How to raise a crested dog? Although it is called a Chinese crested dog, it is rare to see anyone raising it in China, so few people know how to raise it. The following editor will share with you how to raise a Chinese crested dog.
How to raise Chinese Crested Dogs:
The Crested Dog is one of the only hairless dog breeds. It is a small toy dog, not big, and its height is about 33 cm. It has a docile personality and is suitable for family breeding as a toy dog. What should we pay attention to when raising this special dog breed?
1. Regular and quantitative food supply
When raising Chinese Crested Dogs, you must first develop a good habit of eating regularly. Crested Dogs are very gluttonous, so they must be given a quantitative amount of food and cannot be allowed to overeat. Generally, the feeding utensils should be removed after 10-20 minutes after feeding, regardless of whether the animal has finished eating.
2. Food quality requirements
Food quality requirements are high, and non-vegetarian food is indispensable every day. Feed 200-250 grams of fresh chicken, fresh pork or fish, and beef a day. Meat should be minced and cooked until medium-cooked before feeding.
3. Meat and vegetable supplements
When feeding Chinese Crested Dogs, in addition to meat, certain vegetables (boiled in boiling water) or biscuits should also be given. It is important to note that crested dogs do not have premolars and must not be allowed to chew bones.
IV. Low-intensity activities
Crested dogs do not need to be given excessive amounts of exercise. It is enough to allow them to walk around indoors, jump or take a walk. This dog also likes to play with toys. You can give it some toys to let it move around the toys, but you cannot give it sharp and angular toys to prevent its skin from being punctured or bruised.
5. Easy to have allergic reactions
Due to their hairless body, crested dogs are prone to allergic reactions to wool. It is best not to wear woolen clothes when the breeder is close to the dog.
Six. Health status observation
Owners should pay attention to the dog's health status on weekdays, pay attention to whether its appetite has changed, whether its mental state is normal, whether the stool is dry and loose, and whether the nose is dry or wet. If any abnormality is found, it should be sent to the hospital for examination and treatment in time. Take treatment measures to prevent minor illnesses from becoming serious illnesses due to negligence.
7. Bare and hairless skin
Because the skin of Chinese Crested Dogs is exposed and not protected by coat, it is sometimes easy to damage the skin. Owners need to pay special attention to this in daily care. If you raise crested dogs at home, furniture with sharp edges should be removed to avoid scratching the dog's skin.
8. Hypoplasia of molars
Owners need to know that the premolars of Chinese Crested Dogs are underdeveloped, so they are not suitable for chewing bones. Owners must not let them eat food containing bones.
9. Bath your dog frequently
Most dogs need to pant to dissipate heat, and some need to open their mouths and stick out their tongues to dissipate heat, but crested dogs are special. Their skin is connected to sweat glands and can directly discharge sweat from the skin. The breeder should bathe it frequently and apply some baby skin care oil on it to make its skin smooth.
10. Clean and hygienic environment
If you raise a Chinese Crested Dog, and to raise a Chinese Crested Dog well, parents should also clean the home environment in a timely manner to provide a clean and comfortable living environment for the Chinese Crested Dog. The quality of the owner's living environment can also be improved, which is also very beneficial to the owner's health.
