In the river of human life, one year will be one-seven or even one-eighth for humans, but it is an extremely critical tenth for dogs. I firmly believe that some owners have already entered the elderly. When did you realize that the puppy has aged? If you are a puppy or a small puppy owner, if you can clearly understand the connection point of the puppy’s aging, then the time for the puppy to wait for everyone will increase a lot. The following 7 points should be mastered.
1. Facial work ability begins to decline
Aging of puppies is a decline in facial work ability, which is particularly tactile and visual decline, especially in relatively serious hearing damage, and the eyesight will gradually decrease and the small toys or the owner's back will not be seen, which will cause the puppies to be dull. Some puppies also have poor appetite due to the decline of hearing and taste buds. Paying attention to this situation can help the owner to tell whether the puppies must go to the hospital for physical examination of their faces as soon as possible.
2. The sleeping time begins to lengthen. The puppies usually like to take a nap and fall asleep, but the sleeping time of the elderly dogs will be abnormally long. Most of the time they spend sleeping in their own kennels, or napping under the sun.
3. The skin is just beginning to become dry and hair is just beginning to start to become laser
The most significant feature of aging of puppies is that the skin is gradually dry and some hair is laser. The skin of elderly dogs will not only become looser and less elastic, but also the puppy's elbows and nose are very dry and become scaly and shell-like. White hair will grow on the top of the head and around the lips of the dark brown dog, and the hair will not be as smooth as before. The owner can pay more attention to this when tidying his hair. In order to prevent the puppy from suffering from skin diseases, the owner can give the puppy some omega supplements.
4. At the beginning, it is different from the young dogs that like to hit everywhere. Older dogs are not prone to rush forward or make trouble without any consideration. When walking around, the puppy will reduce its speed, and its desire for knowledge about surrounding matters is not as obvious as that of the puppy. But this does not mean that the puppy hates having fun with the owner, and moderate fitness exercise is still a must.
5. Fitness exercises are not good at the beginning
The aging of puppies will also be more willing but not strong at the beginning. Aging will cause stiffness of the joints and muscles and lower energy. According to the intensity of the previous exercise, the puppies will be out of breath. The disadvantages of fitness exercise are the main reasons why puppies become more and more quiet and steady. The owner can usually consult a pet doctor and buy some supplements for the puppy that can improve the human bones, and do more flexion and extension to make the joints more flexible.
6. At the beginning, the regular physical examination of small pets must be conducted every quarter. The best situation is that it is at least twice a year. The regular physical examination of small pets can be conducted every quarter to see if the puppy changes in the process of improving age. Aging of puppies can also cause a decrease in immunity. When puppies have problems with human body, the owner must also seek medical treatment immediately.
7. Dietary matching changes at the beginning. The increase in the age of dogs will cause a more balanced combination of nutrition and diet, because the decline of auditory and taste buds will cause the puppy to have a lower appetite, and there will be problems with digestive tract function. The high efficiency of the nutritional intake of matching puppy will be less efficient. The owner can formulate professional dietary combinations or select suitable nutritional ingredients at the suggestion of a pet doctor to improve the digestive tract.
For puppy aging, in addition to taking puppy for routine physical examinations every quarter, the intensity of normal strolling exercise must also be changed according to the puppy's health status. It is best to prevent excessive exercise. When the puppy's schedule changes greatly, the owner should cooperate with each other as much as possible without disturbing it in order to prevent the puppy's mental outlook.
But the most important thing is that no matter what changes the dog's age improves, what they most expect is that the owner can be with them. They will not be able to throw themselves into your arms anymore, so please ask the owner to actively embrace it. They will not be able to run with you, so please feel it carefully and take a look at it. Maybe at some point, they can only open their eyes to see you, and at that time, expect you to be where it touches.
