How to care for a German Shorthaired Pointer? It is not difficult to raise a Pointer. They are relatively adaptable to the environment. They can not only adapt to the wild environment but also adapt well to indoor life. They are An ideal family companion dog.

As the humidity decreases and the temperature drops, old dogs who have spent a summer indoors also need to get some moderate exercise outdoors. Appetite also gradually returns, so it is very necessary to do a small amount of exercise. Older dogs who don’t like to exercise can also be allowed to play with toys.

Prevent catching a cold after being exposed to the rain (Autumn)

Old dogs have weaker physical strength than adult dogs. After getting wet in the rain, they are not only prone to catching colds, but it also takes longer to recover. Therefore, after returning from a walk on a rainy day, wipe it with a towel in time and dry your whole body with a hair dryer.

Don’t force your dog to exercise in the cold season (winter)

Winter, which I enjoyed very much when I was young, will also become painful and unbearable in my old age. If your dog doesn’t want to go outside, don’t force it to exercise.

In addition, dogs with weak tracheal function will find it difficult to breathe when they go out of a warm room and are suddenly exposed to cold air from the outside. Therefore, before going out, wait for a while at the door in an unheated and low-temperature place, and wait until you get used to the cold air before going out.

Change your breath once an hour

Heated rooms are prone to dryness. If the room is too dry, it will generate static electricity and damage the dog's coat, throat and nose mucous membranes. Therefore, keep changing the air every hour and open the windows to let in fresh air.

Elderly pet dogs are particularly intolerant of cold. If you leave them alone at home, turn off the heating and prepare a pet radiator.
