"Dogs are born to swim, just throw them into the water"

"Dogs are born to climb stairs, they just need to be put on the stairs"

These are the two major confusions in the pet industry

I don’t know how these rumors came about

After all, it is human nature to eat

All need to start from elementary school

Some people may not necessarily learn the correct way to hold chopsticks when they reach adulthood

Let’s talk about these two rumors

The former has killed many dogs

It is a quick way to seek death

The owner threw the dog into the water and it was over

The dog splashed in the water twice and it was "finished"

The latter is in progress

Similar to chronic poison, the waiting time is long and the pain is so painful that the owner is not aware of it. The owner may even be a little complacent and run with the dog on the corridor from time to time

But unlike humans, dogs can walk upright. Their body structure determines that they must walk on all fours. When they go up the stairs, their four feet will be on different levels. In order to achieve the purpose of going up the stairs, they must bend and arch their backs. Jump up to complete the action of going up the stairs

▲The reason why we ignore this

It may also be caused by them completing this set of decomposition actions too quickly

Although in the process of climbing stairs

Dog’s legs, shoulders and waist muscles

They will all get good exercise

Especially the changes in the hind leg muscles are the most obvious

There is even data showing

For dogs who are losing weight

The weight loss effect of climbing stairs

Second only to swimming

And going up and down stairs can also effectively cultivate the dog's coordination ability.

▲ Reference picture

When you hear this, do you think?

In fact, there is nothing wrong with dogs climbing stairs?

I even wonder if Little K is alarmist?

Why is it linked to the theory of "chronic poison"?

​In fact, for dogs

Especially elderly dogs and obese dogs

And for dogs with short legs and long backs

There are almost only disadvantages and no advantages

Take Corgi as an example

Because their backs are longer

Frequent climbing of stairs can easily cause intervertebral disc rupture syndrome

And most corgi babies are relatively "fat"

But because when going down the stairs, both legs must fall at the same time

This will cause all the weight to be placed on the front legs

It is very painful for them

After a long time

You will slowly find out

The dog is beginning to have difficulty climbing stairs

Stopped at every turn

I need the "encouragement" of your hard work

At first you thought it was getting lazy

I want you to carry it upstairs like you did when you were a child

Gradually you find that it is not even willing to go upstairs

Squatting there

Looking at you motionless

​And this time

The dog actually has excessive wear and tear on the hip joint

​ and related disease phenomena

Such as lameness, poor mobility, whining due to pain, etc.

The body is in great pain

But we don’t know anything

I didn’t realize the initiator of all this at all

It turned out to be ourselves

No, as mentioned before

In fact, whether you should climb stairs depends entirely on the individual dog

​Can’t generalize

But if the dog really needs to climb stairs every day

Be sure to remember to supplement your dog with more calcium

Especially elderly dogs, obese dogs and short-footed dogs

Not only do you need to supplement calcium but also chondroitin

Can prevent diseases such as hip joint degeneration and rickets

Of course, if you are a qualified rich person

You can pretend I didn’t say anything
