Raising a dog is not an easy task. You must always pay attention to your own behavior and habits, because if you are not careful, it may affect the health and happiness of your dog.

Give too many snacks

“Oh, look at its pitiful little eyes, just give it some snacks!” Do you often think like this? But giving too many snacks is not a good thing. If you eat too many snacks, your dog will be picky about food and will not want to eat the main meal.

I rarely take my dog ​​to exercise

"I'm too tired today, let's take it out for exercise tomorrow." Do you often say this? Dogs need regular exercise every day! Long-term lack of exercise can make dogs prone to obesity and affect the health of their bones and muscles. So, no matter how busy or tired you are, don’t forget to take your dog out for some exercise.

Neglecting Oral Health

“Does dogs also need to brush their teeth?” Of course they do! Your dog’s oral health is equally important. If the mouth is not cleaned for a long time, dogs are prone to dental calculus, bad breath, and even oral diseases. Therefore, it is necessary to brush your dog's teeth regularly or use special oral cleaning products.

Not bathing the dog

Some owners think that the dog can clean its hair by itself, so there is no need to bathe it frequently. In fact, this is not the case. The dog's skin will also secrete oil and sweat, plus the dust and bacteria collected when going out. If it is not bathed and cleaned regularly, it can easily cause skin diseases. Of course, bathing should not be too frequent, otherwise it will damage the dog's skin barrier.

Ignoring deworming management

"Deworming? It's so troublesome, but my dog ​​looks quite healthy." Don't think so! Deworming is an essential part of raising a dog. Dogs often play outside and are easily infected with parasites. Once infected with parasites, it will not only affect the health of dogs, but may also be transmitted to humans.

Irregular feeding

Some owners are very casual about feeding and only give their dogs a meal when they remember. This is not okay! Dogs have very sensitive gastrointestinal tracts, and irregular feeding can easily cause them to become hungry and full, which may lead to gastrointestinal diseases in the long run.

Hit and scold dogs at will

Some owners choose to punish their dogs by beating and scolding them when they make mistakes, thinking that this can make them remember. But in fact, beating and scolding dogs at will will not only harm them physically and psychologically, but also destroy the trust relationship between the owner and the dog.

Pet owners should educate their dogs through guidance and correction, which can help the dogs develop good habits and reward them with some snacks, which will have better results.
