How to raise a dog

Chapter 1: Living comfortably, bringing it home is definitely a huge change for you and your dog. The following seven tips can help you and your dog accept this change safely.

(1) Dogs leaving their mothers and companions to a new environment will certainly have an impact, so it will take a few days to get used to it. At the same time, we should also pay attention to its situation to ensure that its mood will not be disturbed.

(2) Usually, dogs will lose their appetite because of nervousness and anxiety during the three weeks when they come to a new environment, so dogs should be encouraged to eat more.

(3) In order to ensure the safety of dogs, they should be kept in pets when they are not at home.

(4) Don't let dogs touch plants, detergents and spare parts.

(5) put an end to any chance that dogs can slip away.

(6) If it is winter, you should give your dog enough protection.

(7) Never use a leash that can tighten the dog's neck.

Chapter 2: Healthy diet.

To have a healthy body, we must first have a balanced nutrition. The following six suggestions will definitely help your dog get a good physique:

(1) When buying a dog, ask the breeder or pet store clerk about the dog's eating habits and the kind of food it eats. The first week he comes to your house, he will still give him the food he used to eat in the breeder or pet shop, and then he will start changing food for him in the second week. In the initial stage of changing food, he must also give priority to old food and gradually increase the amount of new food.

(2) When choosing a diet, balance should be the main selection condition, and you can also ask other dog friends about their word of mouth.

(3) Never give nutritional supplements, because as long as it is high-quality dog food, it can provide what it needs.

(4) Large dogs and medium dogs are fed three times a day, and small dogs and toy dogs are fed four times a day.

(5) Let the dog eat in a quiet and comfortable environment.

(6) Let the dog drink fresh and clean boiled water at any time, and pay attention to the growth and weight of the dog.

Chapter III: Choosing Veterinarians

To ensure that your dog has a healthy body, you should have a coordinated veterinarian in addition to the diet:

(1) Ask the dog friend if he has any veterinary recommendation;

(2) Ask the breeder or pet store who sold the dog to you, and see if there are any familiar veterinarians.

(3) In order to ensure the safety of dogs, they should be kept in pets when they are not at home.

(4) Don't let dogs touch plants, detergents and spare parts.

(5) put an end to any chance that dogs can slip away.

(6) If it is winter, you should give your dog enough protection.

(7) Never use a leash that can tighten the dog's neck.

Chapter IV: First Inspection

In fact, after buying a dog, you should take it to the veterinary clinic for a thorough examination from head to toe within 72 hours. It takes about half an hour for a dog to see a doctor for the first time, and the doctor will also give you a routine check-up time for the dog.

(1) Take the existing needle card records and bug records of the same dog to see a doctor;

(2) Take stool samples from the same dog to see a doctor;

(3) Tell the doctor about any symptoms of the dog, such as sneezing and runny nose.

Chapter 5: Vaccination

Vaccination is very important for dogs. Although the dog gets antibodies from its mother's womb by sucking her mother's milk, when the dog is weaned at eight weeks old, there is no antibody protection! So you should take it to the veterinary clinic for foot vaccination:

(1) Usually, dogs are injected with parainfluenza, parvovirus, hepatitis, canine distemper and coronavirus at eight weeks, twelve weeks, fourteen weeks and seventeen weeks, but premature injection will cause excessive stimulation to the immune system of puppies.

(2) injection alone

(3) If you want to take the dog out when it is 20 weeks old, you should be especially careful, because at this time, the dog's resistance is insufficient and all the necessary vaccines are not injected, so it is very easy to get infected with the virus.

Chapter 6: Insect control strategy

Even if the mother dog has been infected with worms, or the living environment is extremely clean, dogs need to be infected with worms, because the parasite problem not only plagues dogs, but also infects humans.

(1) Dogs should be attacked at least four times, at the fourth, sixth, eighth and tenth weeks after birth. And in the last two weeks after the moth, it is necessary to strengthen the inspection of its feces.

(2) hookworm, whipworm, coccidia, etc. Will cause disease.

(3) When the dog is six weeks old, it can be treated with flea-killing drugs, but the veterinarian's opinion must be consulted first.

Handbook of small dog breeding

The first part is an overview.

