American Staffordshire Terrier (detailed introduction)
Some breeders do not have much time to look up information due to work reasons. We know how to raise dogs, so they usually take care of their dogs based on their own subjective judgment, and often what we think is the correct way to raise dogs is likely to have a great impact on dogs. So what are the common mistakes in raising dogs? After understanding them, we should try to avoid them as much as possible.
1. Bathe your dog frequently. If you find itching or other problems, wash your dog more frequently: bathing once every 1-2 weeks is more appropriate. Human skin is acidic, while dog skin is alkaline. , the structure and texture of human skin are completely different, and it is much thinner than human skin. Frequent bathing will destroy its natural protective oils and cause a variety of skin diseases.
2. Feed dogs what we eat: Feeding dogs with human food for a long time will not only fail to meet their body’s nutritional needs, but will also have a greater impact on the pet’s mouth.
3. Animal liver is rich in nutrients, and dogs also like to eat it, so they should be allowed to eat more: liver contains a variety of nutrients, and its unique fishy smell is loved by dogs and cats. However, eating liver for a long time can lead to obesity, skin itching, vitamin A poisoning, calcium deficiency, bleeding, and postpartum convulsions, which is very dangerous.
4. Dogs often chew big stick bones, which definitely means they are not deficient in calcium: the bone soup cooked in daily life is mainly composed of bone marrow, and most of the bone marrow is fat. Drinking bone soup can supplement it. Not calcium, but mostly fat. Even if a dog eats bones, it does not guarantee that it will not be deficient in calcium. When a female dog gives birth, she consumes a lot of calcium, and the calcium contained in meat bones cannot guarantee good absorption.
5. Pet hospitals are all scammers, just give the medicine yourself: The bodies of dogs and humans are very different, and many human medicines may cause fatal allergies when used in dogs.
6. Respect dogs and mate freely: Some owners let their dogs choose their mates freely, and they don’t even know the breed of the male dog. The personality and size of the puppies born in this way are difficult to predict, and After mating between dogs that are too different in size, the female dog may be at risk of dystocia due to an oversized fetus.
We must try to avoid these common mistakes in raising dogs. Dogs cannot be raised based on their own random judgments. What we think may not necessarily apply to dogs, so we must pay attention to it. .
