When is the best time to walk the dog?

Taking the dog out for a walk after dinner is a very pleasant enjoyment for the majority of dog owners, an important way to enhance the affection between family members or dogs, and also an exercise for dogs.

First, going out for a walk can breathe fresh air, make you feel comfortable, help the dog's health and promote digestion.

Second: let the dog accept strange things from outside, so as to avoid strong fear when stimulated by the outside world.

Third: going out for a walk in the sun (but not in the sun) and receiving ultraviolet radiation can meet the needs of animals for vitamin D; At the same time, vitamin D can promote the absorption of calcium and phosphorus in the small intestine, which is beneficial to the healthy development of organs such as bones.

Everything has two sides, and dogs are facing many crises when they go out for a walk. First of all, dogs go out, which increases the chance of exposure to pathogens; Various external mechanical, chemical and biological stimuli may have adverse effects on dogs. It can be seen that dogs have certain requirements for time, place and place to go out for a walk. Therefore, dogs should pay attention to the following points when going out for a walk:

First, after the dog reaches a certain age (usually 4-5 months), after giving the dog a vaccine (five shots can be given); And ensure the dog's health, diet and behavior are normal before going out. Only in this way can the dog be guaranteed to have certain immunity and resistance and resist the invasion of external pathogenic microorganisms.

Second, the time is generally chosen in the morning and evening when the weather is fine and the temperature difference between indoor and outdoor is not big, otherwise it is easy for the dog to catch cold. When going out, the dog's hunger should be appropriate, so as not to cause internal medical diseases such as intestinal rupture, torsion and intussusception.

Third, don't touch sick dogs when you go out. It's best not to go to places where many dogs often haunt to avoid catching infectious diseases. Because some pathogens of dog diseases can survive in external media (soil, sick dog feces, sewage, etc.). ) for dozens of days or even months and years, it is still contagious. In addition, dogs may be infected with parasites when they go out, so it is best to take preventive measures in advance, such as wearing a flea-removing and lice-driving collar for Sargin dogs.

Fourth, after walking back, give the dog proper water and let it rest; You can wash your dog's feet when you get home. If you play dirty, you can bathe your dog.

Walking with dogs, I wish the majority of pet lovers a warm and beautiful sunset trip every day!
