Bichon Frize (Definite Introduction)
The joyful autumn is coming to an end. Are you ready for the dog at home? Do you know what things we can do for dogs in autumn? Let’s take a look at each of the masters below!
1. Arrange the dog’s diet
Dogs are afraid of heat and finally got through their hardest time. When the weather gets cold, their appetite All of a sudden it will be good. You will find out how the dog is always hungry, and he will eat as much as he wants. It is a good thing that dogs can eat it, and we are happy to see it. However, you should pay attention to helping your dog control his food intake when his appetite is particularly good. Often after two days of eating, he will suffer from indigestion: loss of appetite, vomiting, and wilting. If these symptoms occur, you may want to give it some medicine to help digestion, such as lactose enzymes, yeast tablets, etc., and at the same time, give it small meals and frequent meals, and it will be fine after a few days. In addition, the temperature is low in autumn and winter, and the food cools quickly. If you mix dog food with meat, it is best to let it eat it while it is not cold, which is also better for the dog's stomach.
In addition, the dry air in autumn may cause some diseases or the skin may become dry. Just imagine, wouldn’t this situation be worse when winter comes? I would like to suggest that dog parents, you can do this by Adding fatty acids to food can improve the problem of dry skin in dogs and help your dog store energy in winter. This is a simple method, which is to add a little vegetable oil (such as corn oil or olive oil) to your dog's dog food. Just add 1/2 teaspoon to the dog's dinner, so after 6 weeks You will see obvious results, but dog owners please note that you must first determine that your dog’s gastrointestinal digestion function is healthy before you can use the above method. In addition, there will be no symptoms when the dog starts eating. If it is suitable (such as diarrhea), you must stop feeding with vegetable oil. If the dog is suitable for feeding with vegetable oil, you must also stop when winter is about to stop and wait until next year to use this method. Otherwise, you will endanger the dog. Dog weight loss plan has to worry again!
2. Pay attention to the control of dog movement
Dogs are generally lazy in summer, unless the dog owner takes advantage of the colder temperatures after dusk. Dogs, otherwise dogs are generally lazy and greedy indoorsSleeping, but when the weather turns cold in autumn, the dog's restless nature begins to be clumsy and eager to move. The luck of going out is strengthened, and the dog is restless and anxious when at home. Some dogs will even become destructive to things at home. , to consume the excess physical energy in the body. At this time, you may say, I just need to reduce the amount of exercise the dog goes out! In fact, the basic logic is correct, but for a dog that usually does not exercise enough, suddenly reducing the amount of exercise or letting the dog exercise too much will damage the dog's internal organs and muscles, so it is recommended to Parents, we should adopt a gradual approach to improve dog exercise. It is best to start by reducing the time by 10-15 minutes. At this time, the changes in nature in autumn also begin to change. It is best to allow the dog to walk more. Natural communication is very helpful for you or your dog's mood.
3. Pay attention to the home environment
Autumn is a dry season due to less rain. Under such circumstances, it may be harmful to your dog. Causes a certain degree of disturbance, because the dog's skin will become dry at this time, which in turn makes the hair on the body dull and dull, which further reduces the protective effect of the dog's hair on the dog's genius, and is more likely to cause ringworm symptoms. .
As the weather gets cooler, the time to open the windows at home is much less than in the past. However, whether it is for human health or for the health of dogs, it is useful to open the windows for a period of time every day to let some air flow. In addition, the bodies of long-haired dogs are also preparing to keep out the cold during this season. The down on their bodies is reduced and it is easy to tangle into balls, so they need to be groomed frequently. Combing can promote blood circulation. For dogs, combing is like a full-body massage. Combing for a few minutes every day is not only useful for dogs, but also can comb the dog's fallen hair onto the comb, which is a good way to prevent dog hair from flying around at home. good measure.
Therefore, parents please pay attention. After autumn and the cold winter, the filter in the air conditioner at home should be cleaned first to prepare for use. Because the air conditioner filter has passed through the humid summer, there are many bacteria (mold) in it. ) robes, and these germs will spread to you and your dog’s living environment when you use the air conditioner, but you don’t know it, so take advantage of the good autumn weather and sunny weather to clean the environment and appliances in your home!
4. Prevent dogs from getting sick
In terms of physical condition, dogs with weak respiratory and cardiopulmonary functions, or dogs with serious heart disease or diabetes Dogs are more likely to get sick during this season, because the temperature in autumn drops, the days and nights are cooler, and the temperature difference between day and night is large, dogs are prone to colds and colds. In addition, heartworms brought by mosquito bites in summer also gradually mature into adults at this time, and begin to affect the dog's health. Therefore, owners should pay special attention to the dog's daily routine and get in touch with the veterinarian immediately if any unusual situation occurs.
Autumn is the season when ticks grow. They may cause dermatitis, hair loss and other symptoms on dogs, soDogs that often go out or play on the grass must be treated against fleas and ticks in advance. You might as well spray some spray such as "Flyen" on it as a preventive measure.
5. Pay attention to the supplement of dog vaccines
Although dog vaccines are injected once a year, for dogs, they have The antibody level and immune system of dogs are coincidentally and slowly declining. At this time, dogs have fewer opportunities to go out (here refers to dogs that have been vaccinated for more than 6 months), which is also the best situation to reduce the number of viruses circulating in the air. , under relevant circumstances, in order to prevent dogs from being exposed to bacterial viruses and increasing their chances of getting sick, it is necessary to give dogs timely booster vaccines. < p > etc. Autumn is the best time, because surgery in colder weather has better fluidity in the dog's body, and the mosquitoes shrink, which reduces the pressure on the dog itself to recover, so the recovery period is faster, which is related to For parents who want to neuter their dogs, they can also avoid the dilemma of their dogs going into heat next spring.
7. Estrus, mating, growth control
Dogs are animals in simple estrus and do not repeat estrus. Dogs usually go into estrus twice a year, and dogs generally go into estrus once each year in March and April in spring and September and October in autumn. However, female dogs can only be mated at specific times, usually twice a year. This is the so-called "estrus". Adult male dogs will probably mate at all times of the year. If allowed, a male dog will travel far to find a female dog in estrus. The estrus period of female dogs generally lasts for three weeks. During this period, she is very attractive to male dogs. Its own behavior will also change, and it will become anxious and impulsive. Therefore, the female dog should be separated from the male dog during the estrus period. After the puppy is born, when it reaches a certain age, the male dog can produce sperm with the ability to fertilize, which is called sexual maturity. Maturity does not mean that it is time to grow, because the dog's body is not fully mature yet. It is the appropriate time for breeding to start at about 12 months of age. Generally, small dogs mature early, while large dogs mature later. It is generally believed that sexual maturity occurs between 8 and 12 months after birth, with some cases occurring as early as 6 months. There are differences across the world. Small and medium-sized dogs are 1-1.5 years old, and their offspring have a high survival rate. It is most suitable for large dogs to start growing at 2 years old.
Dogs also have “psychological pants.” This is what Bomen arranged for female dogs kept indoors! They are like shorts, covering the dog's butt naturally, without forgetting to leave a hole for the dog's tail to show. Place absorbent cotton on the bottom of your pants and replace it every once in a while. (Psychological pants are not easy to buy here. Netizens have provided DIY methods: you can buy your friend’s briefs and cut a hole in the back for the tail.It turns out that it’s OK to put a girl’s sanitary pad on it, which is economical and economical.) Of course, this is not a diaper, and it still needs to be removed when the dog gets used to defecation, so that it is “convenient” for the dog and convenient for the owner.
