Wash it once a week or two in summer, and it is longer in winter. There is no absolute standard. In particular, it should be reminded that human skin is acidic, so the shampoo and soap used by people are not suitable for dogs (neutral is fine), and it is best to use shampoo specially for dogs.

Why do dogs like scratching? Scratching dogs is sometimes a cleaning job to tidy up their fur, but most of the time there are parasites and even skin diseases. Some long-haired dogs have fur balls because their owners have not combed them properly. At this time, the face lift will be very painful and itchy, and the dog will keep biting, which will make the hair ball bigger and bigger.

What if there are bloodsuckers on the puppy? This is a kind of tick, some people call it "dog bean" and "octopus", which is one of the two major parasites on dogs and cats; The other is fleas. The method of removal is the same, and it must be divided into two ways. Remove the above first, and then remove the environment.

You can soak the insecticidal powder in water and put on the insecticidal collar after washing it. When there are many insects, you must take a weekly medicine bath for several weeks.

Dogs that are too young to be vaccinated should not bathe casually to avoid catching a cold.

10. Some common sense about keeping dogs

First, we must pay attention to one thing. Many friends who have dogs for the first time should pay special attention: dogs are vaccinated to improve their immunity, not 100% immunity to foreign viruses, so don't let them contact other dogs or take them out for a walk when they are puppies. If it is in the sun, it is necessary to lead it, because dogs are naturally smelly everywhere, and some even eat it indiscriminately. Even if you are not exposed to the virus, you will eat some bacteria, which will damage your stomach. It's best to wait for the dog to go out for a walk after four months.

Second, you can't give the dog milk, you can only give it clean water, because the composition of dog milk and milk is completely different. Dog milk contains high protein, high fat and low lactose, while milk contains low protein, low fat and high lactose. These two components are just opposite. Puppy's stomach can't absorb and digest milk, which will cause gastrointestinal diseases such as diarrhea.

Third, feed dog food three times a day. 2/3 standard paper cups (2/3 softened paper cups) at a time, and remember to soak them in hot water before giving them to him. Never eat too much or eat indiscriminately. Dog food recommended by royal brand. If you want to supplement your dog's nutrition, you can add a cooked egg yolk every day. Remember to feed an egg yolk three times.

Fourth, don't feed the puppy food that is too cold or too hot, which will cause damage to the puppy's mouth.
