How to raise a four-month-old dog

A four-month-old dog is in the growth stage

You should pay attention to nutrition in food. Calcium powder, vitamin A, and D liquid should be added to the food. Just feed it 2-3 times a day.

Excretion

Generally, there are two large bowel movements in the morning and evening.

Education

The teeth of four-month-old dogs begin to grow, and they will gnaw and bite randomly. The owner should stop them in time.

Physical Examination

Monthly health examination and urine and feces tests. **Preventive injection: After the first two injections of vaccine, boost the immunity again and perform repeated injections (specifically based on the vaccine usage requirements. The general requirements for the Intervet vaccine I use are for dogs at 6 weeks, 9 weeks, and 12 weeks respectively. Three injections of vaccine, followed by a booster shot every year). It should be particularly emphasized that due to increased weight and increased nutritional needs, especially when calcium cannot meet the needs, dogs may develop rickets, deforming the long bones of the limbs or enlarging the joints, resulting in "O" or "X" shaped legs. For large dogs of medium size or above, more attention should be paid to observe whether there are any changes in the shape of the front and rear limbs. Adjust the balance of calcium and phosphorus in a timely manner, frequently irradiate ultraviolet rays (basking in the sun), and supplement deficiencies in vitamins A, D, and E. Dogs should not be walked for too long. Generally, dogs of 4 months old should not go for a walk on the road. Choose softer grass or dirt to prevent limbs from deforming.
