Icelandic Sheepdog (confirmed introduction)
The Icelandic Sheepdog likes to talk to people. He is a happy, sincere, fearless and good companion. For urban breeders, his shortcomings are his yelling and stubbornness, but for him as a guard dog and protection dog, this is his advantage. When raising an Icelandic Sheepdog, it is essential to help her bathe and groom herself regularly.
Keep common sense
When bathing an Icelandic Sheepdog, it is usually only when it is smelly and dirty. It should never be washed every three days, every two days, or even every day. Because this will wash away the protective film of its skin. Although it is clean and fragrant, its skin will be "weak and windless".
Washing once every seven to ten days in summer, and washing once every two weeks in winter is enough. It should be the most reasonable bathing time to help your dog bathe according to the level of his turbidity. Sick dogs and puppies (over 2 months old) do not need to be bathed. Since sick dogs and puppies have poor physical performance and weak disease resistance, bathing at this time will not only aggravate the condition, but also easily cause colds. If the coat of sick dogs or puppies is dirty, you can gently comb it several times with a comb or wipe it with a towel to clean it. Even for a healthy dog, the bathing time should be from noon to before dusk, and the dog's coat should be completely dry and blown. However, dogs that swim on the beach or come back from the rain must take a bath
An important reason why the Icelandic Sheepdog is overweight is to feed it the leftover food on the table. Although feeding it leftover food is fun, it can have serious consequences. One of them is naturally that the Icelandic Sheepdog has no idea who is the leader of the family. The leader is the first to eat. If the Icelandic Sheepdog is fed before or during meals, the status of the family will become unclear. In addition, table leftovers may not necessarily provide appropriate nutrition for Icelandic Sheepdogs. One way to reduce the weight of an obese Icelandic Sheepdog is to maintain the original feeding time but reduce the amount of food fed. However, by using this method, the Icelandic Sheepdog may reduce its whining complaints. Therefore, many owners choose to add as much vegetables as possible to their food. You may also wish to use a special low-calorie food, which is large in size and makes the Icelandic Sheepdog feel like it is getting more food. Icelandic Sheepdogs often don't like low-calorie food, but they will eventually eat it and graduallyGradually get used to it.
If the Icelandic Sheepdog only chews food slowly, there is no need to feed it anymore. Chewing slowly and slowly takes longer than eating in large gulps, so it will reduce body weight. If your fat Icelandic Sheepdog is a picky eater, it may take some time for him to adapt to a healthy diet.
Once your Icelandic Sheepdog starts dieting, you need to understand its weight clearly. If your fat Icelandic Sheepdog loses even a little weight after two weeks, it proves that your method is correct.
Natural exercise is also a good way to lose weight, but you must pay attention to the gradual progress. The characteristic of the Icelandic Sheepdog, which is actually raised in the wilderness, is that it has a very large amount of exercise. Therefore, the Icelandic Sheepdog is not suitable for living in the city.
