Dog
Friends who are planning to raise a dog will all have this question. How old is the best age to start raising a dog? In fact, this problem requires comprehensive analysis from many aspects to draw a conclusion. Dogs are extremely emotional. Animals need extra careful care from their owners when they are young.
1. Survival rate:
When a dog is born, it brings some antibodies from its mother, which can help the dog avoid surprise attacks by fatal diseases for a period of time after birth. After one month, this protection weakens, and vaccination begins. Within three months, all vaccinations are completed, and corresponding antibodies are produced in the body. When a dog arrives at a new home, changes in the environment will cause the dog to become nervous, eat abnormally, etc. If the dog is weak at this time and does not produce antibodies to some fatal diseases, it is easy to get canine distemper. , parvovirus and other fatal diseases, and the earliest symptoms of canine distemper are similar to those of wounds, and parvovirus is also very similar to common diarrhea. For new dog owners, it is easy to ignore these diseases and wait until By the time it developed to the point where he had to go to the hospital, the dog was already hopeless. So in terms of survival rate, as for the question of how many months to start raising a dog, the editor’s answer is: three months.
2. Difficulty of feeding
This is also a very fundamental issue. The nutritional needs and digestion abilities of dogs in different eras are different. Therefore, the smaller the dog, the more it needs to eat less and more frequently. A two-month-old puppy must eat at least four times a day. They cannot eat too much at one time because they do not know how to control their food intake. Eating too much will cause indigestion and diarrhea. Anything less will affect its development. After three months, the dog will eat three times a day. If you can't remember to feed it at noon, it won't be a big problem if you eat more or less. In this way, as a dog parent or mother, you will be more relaxed and don't have to run back to feed it at noon every day. Generally speaking, it is easier to raise a dog that has been raised for three months.
3. The degree of intimacy with people
Some people worry about how old a dog should be when raising a dog, and they are more worried that the dog will not be close to them. It turns out that this worry is superfluous. A puppy that is one or two months old has a very weak memory for its owner, just like we can't remember our childhood.affairs are common. A dog's genius will feel particularly close to and dependent on the first person who has the most contact with it, feeds it, and plays with it. Naturally, it may be difficult for an adult dog to get very close to it very quickly, but for puppies of three to four months old, they will quickly get to know their owners and remember their own. Name, I understand that I have a new home, so you can rest assured.
Editor’s reminder:
Look at the puppy to know the big dog: For those who are planning to raise a dog, it is also important to know the height of the dog you want to raise as an adult. There is a "three-year-old age test", and dogs can also judge the size of adult dogs based on the height of puppies. The height of a three- to four-month-old puppy should be about half that of an adult dog (partial summary for reference).
