- Bathing Your Pet
Dogs should be bathed occasionally. But bathing our dog too often when they aren’t actually dirty can dry out their skin, which removes the healthy protective oils that protect them from the environment. It can also damage hair follicles and increase the risk of bacterial or fungal infections.
- Heavy Exercise
Although exercise is very important for your pet’s health, we people should know our pet dog’s limits. breeds such as Bulldogs, Pugs, Shih Tzus and Pekingese have respiratory issues and are more likely to develop heat stroke than longer muzzled breeds. Obese and senior dogs should me given minimal exercise.
- Leash Pulling
Pressure on a dog’s neck from a tight leash can interrupt the flow of blood and air, leading to a number of health problems, such as thyroid damage, choking, and brain damage. In fact, high rates of thyroid issues have been observed in large dogs that frequently pull on the leash.
- Free Run
Keep in mind that if your dog is running freely, they may run into traffic, get into fights with other dogs, or chase a prey animal like a squirrel and disappear and get lost.
- Exposing Dogs to Cigarette Smoke and Dust
Dog’s lungs can’t handle cigarette smoke being blown at them all day. cigarette smoke can be extremely harmful to pets, causing all sorts of problems, such as respiratory issues or an increased cancer risk. marijuana smoke even in small amount is toxic to dogs.
- Stranger Fear
When our pet dogs do not have opportunities to meet other people or animals, they often develop fear or even aggression behavior towards other animals or humans. Socializing your dog with other animals teaches your pet to react to the world around them in a good manner.
- Essential Care
Combing avoids matting of hairs, skin diseases and helps to maintain a healthy coat. Few dogs need to have their nails clipped. Regular nail trims help reinforce healthy posture and foot structure.