Owning a dog

Your dog can be a loyal friend.

Will bring you a lot of happiness.

The owner of a dog should be: a special right

Be primarily responsible for dogs.

Have a long-term commitment to dogs

Your dog needs: time, energy and money.

Your dog is not a toy for people to play with and can be discarded at any time.

Remember, he is not alone, so please don't ask your dog with human demands.

Maybe you will find that your dog can repay your happiness for many years. As a report on them, they will repay us with more firm loyalty than human friends. Don't take the dog's loyalty and friendship for granted, it's what we worked hard to get slowly. Dogs need our patient education to understand our hearts.

Dog owners are a privilege, not a right. This privilege requires the dog owner to bear the responsibility of the dog for about 14 years. Whether we like it or not, we all think we have a responsibility for puppies because we brought them into this world.

The most important stage of puppy growth is the first 6 months. Three factors will affect the growth speed and quality of dogs: heredity, hormones and diet. Basically, you can only cook the day after tomorrow. The first two are congenital.

-End of the first part-

The second part is eating and drinking.

Protein (fish, meat and egg yolk), carbohydrates (dog biscuits, brown bread) and milk are needed for the growth of puppies to maintain a balanced diet.

Basically, milk is not nutritious enough for puppies. They need whole milk powder or goat milk. The most important thing is to supplement calcium for growing puppies and help them get healthy bones. At the same time, we should increase the intake of vitamin D, because calcium can't be absorbed without vitamin D. Other vitamins needed are A, B and E, which should be included in our daily diet.

Add 3 egg yolks to your puppy's milk rice every week.

The feeding scheme for 8 weeks is as follows:

First meal: 8-9 am

100 ml goat's milk, or milk made of whole milk powder, mixed with cereal or brown bread until it becomes paste, and a spoonful of honey can be added.

Second meal: 12- 1pm

50g minced beef, 50ml goat milk or whole milk powder. You can add half a slice of whole wheat bread.

Third meal: 4-5 pm

50 grams of meat (dog intestines, ground beef, baby dog food, or raw meat-raw meat can only be beef. Mutton, pork and chicken must be cooked. You can also add some cooked food (just chop two of our leftovers). This meal is the main meal. You can add some scrambled eggs, custard and some baby food.

The fourth meal: 9- 10 in the evening.

Tongdiyi meal

/kloc-feeding scheme of 0/2 weeks old

First meal: increase the milk to 300ml+ cereal.

The second meal: the meat is increased to100g, and minced meat is no longer used. Cut it.

The third meal: the same as when I was 8 weeks old, but I started to use dog food instead of meat and dog intestines.

In addition, you can give dogs some biscuits before going to bed to help them clean their teeth.

With the growth of dogs, the proportion of eating meat every day can gradually increase. With the increase of meat, milk can be reduced or replaced by milk. Dogs should consume at least 200 ml of milk every day before they are 6 months old. Some calcium supplement products need dogs 10 months old.

Sometimes, some puppies are allergic to milk, which leads to diarrhea. If your dog is allergic to milk, please use pet milk instead of milk, or goat milk instead. Or don't give them dairy products, but pay attention to calcium supplementation.

The big bone with bone marrow is the only bone that we can eat raw for dogs, because once cooked, it will break into pieces and lose nutrition.

Remember: don't give the dog roast bones, roast bones will be blocked in the dog's intestines and can't be digested, thus threatening the dog's life. Some dogs don't have the function of digesting bones at all, which can lead to constipation and vomiting ... before giving your dog raw bones, make sure they don't reject them.

_ _ _ Remember! ! ! ! Chopped bones and poultry bones must not be given to dogs! ! ___

Please make sure that when you give the dog the bone, it will agree to let you take it away at any time.

The specific training methods are as follows:

Take the bone first, let the dog chew the other end, then take it back, throw it to the dog, then take it away, and then immediately.

As his master, please make sure that you can take anything from his mouth anytime and anywhere, because one day they will eat something harmful to them, such as corn cob, peach kernel, stockings, poultry bones and so on.

In addition, please be careful not to let the dog baby be overweight, because too much fat will inhibit the growth of bones, leading to unhealthy or abnormal bone growth.

