The basic care of dogs is already a matter that every animal lover knows more or less: a good, rich and balanced diet (and that is attractive to them), exercise according to their age, size and lifestyle, a lot of love , some discipline and regular visits to the vet. With these elements we make sure that our dog is in perfect health, at least as far as it depends on us.
However, as there is more and more information about our best friends, doubts about certain aspects of their care are also growing. Sterilization, treatments for some diseases or when dog training is necessary, for example, are some of the topics that always come up in conversations between dog lovers.
In this sense, we find some practices of our day to day, very common actions in the relationship with our dogs that we believe are correct and in reality they are not. For example, one of the most typical is to force him to socialize with other dogs during our walks. It is true that socialization is essential for the proper development of the dog’s character, but not at the cost of making the animal nervous and have worse consequences. We must respect their times.
Among these customs that go unnoticed, there is also, as we explain in the gallery, overdoing it with food rations, especially if we have a dog with a certain tendency to gain weight. Although his face may be good and wanting to give him lots of pampering and rewards, we must remain firm, because his health may be at stake in the future.
Another negative habit, although fortunately it occurs less and less and is more exceptional, is to assist our dog ourselves during her delivery. We must always go to the veterinarian, as his intervention can be crucial if the birth of the puppies is complicated, both for it to be a success and even, in extreme cases, to save the life of our dog.
In the next gallery we will tell you about some of these practices that seem harmless and that it is better to keep at bay.
