Precautions for dogs during estrus

1. Pay attention to hygiene

Both male and female vulva secretions will increase. Therefore, we must pay attention to cleaning at this time. During the dog's estrus period, use clean warm water and cloth to gently clean the vulva of the dog every day. Pay attention to cleanliness, otherwise it is easy to cause infection of the dog's reproductive organs.

2. Reduce going out

During the estrus period, the emotions are not stable, so try to reduce going out as much as possible, so as not to cause trouble. When going out, be sure to keep the dog on a leash to prevent emergencies. For example: meeting stray dogs, dogs in heat, etc. Only in this way can we better control our own dogs and avoid conflicts and fights.

3. Accompany the dog

Playing with your dog as much as possible can release their energy and distract them. Soothe the dog's emotions, reduce the dog's stress, and don't scold the dog excessively.

4. Improve your diet

The diet must be rich in nutrition, because the dog in estrus loses too much nutrition, so it is necessary to supplement nutrition in time. Moreover, the dog's appetite is not very good, so you can eat less and more meals. At this time, it is necessary to choose natural dog food that is easy to digest, high in protein and low in fat, and rich in nutrition, so as to supplement nutrition for dogs in a healthy and effective way.
