With the arrival of winter, the temperature has gradually cooled down. With the passage of time, it has entered the rhythm of cold winter. Many friends have raised lovely pet dogs at home. We should prepare materials for our beloved dogs to spend the cold winter together. Many novice friends will be faced with a situation of bewilderment, the following we will bring you a detailed winter dog cold measures according to our experience. Also let your dog receive some special care in this winter.
In winter, it is very important for dogs to take proper nutrition supplement to cope with cold weather, because adequate nutrition and energy intake can make dogs have stronger cold resistance in winter.
Here are also some "need to do" and "don't do" items to give your pet active protection from the inside out:
1、 Prepare the right amount of food for it:
Dogs who are often outdoors need more food in cold weather. Prepare high-quality dog food for them and feed them more every day to save more heat to resist the cold. On the other hand, dogs that winter indoors and rarely go out need less food in winter to avoid obesity caused by reduced activity.
2、 To prepare a proper amount of clean warm water for it:
If your dog is outdoors, prepare a basin for warm water. But do not use metal containers, as the dog's tongue may be stuck to cold metal. The air is dry in winter, and dogs who spend the winter indoors need more water.
3、 To clean the antifreeze sprayed on the ground:
For pets, vehicle antifreeze is one of the most dangerous killers in winter. Dogs kept in garages should pay more attention. Dogs love the sweetness of antifreeze, but unfortunately, only a small amount of antifreeze is fatal to them. If you suspect that your dog has drunk antifreeze, take him to the veterinarian immediately. Also consider using antifreeze that is non-toxic to animals.
4、 Take a bath and comb it regularly
Dogs also need to bathe in winter, especially for dogs who often go out for activities. Their hair tends to get tangled and accumulate mud and snow. After a bath, let their hair dry thoroughly before they go out. When it's inconvenient to take a bath with water, you can use the pet's special dry cleaning shampoo for dry cleaning. Be sure to brush the powder clean. In addition, regular combing will not only make the dog's hair soft and better keep out of the cold, but also can untie the dead knot, remove dust and dead hair, and promote skin metabolism. On the other hand, we can also find the mass or trauma hidden under the thick hair in time.
5、 Dress and keep your dog warm
Special attention should be paid to the problem of keeping warm for those dogs with weak constitution, dogs with poor thermal insulation ability when they are old, female dogs who have just given birth, dogs who are newly recovered from serious illness, and dogs with old injuries, such as Chihuahua and mini Doberman, which are very small, thin and have low fat content. These dogs are more afraid of the cold, resistance is relatively weak, in low temperature days to go out also had better wear clothes, this can reduce their risk of disease.
