Things that owners must pay attention to when raising a new pet

1. Take the new puppy to the veterinarian for a physical examination immediately after getting the pet, especially the small pets bought from outside, because they are different from other pets in the market. had contact with animals, or people who wanted to buy kept touching this and that with their hands, spreading pathogenic microorganisms. Therefore, owners should take their pets to the veterinary hospital for examination immediately after getting them. You can ask the veterinarian to inject some anti-disease serum into the puppy first. After returning home and raising the puppy for about 10 days, you can take it for vaccination after the puppy becomes strong and adapts to the environment of the new home.
2. If you just get a puppy from a closed breeding, do not show it around, "show off" it, and do not let it come into contact with other dogs. After the relevant vaccinations are completed and the pet is strong and has immunity, it is not too late to take it out to play.
3. Feed professional dog food. It can help small pets grow well, have strong disease resistance, and get sick less often.
4. Feed the puppies that have just entered the house regularly and quantitatively. First let them drink some water, take a short rest, and then start feeding. It is best to feed the amount of food so that the puppies are 80% full. Puppies should be fed three times a day, please refer to the instructions on the packaging bag.
Because puppies are different, their food intake may also be different, and owners can adjust it themselves. The adjustment method is: after a meal, if there is a little left, then the next feeding can be appropriately reduced; if after eating, the pet does not seem to be full and the belly is not big, you can add a little more. In short, it is best if the pet is basically full and there is no food in the bowl, but it still wants to eat more. Fresh drinking water should be available 24 hours a day.
The most taboo thing is to give snacks in addition to regular and quantitative feeding. Feeding snacks, firstly, it is not easy to control the amount of food, and secondly, it disrupts the digestion and absorption rules of puppies, which can easily cause indigestion, diarrhea, etc.
5. Do not buy a sick or weak cheap puppy, otherwise it will become ill or seriously ill soon after you bring it home, and the cost of diagnosis and treatment will far exceed the cost of buying a pet. , it may also lead to the death of pets due to untimely diagnosis and treatment, and owners are also anxious and sad.
6. Don’t take a bath immediately when you first get home. If the dog’s body is dirty, you can use a towel and warm water to scrub the area; if the whole body is dirty, you should wait for two days until the dog recovers its strength, and then bathe the whole body. After bathing, wipe off as much moisture as possible with a dry towel, wrap it in a dry towel or blanket, and place it in a warm place to dry naturally. Slightly older puppies can be dried with a warm hair dryer. Do not blow with strong hot air, as this may make your pet susceptible to illness.
7. Prompt diagnosis and treatment after onset of illness Puppies, like children, have immature immune systems and poor disease resistance. Moreover, the more purebred a puppy is, the weaker its immunity is and the more difficult it is to raise it. Therefore, once you find any abnormalities in your puppies, you should promptly ask a veterinarian for diagnosis and treatment. The sooner you see a doctor, the better your chances of a cure. Treatment must not only be timely, but also continuous. Do not do it intermittently, otherwise it will be difficult for the puppy to be completely cured.

The common mistakes novice dog owners make are as follows.

Feeding too much food

There is a new member in the family, and everyone likes it when they see it. If you like it, give him something to eat. You feed him a bite, and I feed him a bite. , especially the little things just bought from outside, they must eat a lot because of hunger.
It would be strange if this kind of overeating doesn’t lead to vomiting and diarrhea! Some new owners don't know to ask a veterinarian for diagnosis and treatment in time, and the puppy's disease resistance is low, which may lead to death due to "eating a big meal".

Catching cold in the bath

When new pets come into the house, some of them are relatively dirty, or the owners like to keep them clean, so they often give them a bath on the same day, causing them to catch a cold; some of them blow dry with hot air after bathing. Excessive wind can also cause pets to have runny noses, coughs, and elevated body temperatures.
Buy sick or weak puppies. Some pets may look healthy, but in fact they are in the early stages of disease and will become ill soon after entering the home.

Take the dog out to play

The new owner lacks knowledge. The small pet is originally healthy, but the new owner likes to take the little guy to play everywhere, and even lets them play and bond with the sick dog. (Of course the owner did not know this), which resulted in his pet being infected. Whether it is eating too much or catching a cold, the puppy's resistance will be reduced, causing pathogenic microorganisms that are already in the body or in the environment, such as canine distemper virus, canine parvovirus, etc., to multiply, causing the puppy to become sick and die. .
