Now there are more and more new shovelers, after taking the dog home, are they all more or less anxious?Don't worry!Learn the following common knowledge of dog breeding, so that you can get rid of dog anxiety.
1. Adapt to the new environment after the dog arrives at home
Many excrement shovelers are more excited to take the dog home for the first time, and they can't help but "kiss and hug the dog". Attention!This is not right, the correct way is to let the puppy adapt to the new environment first, for example, you can first place a temporary range of activity for the dog, and then slowly expand the range of activity after the puppy slowly adapts. At the same time as this step, you can start training your dog to go to the toilet at a fixed point within the range of activity. After the dog adapts to the new environment, it is time to have fun with the dog!Therefore, it is very important to give the dog a little time for himself
2. Dog vaccination
Before you get vaccinated, you need to know:
Puppies that have just arrived at home should not be vaccinated immediately, but need to be observed at home for a week and vaccinated if there are no abnormal health problems in their bodies.
Be sure to take your dog to a regular pet hospital for vaccination.
Before vaccination, the dog needs to make sure that it is healthy and not pregnant.
After vaccination, you need to observe in the hospital for 30 minutes and make sure that there are no abnormal problems before you can take your dog home.
Some dogs will have an adaptation period after vaccination. Specific manifestations are: decreased appetite, drowsiness, and not wanting to be approached. Don't be nervous when you find out about the above situation!It's normal and lasts for about one to three days. If the dog does not return to normal for a long time, you need to take the dog to the hospital for examination in time.
You can bathe your dog a week after vaccination, because dogs will be more fragile after vaccination, and bathing will make dogs more susceptible to catching colds and getting sick.
3. Regular deworming of dogs
Because dogs basically need to go out for a walk every day, it is very necessary for the excrement shovelers to regularly deworm the dogs.
The dosage of deworming needs to be used flexibly according to the age and weight of the dog, so as not to harm the dog if the dose is too high.
Puppies need to be dewormed once after one month of birth, and puppies and adult dogs after six months need to be dewormed every three months. If you are feeding raw flesh and bones, you need to do a good job of internal deworming every month.
In vitro deworming needs to change the cycle according to the season, in vitro deworming once every month in summer, and once every two months in autumn and winter.
In vitro deworming requires an interval of a week before bathing the dog, and if you bathe immediately, it will not achieve the effect of deworming.
4. Walk the dog correctly
When going out to walk the dog, you must wear a leash for the dog, which can not only prevent the dog from getting lost, but also better discipline your dog to avoid accidents.
When walking your dog, don't stop the dog from sniffing everywhere!It's a way for dogs to explore the outside world, to keep them in a good mood and curious about new things.
Don't walk your dog too long or too short a day. The dog walking time needs to be adjusted according to the dog's size, breed, and age group.
The path of walking the dog every day should not be fixed, and the shovel officers can take the dog to familiarize themselves with the surrounding environment of the home and take more new routes, which can not only allow the dog to find the way home when it is accidentally lost, but also prevent the dog from getting bored with a single route.
Choose the right time to walk your dog according to the temperature outside, and if the weather is too cold, the shovelers can choose to walk the dog at a warmer time at noonIf the weather is too hot, the shovelers can choose to walk the dog in the morning or evening when the temperature is cooler. In order to prevent the dog from getting sick due to changes in the outside temperature.
5. Keep your dog warm in winter
Every winter, many excrement shovelers think that dogs have thick fur to protect them, so they can ignore the dog's warmth. This is not true!If the temperature is too low in winter, the dog is also very afraid of the cold!That's when the shovelers need to find the right way to keep the dog's body hot.
When it's cold outside, try not to keep your dog outside.
Prepare a blanket, a litter with cotton, or dress the dog in the right amount according to the dog's breed.
Feed them with foods that are higher in protein and get more calories.
6. Seek medical attention in time if the dog has abnormalities, and do not be blindly confident
When the dog's body suddenly has an abnormality, what will the shovelers do?
If it is the first time for a novice excrement shoveler to raise a dog and encounters any abnormal situation, he should take his pet to the doctor in time, do not seek home remedies on the Internet, and do not give the dog medicine without authorization.
If it is a more experienced shovel officer, the dog has encountered problems before, you can give the dog symptomatic medicine, observe for a period of time, if it has not improved, you must take the dog to the hospital. If the dog has a new problem, you must not be blindly confident and take the dog to the hospital for examination as soon as possible.

The choice of bath time, the shovel officials need to choose the time to bathe the dog according to the weather temperature, and generally choose to bathe the dog when the sun is out at noon. After bathing, the dog should be dried in time to prevent the dog from catching a cold and getting sick.
