How to raise a Cocker Spaniel
0 Jul 26,2025
1. Pay attention to your diet
Under normal circumstances, when owners take their dogs home, they have been weaned. If they have not been weaned, the owners need to artificially feed them. For weaned dogs, owners need to pay attention to the following points:
1. Dogs under 2 months old are best fed soft food, 4 times a day, and do not give them random meat. If you want your dog to eat homemade dog food, you need to check the information to make sure that the homemade dog food contains all the nutrients your dog needs.
2. Dogs over 2 months old can eat dry food. During the transition from soft food to dry food, owners can gradually reduce the proportion of soft food and increase the proportion of dry food to allow the dog to adapt to the change in food.
3. No matter how old the dog is, the owner must prepare enough water for it. Do not let your dog drink tap water directly. It is best for them to drink cool water. In addition, even if the dog has not finished drinking the water, the owner must change the water the next day.
2. Hygiene is very important
Regular bathing of Schnauzers can remove parasites, dirt, dead hair, various bacteria, etc., especially for dogs that have started to go out to play, bathing becomes more important. It should be noted that if bathing at home, the owner needs to keep the dog warm to prevent the dog from getting sick.
3. Communicate more with dogs
Schnauzers are lively and intelligent dogs who are eager for their owners to communicate with them more. There are usually two ways to communicate - playing games and grooming. Playing games can not only exercise the dog's body, but also allow the dog to form a good interaction with the owner; grooming the dog can not only make the dog healthier, but also enhance the relationship between the dog and the owner. Therefore, communication is important for both dogs and owners.
It takes more effort to raise a Schnauzer when it is young, but it is relatively easier when it grows up.
