What should we pay attention to when raising dogs in winter?

2023-03-31


Winter is a beautiful season. Dogs also like snow very much, so they can run and play in the snow. As pet owners, do you know what should we pay attention to in winter? Now learn with me. In winter, the physical energy consumption of pets is relatively fast. Increase the feeding amount and frequency of dog food appropriately or increase the intake of meat products, which are rich in protein, fat, calcium, phosphorus, vitamins, etc. If the temperature drops to freezing point, dogs who spend the night outdoors may suffer from tissue frostbite. Please provide dogs with a warm indoor environment and cotton nests, mattresses, etc. to minimize dogs living in cold environment. When bathing or going home in winter, you must blow dry your hair, otherwise it will cause bacteria to breed on pets' skin and easily get skin disease. Try not to play on the ice, especially on the frozen ice. Snow and ice often contain calcium chloride. When dogs go out for a walk, they will stick to their toes. When dogs lick their feet, they will eat it. Calcium chloride will cause dogs to vomit and diarrhea. Therefore, please clean the dog's toes after going out and going home in ice and snow. Because of the cold weather, we seldom open windows in winter, but families with pets must open windows every day to ventilate, especially friends who keep more than one pet in the family. If you do not ventilate for a long time, it will not only smell bad, but also easily breed bacteria and viruses. Some dogs' intestines are very fragile. Especially in winter, they always pull loose or soft stools. We can prepare warm water for them to reduce irritation to the intestines.