With the growth of dogs, dog food can gradually replace meat intake. Canned food can also be given from time to time.

Among them, mutton, chicken and pork must be cooked and beef can be eaten raw. In addition, beef liver is a very good food, but it can only be fed once a week because of its rich nutrition, and it must be cooked. Although dog intestines are a convenient and cheap choice, please don't always give them food, because if you eat too much dog intestines, you will no longer like to eat dog food.

Finally, please always make sure that the dog has fresh water to drink at any time.

-End of the second part-

The third part is the supply of nutrition.

Why is it important to supplement nutrition for puppies?

Calcium;

Puppies' bones and joints between them are very soft from birth until 12 months old. If you can feed them completely according to the above diet, your dog should be very healthy when it matures. Calcium can help the growth of bones, but please be careful not to overfeed. Dogs need a lot of calcium except when changing their teeth for 4-7 months, so please only increase it during this period.

Vitamin b:

Dogs need vitamin B supplements every day and all their lives. Yeast tablets are the easiest way. If your dog has an adverse reaction to yeast, please choose vitamin B alone.

In the natural environment, dogs can eat a lot of whole corpses (a little scary ...), including things in animals' stomachs, such as grain. Therefore, we rely on vitamins and minerals to help them maintain a balanced diet and make them closer to a natural diet.

-End of the third part-

Part IV Health

Choose your veterinarian.

Ask the surrounding veterinary hospitals and friends, which hospital is best at treating small things. Please make sure that you can contact them at any time, and they can explain any treatment to you carefully until you understand it. Many drugs have negative effects, so we must find out what drugs dogs take, what effects and negative effects they have. When using some special drugs, ask why. Try to solve the problem in a simple way instead of using a lot of antibiotics. Let the baby recover as soon as possible, you know, this is very unfavorable to their health. Even in developed societies, there are many excellent veterinarians who can help animals solve problems by natural methods instead of blindly using drugs.

Immune problem

Immunization is very important for dogs because they are always in danger.

I asked the doctor some specific academic terms, and his explanation was actually China's 6-needle combination. Generally, puppies need 3-4 injections to really complete immunization, so the specific vaccine name will not be translated.

Make sure that your puppy will not come into contact with people or animals that threaten his life before he finishes immunization. However, for the development of the dog, don't let it feel lonely. Let him go to more places and get to know more people, as long as he ensures that those places and people are healthy.

Dog plague

Your puppy needs to be vaccinated against canine distemper, hepatitis, flu and so on. These immunizations are usually given in 12 weeks. Please consult a veterinarian for details.

* * Remember, you should continue immunization 16 or 18 weeks * *

Once all immunizations are completed, your puppy can officially face the world. But in this 18 week, please make sure they have safe social activities.

Insect repellent:

Generally speaking, the dogs we bought from regular channels have been deworming four times in two months. Do it twice in eight weeks and 10 weeks, and then once every two to three months. You can buy medicine directly from the veterinarian and feed it yourself when you come back.

Anal gland:

Dogs can often be seen rubbing their butts on the ground. This is not to say that they need to repel insects, but the influence and stimulation of their anal glands. Take the dog to the doctor, and the doctor will tell you how to clean it. This problem may recur due to infection. Licking your ass, biting your tail or chasing your tail all indicate anal gland infection.

flea

There are flea lotions and sprays on the market. The most effective thing is dripping water (the kind that drips on the neck).

After a week of pest control, please do flea treatment next week. The principle is every other week, not every week.

Part V Indoor Training

Put the dog outside the door or in the newspaper immediately after the dog wakes up and eats. Slowly, they will know where to go, bb. When you see them squatting in the room to prepare bb, don't indulge. Be sure to pick it up at once, put it outside the door or in the newspaper and tell them: poop, hurry up. Or whatever you want to say until the goal is achieved. Then reward them and let them go home.

If you are not caught urinating everywhere, please don't scold them, which will only make them more confused. Of course, please don't hope your dog can handle the bb problem by himself at night, because they don't have that ability yet. Generally, dogs will not urinate at night after 4 months. So, when they are young, put more newspapers in the house, especially next to their nests.

The first day of bringing the puppy home.

