Pay attention to feeding methods to prevent diarrhea in dogs

Dogs should be fed regularly and quantitatively, and good eating habits should be developed, which will help their gastrointestinal function. Never allow your dog to be hungry and full, as this will cause gastrointestinal dysfunction and may result in intractable diarrhea. If it is a puppy under 4 months old, the dog food should be soaked in warm water for a while before feeding, but the soaked dog food cannot be kept for a long time, otherwise it will deteriorate. It is natural for dogs to chew bones, but it is best not to feed them to puppies, especially chicken bones, which cannot be digested by dogs and are likely to puncture their digestive organs. In addition, the dog’s drinking water should be clean, and it is best to change it every half a day, because unclean water may contain a lot of bacteria or viruses.

To prevent dog diarrhea, pay attention to the living environment

The dog’s activity space and supplies must be kept clean and disinfected regularly. Its residence should be kept warm in winter and well ventilated in summer. If you want to take your dog on a trip or take it to another place, you must be more careful about its diet, daily routine, etc. during the journey. When a dog goes to another unfamiliar environment, it will go through a process of adaptation. At this time, it must be ensured that it has sufficient rest time, and it is best not to make any changes in diet and other aspects.

To prevent dog diarrhea, pay attention to walking the dog

When taking the dog for a walk, it likes to sniff around to collect more information, so the owner cannot despise it. Don't let your dog sniff or pick up food outside to eat (trained "fasting" can reduce this). Some dogs have not eaten fiber foods for a long time and lack fiber in their bodies. They like to eat some plants while walking. This should also be prevented, because some dogs are poisonous after eating some plants. Such as oleander, potato leaves, evergreen plants, etc. In addition, when you hear or find other dogs nearby, especially if several dogs are sick, you should be careful not to let your dog get close to other dogs.

Prevent dog diarrhea and pay attention to deworming

Immunization is the most effective way to prevent infectious diseases. Dogs suffer from many infectious diseases, such as canine distemper, parvovirus enteritis, etc. Some of these diseases are fatal, and once they develop, there is no specific treatment and can only be prevented by vaccination in advance. The initial immunization requires three consecutive injections of vaccine, with an interval of 2 to 4 weeks between each injection.

After 3 injections, another injection of vaccine is required every other year, because the effectiveness of the vaccine can only be maintained for 1 year. When vaccinated, the dog must be completely healthy and must not have abnormal reactions or diseases. Generally, the puppy taken home needs to be observed for about 1 week. If there is no abnormality, it can be vaccinated. Starting from the first injection of the vaccine, the dog is in a dangerous period, because the vaccine is attenuated. You cannot bathe the dog at this time (to prevent colds), and you cannot take him out until 1 week after the 3 injections (to prevent virus infection) .
