Cocker Spaniel
In order to protect the healthy growth of puppies, this article will give parents a brief introduction to some of the puppy’s living habits and breeding priorities.
The English Cocker Spaniel is known as "the stature of a small dog and the physical fitness of a giant dog." Therefore, they have a large amount of movement, and their talents are lively and active.
They may run around the house, or bite things they think can grind their teeth. If they damage things at home during exercise, please don’t punish them too hard. Keep them away. "Crime scene", tell him the situation of the mistake, and then slap him on the head. After repeating this several times, he will understand that this is a wrong behavior, and he will never do it again. Remember, you must not hit him in the crotch. parts will cause serious damage to them.
Because of their large circulation, nutritional supplements must be immediate. First of all, it is recommended not to feed homemade food to dogs, because the nutrition of homemade food may not be balanced enough and may not provide enough calcium and vitamins. Therefore, dog food produced by professional companies should be used as the main food. Several important brands that can be purchased in the market include "Crown produced by Nestlé", "Royal produced by French royal family" and other brands.
In addition, some nutrients need to be replenished regularly. It is best for puppies to add "development treasure" to their dog food before they are six to eight months old to promote their physical development. In order to replenish calcium immediately, "calcium stomach energy" should be added to food for a long time to replenish the calcium needed by bones. The above two products are produced by "Taiwan Youda Co., Ltd." The market price is about 60-80 yuan/can.
There is also a nutritional product that is very popular recently - American IN. It turns out to be soy lecithin for dogs. We started feeding this product last year. Its effect is to effectively improve the dog's physique and supplement various trace elements. After the dog eats it, it can eliminate bad habits such as chewing wall skin, eating grass, and eating poop.
It is currently available in most pet stores on the market. It is recommended to purchase 680g cans. The general price is 80-100 yuan/can.
In addition, often giving your dog carrots can make his coat brighter and softer. Creation method: wash the carrots, peel them and steam them in water for best resultsPut two drops of edible olive oil on the radish to help absorb it, and steam until soft. It can be eaten directly or mixed in dog food.
When the puppy reaches six months, you can prepare a bottle of edible olive oil at home and add a small spoonful to each meal. Long-term consumption of olive oil can keep the dog's coat shiny. It is recommended to reduce the amount of food eaten little by little. If you find that your dog has loose stools, you should stop using it immediately and continue to make up for it when the dog is older.
Puppies need to be bathed regularly, usually once or twice a month, but not too often. Bathing too often will damage their appearance. When bathing a dog, be sure to use a special dog bath. Do not use human bath. Because the ingredients are different, it may cause the dog's coat to become dull, lose its original luster, and produce dandruff. Skin problems. It is recommended to use "Top Super Silk Shampoo" or "8-in-1 Shampoo"
Cocker's ears are very long, but they are also the most prone to problems, so parents need to pay special attention. Cocker ears should be cleaned frequently, and you can carefully wipe the ear canals with cotton swabs to avoid the growth of various bacteria and ear mites. It might as well be done at the same time during frequent bathing. It is recommended to use: "Vic ear cream" combined with "CARDINAL" ear cleansing powder.
What you give him is part of your life, but what he gives you is the whole of his life. Please treat him as your family member, he will definitely bring you more happiness.
Finally, I hope that parents will control their dogs, obtain dog licenses, take them out often for outings when they have free time, and pay attention to their healthy development.