Dogs always sleep with their mothers or brothers and sisters before coming home with you, so in the first few nights, they will be lonely and scared, and even cry.

The following suggestions may be helpful:

Play the radio (in a safe place)

A comfortable little cushion.

Safe toys

You can use the dog kennel of cloth sold in the world now, but it is not recommended to use sheepskin kennel or Mao Mao kennel, because the dog will tear off the Mao Mao on it, and only a handful of wool is enough to strangle the dog.

If you get up at night to see if they are all right, please just watch them once. Otherwise, you will find that you ruined their rest. And your puppy will want to see you more and more at night. Maybe he will be lonely and sad at first, but he will adjust himself. So don't worry.

Your dog's bed is his property and shelter. Please don't disturb them or ask them to leave when they are in the nest.

Puppies sleep a lot when they are young. But their senses are still working, so try not to disturb them when they sleep.

Is your puppy safe?

1, it is not easy for your dog to go out from the door or balcony (in China, it should be noted that the balcony is closed, at least semi-closed).

2. The door must be closed, and remember to close it when you go out, including throwing garbage and leaving briefly.

3, don't put pesticides, chemicals, etc. Put it where dogs can easily get it. Slugs and antifreeze look delicious, but they have no antidote-they'll just have to wait until they die! ! ! )

Don't take them to Gao Cao, where there are many parasites and fleas.

Don't put anything sharp around the dog, because your dog has only two speeds: running at full speed and sleeping.

6. Make sure that the place where the puppy lives is warm and dry, if the puppy is born in winter.

If the puppy is born in summer, please don't let it play all the time and give him more time to rest.

In addition, dogs like to bite things, such as shoes, chair handrails, curtains, wallpaper, wires and so on.

Please pay special attention not to let them bite the wires. Puppy's teeth are very sharp, just like tiger pliers. So, please check the house carefully to prevent them from getting an electric shock.

Check early.

Part VI Sporting Goods

* * Don't let your puppy exercise excessively, please read the following article carefully * *

12 months ago, only a small amount of exercise was given to the puppy.

12 months ago, the dog's bones were very fragile at both ends and joints. Only when they destroy toilet paper can they do this easily. Excessive exercise can damage their fragile bones and soft tissues. /kloc-After 0/2 months, dogs can control their own activities. Of course, it doesn't mean that dogs 12 months will stop exercising. We should let them know the world in moderation. Make friends. Please pay attention to the problems mentioned in the previous chapter. Before the immunization is completed, pay attention to the safety and health of the people you see and the places you go. Don't let your dog run or run until they are 1 year old. Eat slowly and prolong the time slowly. When dogs stop pestering you or big dogs, you can let them move freely.

Another problem is to make your dog play with other dogs carefully. Don't lock your puppy and big dog in the same room. Similarly, their cartilage will be damaged. Watch them play ball carefully. Once one of them starts to be rough, take the puppy away immediately.

* * Don't let others tell you what to do * * *

Please tell them confidently that this is how you treat the puppy, because it is good for them. This is your dog, and you hope it can grow up healthily. Be careful in the first year. Generally speaking, exercise is very helpful for the growth of puppies, but please don't overdo it. Also, be careful not to always ask the puppy to jump. ...

Even if your dog is fat, don't increase their exercise, but reduce their intake until their weight returns to normal, and then increase their exercise and food until they reach a balance.

On the road:

Remember that dogs will have special reactions when they are particularly flustered on the road. Be sure to keep them safe-be sure to hold them with a rope when you walk on the road or let them go when you get to a safe place. Maybe your dog is obedient and other people's cats and dogs are not obedient. You know, dogs react much faster than people. So be sure to hold on to your rope.

Travel by car:

Don't let dogs' heads stick out of the window, because there will be a lot of dust, which may hurt their eyes.

Every year, many dogs get heatstroke because they stay in the car. You know, parking in the parking lot is very hot, even if you leave a window crack for the dog, it is not enough. In addition, remember that the sun is moving and the shade is moving. After an hour, the sunshade on your roof may be removed, and your dog will not be able to take off his thick fur.

