Q: I bathe my dog ​​frequently. If I find itching or other problems, I wash my dog ​​more frequently.
R: It is more appropriate to bathe once every 1-2 weeks. Human skin is acidic, while dog skin is alkaline. The structure and texture of dog skin are completely different from human skin, and it is much thinner than human skin. Frequent bathing will destroy its natural protective oils and cause a variety of skin diseases.
Q: Our family loves our dog the most. We give it whatever we eat.
R: Feeding dogs with human food for a long time is actually harmful rather than loving. The nutritional content of human food does not exactly match the growth needs of dogs. If a dog waits for its owner's food at the dinner table, it will develop bad habits and affect its normal diet. And many delicious foods for humans are harmful to dogs.
Q: Human toiletries are so effective, they must also be suitable for dogs.
R: Due to the difference in pH between human and dog skin, things used by humans can cause dryness, aging and hair loss in dogs’ skin. Use pet-specific shampoo. If it is not available in your location, you can choose a neutral shampoo for humans, which must be fragrance-free and non-dandruff-removing. You can choose a mild baby bath. Discontinue use immediately if itching or rash occurs.
Q: Animal liver is rich in nutrients and dogs also like to eat it. Just let them eat as much as they can.
R: Liver contains a variety of nutrients, and its unique fishy smell is loved by dogs and cats. However, eating liver for a long time can lead to obesity, skin itching, vitamin A poisoning, calcium deficiency, bleeding, and postpartum convulsions, which is very dangerous.
Q: My dog ​​is the most well-behaved. If I don’t take it out, it can hold its bowels for a long time.
R: Dogs don’t like to excrete within their own range of activities. This is its nature, but it does not mean it is good for its health. It should be trained to develop the habit of defecating in the bathroom, or given enough opportunities to go out to defecate, but attention should be paid to proactively cleaning up the excrement. Adult dogs should not hold in their urine for more than 10 hours. Holding in their urine for a long time will cause a variety of diseases of the urinary system and bring great pain to the dog.

Q: My dog ​​often chews big stick bones and drinks bone soup, so he is definitely not deficient in calcium.
R: The bone soup cooked in daily life is mainly composed of bone marrow, and most of the bone marrow is fat. Drinking bone soup does not supplement calcium, but mainly fat. Even if a dog eats bones, it does not guarantee that it will not be deficient in calcium. When a female dog gives birth, she consumes a lot of calcium, and the calcium contained in meat bones cannot guarantee good absorption. Puppies have weak digestion and cannot eat bones. Calcium deficiency in adult dogs manifests as irritability, hot flashes, easy fractures, and laziness. The symptoms are similar to humans. Calcium supplementation methods usually include calcium powder, calcium phosphorus tablets or even calcium injections, or as directed by your doctor.
Q: Pet hospitals are all scammers. It’s okay to find some human medicine to treat dogs at home.
R: The bodies of dogs and humans are very different, and many human miracle drugs can cause fatal allergies in dogs. Different breeds of dogs, physical conditions vary from one dog to another, and dosageIt's hard to grasp. What's more, the symptoms observed by laymen's eyes are often inaccurate or superficial, so unauthorized use of medication is extremely risky. You should find reliable hospitals and veterinarians for diagnosis and symptomatic treatment.
