Dog Spring Care

Spring Care for Dogs

1. Sunshade

Although the sunshine in spring is relatively soft, it should not be exposed to the sun for a long time. Direct ultraviolet rays will affect the health of dogs. To do a good job of shading the dog in spring, it is better to add a curtain for the dog to avoid the sun.

2. To keep out the cold

Although the weather begins to warm up in spring, the temperature difference between day and night is still large. Therefore, pay extra attention to dogs to prevent colds. You can also add blankets and other mats in the kennel to minimize the temperature difference between inside and outside and sleep peacefully.

3. Balanced nutrition

In terms of diet, it is recommended to eat regular dog food for pets, and try not to eat with people, because dog food is relatively healthy pet food. In addition to the normal diet, add some protein to your dog.

4. Estrus

There are some special changes in physiology and behavior during estrus. Examples: restless movements, walking around, looking for male dogs to mate. At this time, we must take good care of them and not let them go out casually.

5. Moulting period

Spring is the season for dogs to molt. Dogs grow thick fur in winter to protect against cold snaps. In spring, it will gradually fall off. Therefore, it is necessary to have a coat for your hairy dog ​​on a regular basis. Otherwise, not only the fluff will fly around the house, but also the shedding coat will cause skin itching if it is not cleaned in time.

6. Deworming

As temperatures rise in spring, so do fleas and dust mites. Dogs can be infected with parasites. When your dog walks in the grass, fleas and ticks may take the opportunity to attach to the dog. You can shave the dog, which is convenient to remove a large number of parasites on the dog's surface, and it is also convenient to kill and sterilize the dog.

7. Epidemic prevention

On a sunny day, clean, disinfect and sterilize all dog supplies such as kennels, cages, kennels and food bowls, and dry them in the air. It is best to do it while the dog is shaving. Then go to a regular veterinary shop or animal epidemic prevention department to get vaccinated. After the injection, the dog can be marked with an epidemic prevention mark.