Behavior:

Dogs may be rebellious and provocative from the third month. At this time, we must say "no" to them. The attitude must be tough. 18-month-old male dogs are another period that needs care, especially when they are with other dogs. Don't let them growl or be aggressive. Some bitches have the same situation.

Try not to let your dog run after other dogs when you go out. Sometimes dogs fight with each other. If two dogs are already fighting, please don't try to drive them away from the beginning. You'll only get bitten. It's no use throwing water at them. The best way is to have two people. One person will hold the dog's hind legs, then the dog's head will droop, and another person will grab it and take the dog away.

There are also many dogs that are naturally aggressive, such as bullfighting. When you meet such a dog, you must stay away. ....

-End of Part VI-

Part VII Training

Basic training:

Let them know their names and "no", and they can start learning at any time, even from birth. But please don't expect your puppy to understand the difficult meaning, and if these trainings are carried out too early, your puppy will be confused and depressed, which will dampen their enthusiasm for learning (I think the same is true for children's education, and it can be ignored if they talk too much). -_-! ) Puppies will react strongly to compliments and food rewards. If you need punishment, please try not to fight, but choose focused scolding.

In addition, puppies can be sent to dog schools to study.

-End of Part VII-

Part VIII Growth

All male and female dogs, except those who have been sterilized, will always have periods of desire in their lives. In estrus, bitches have a strong desire to mate. At this time, they must be strictly guarded to ensure that they will not break out and will not wander. Male dogs also have periods when they are eager to mate, so they should be kept under strict supervision as their owners.

The first estrus of a bitch is usually 7- 14 months, and the time of the first estrus varies from individual to individual, and then there will be a second estrus in 7- 12 months. Each estrus takes almost 3 weeks. In the meantime, their activity space must be restricted. In addition, it should be noted that other dogs should not approach her easily. (Simple example, if! ! )

Their first estrus should be allowed to pass naturally. If it is inconvenient, they can choose to put the dog in a cage (usually 7- 17 days, but not necessarily the same). As a final solution, they can choose sterilization. But pay attention to diet after sterilization, especially bitches, which are easy to eat more and are overweight.

How to take a bitch in heat out for exercise?

Try to choose a park or green space without other dogs (it's a bit difficult in China, but please try to look below). At the same time, when you go home, you must hold on to the rope to make sure that no other dogs follow, because the meat pad on the bitch's foot will give off its own flavor and attract the surrounding male dogs. It is important that there are many wild dogs in China.

If your bitch has an unexpected mating activity, please take her to the veterinarian for an emergency injection immediately to terminate the pregnancy. @! * $ (#) guarantee that she won't get pregnant. This injection will prolong estrus and may lead to uterine infection in the future. So it is best not to allow this kind of accidental mating. The more injections, the greater the chance of infection. The probability of pyometra is the highest. Once it happens, hysterectomy should be performed immediately.

Keep the dog in heat in your sight, let her sleep in the house, and tell everyone in the family that he will never go out to play by himself unless he is led by a rope. It often happens in the dog's estrus. We think that the male dog must never touch the female dog, but in the end the female dog is pregnant. Therefore, please treat your dog in strict accordance with the above methods.

pseudopregnancy

Some bitches will have some false pregnancies, for example, they will secrete milk for a period of time after estrus. Generally, she will spend this period peacefully. However, some bitches have breast pain and need to see a veterinarian.

Copy:

To be honest and objective, it is best to leave the task of breeding to professionals, but if you really decide to breed with your dog, please ask as many professionals as possible. For puppies, a happy family is very important, and unless you make a good contribution to take care of the bitch and puppy two weeks after delivery, it is best not to have a dog yourself. If you still insist on breeding by yourself, please make sure that neither male nor female dogs have genetic diseases. ! !

Part 9 Dressing up

All dogs need to comb their hair regularly, which can help them clean up their fallen hair and prevent it from knotting. A brush with a handle and an iron comb can make your puppy's hair clean and shiny. If you plan to let your dog participate in the dog show in the future, let them "stand up" while grooming (standard hooves landing). At the same time, pruning is also a good time to help dogs check.

Skin: Look for any pain or redness.

Ears: check for stolen goods or running water, such as hay.

Eyes: See if the secretion is normal.

Nose: Check whether the nostrils are clean.

