Those who raise dogs should know that many dogs are very naughty and exercise a lot. However, when we raise dogs, we should also realize that the degree of naughtiness of dogs is also different at different stages. Today we will learn about it.

1-30 days (neonatal period)

The dog has just started to come into contact with the world. He does not understand anything and has not opened his eyes. Live mainly on breast milk. The body cannot regulate body temperature and requires the mother to produce heat to keep it warm. He had no hearing or vision for 12 days and could only rely on weak touch to find his nipples. Eyes open around the 13th day, hearing begins after the 15th day, and teeth begin to grow after the 20th day. From the 21st to the 28th, the amount of breast milk is not enough, and it is necessary to transition from liquid food to semi-solid food. At this time, the female dog must be given enough nutrition to produce enough milk.

1 month to 3 months (young age)

At this time, the dog’s digestive system is not fully developed, and it needs the owner’s careful care. Generally, it is fed 3-4 times a day, with small meals and frequent meals. In about two months, you can slowly feed some soaked dog food, soaked in warm water or goat milk powder. Do not heat it too high, as it will destroy the nutrients inside. In terms of drinking water, it is best to give your dog boiled water. There are many types of milk, including fat, skim, sugar, and low sugar. Feeding it to dogs casually can easily lead to diarrhea problems. It is best to feed dogs special milk.

Puppies have poor immunity, so it is best not to take the dog out to interact with other dogs, and the vaccine can be injected after 42 days. Do not bathe the dog before the vaccine is completed, because the dog's cold will make the vaccine ineffective. If it is too dirty, you can use dry cleaning powder or wipe it with a rag. Teeth begin to appear between 19 and 28 days old, and all deciduous teeth erupt at 2 months of age. With certain learning ability, you can start training to go to the toilet at a fixed location.

3 months to 6 months old (infancy)

When the dog reaches 3 months, it can be fed dry dog ​​food. It should choose some highly nutritious natural food for feeding, and it should also slowly develop a regular eating habit. However, at this time, the dog's skeletal muscles are growing rapidly, requiring a large amount of protein and calcium, and the coat is gradually replaced by adult dog hair. During the critical period of hair beauty, there is also an embarrassing period.

Puppies begin to try to have their own territory, and slowly explore their own status in the family. If they feel that their owner's status is lower than themselves, they will be aggressive towards their owner, or try to dominate their owner. At this time, the destructive ability will increase, the amount of exercise will also increase, and you can go outside for activities. However, this is still the puppy stage, so pay attention to the intensity of exercise.

6 months to 12 months old (sexual maturity)

Small dogs generally enter adulthood earlier than large dogs. Some dogs will go into heat at 6-8 months earlier, while large dogs may go into heat at almost 1 year old. During this period, the dog enters sexual maturity and appears for the first time in heat. The first estrus is prone to hormone imbalance, causing estrus disorders. Those with persistent estrus, no estrus, or false pregnancy have low pregnancy rate and high dystocia rate. It is necessary to supplement him with nutrients that promote reproduction: vitamin E, organic chromium, folic acid, etc. Be sure not to breed during the first estrus, and pay attention to hygiene during estrus to prevent infection. If you are infertile, you can perform sterilization after the estrus is over.

1 to 7 years old (adult stage)

The dog has reached adulthood, which is equivalent to 18 years old in humans. At this time, the dog's character will gradually become calmer and will not be as naughty as before. The body size will not change much. At this stage, you can still eat dog food normally, and there are no too many dietary taboos.

Dogs generally like to sit around the table when people are eating, but food with high salt content is not suitable for them. Dog food should be given priority to. Dog food is divided into commercial food and natural food. Commercial food is also called 4D food (Dead, Diseased, Dying, Dying, Disabled, disabled animal meat). Natural grains use fresh main ingredients and do not add food additives such as attractants, preservatives, and coagulants. Therefore, it is best to choose natural food. It is recommended to eat natural dog food, and occasionally mix it with some fresh fruits and meats, so as to ensure a healthy diet for dogs!

7-15 years old (elderly period)

At this time, dogs slowly enter their old age. Dogs over 7-8 years old are already over 50 years old according to human age. At this time, the functions of various organs of the dog decline, and aging diseases appear, such as diabetes, high blood pressure, bone and joint diseases, weakened liver and kidney functions, liver and kidney diseases, fractures, joint inflammation and other diseases, so special attention should be paid to calcium supplementation.

At this time, you should not just feed your dog whatever food it likes just because it is older. You should choose some foods that are beneficial to its health. You can choose to eat more soy products and cartilage, you can also choose nutritional supplements on the market to supplement calcium for dogs, or feed dog food with a relatively high calcium content. Spend more time in the sun, take walks, and pay more attention to hygiene. I believe that dogs and their owners will stay together longer.