Mouth: Check your teeth. Puppies should pay attention to the shedding of deciduous teeth and the growth of new teeth.

Feet: Check for weeds or other debris, including legs. Hair between the toes may cause pain to the dog if it is knotted.

Bathing: There is nothing to say in this paragraph. It's all nonsense. There are three points:

1, use professional shampoo.

2. Take a bath regularly

3. If you need to blow dry in winter, make sure that the hair dryer will not burn the dog.

Vegetables, pasta, rice, grains or other foods are mixed together to ensure protein, fat and survival for health.

Elements and minerals. Basic food-meat and vegetables can provide all the balanced nutrients that dogs need.

Ground meat: the fat content in ground meat is not as harmful to dogs as it is to people, and it is the main source of calories in dog food. Pasta: children

Heart powder and noodles are important sources of carbohydrates. Because they are tasteless, they often need seasoning.

Animal heart: the heart contains a lot of fat, and its calorie content is twice that of kidneys or other internal organs, so it should be added when feeding the heart.

A certain moderation.

Liver: Like other meats, the liver is high in phosphorus and low in calcium. The liver is rich in vitamins a and B 1.

Fresh fruits and vegetables: Uncooked fruits and vegetables, such as carrots, cabbages and apples, are all good things to supplement vitamins.

Chicken: Chicken and turkey are easy to digest and have lower calories than other meats.

Elements needed to maintain the body. If you want to feed all your dogs vegetarian food, because vegetarian food is generally difficult to provide all the nutrients, for this reason,

Consult the veterinarian first.

For a new puppy, we must first understand its original living environment and habits. Generally, when a puppy enters a new environment, there will always be one.

The adaptation process must not be changed too much, let alone closed, so that the puppy will be upset and unable to bark because of loneliness and fear.

Stop, this is a normal phenomenon, don't think this is a pathological state. Put it with other puppies or next to its owner at night.

This kind of anxiety will be reduced. After three days to a week's rest, you will gradually adapt to the new living environment and become a member of the family.

Diet management of adult dogs

You only need to feed it once a day, and you will be full after a walk.

In less than a year, puppies have begun to enter the dog world.

After 8 months of birth, the frequency of breastfeeding can be reduced to 2 times a day.

1 year-old dogs, the feeding frequency should be changed to 1 time per day. At this time, the dog's physique has grown to be similar to that of an adult dog, and its stomach capacity has also increased.

Well, eating food at one time is enough to provide energy for the whole day. In order to keep the dog healthy, the principle of feeding is to let it eat until it is eight points full.

Do it.

Feeding time must be fixed every day.

Feeding time can be chosen in the morning or evening, and it is best to feed after coming back from a walk, defecating, combing your hair and tidying up, so that's all.

Life is regular every day. Adult dogs that have just grown up are active and consume a lot of energy, so we must pay attention to providing them with rich nutrition and high calories.

Food.

In order to prevent it from getting too fat, try not to feed it other than dinner. But in order to age its teeth, bones and jaws,

Grow stronger and occasionally give it some beef bones or pig bones with high calcium content to chew. Eating too many bones is not good. Give it twice a week.

That's enough.

Usually indoor dogs live longer than large outdoor dogs. Although every dog is not exactly the same, it is generally called active period when it is 2-7 years old.

After 8-9 years old, it is equivalent to middle age.

From then on, dogs will gradually lose their vitality and gradually appear the characteristics of old dogs. The metabolism of dogs has been declining in old age.

The intake of calories has also decreased, and health problems must be put on the agenda.

In the meantime, you can feed it some foods with low protein content and low fat content.

Heat consumption of small and miniature dogs

Compared with large dogs such as Pyrenees and Swiss search and rescue dogs, Pomeranian and Chihuahua are small dogs, which are miniature dogs kept indoors.

More calories are consumed per kilogram of body weight. Therefore, although small and large dogs don't eat as much as large dogs, they are more than their weight.

The latter, in order to meet more heat demand. So for small dogs, diet management is more important.

How to measure food supply

You can observe the dog's food intake for 3-4 days, then average it, calculate the average daily food intake, and then reduce it slightly according to this amount.

Let it eat up.
