How to raise a Teddy dog
Teddy dogs can be cared for from several aspects, including diet, deworming, hair care, and health. First of all, it is best for Teddy dogs to only eat specialized Teddy dog food, and not human food or food with high salt content. Secondly, puppies under 6 months old should be dewormed monthly, and those over 6 months old should be dewormed every three months. Additionally, Teddy dogs should have their hair brushed 2-3 times a week. Lastly, many Teddy dogs suffer from congenital patellar dislocation, so regular check-ups are necessary and avoid frequent stair climbing.
- Diet
Teddy dogs are best suited to eat specialized Teddy dog food. Adult dogs should consume adult dog food, and all dog foods will indicate the appropriate age range. When switching dog foods, do so gradually instead of abruptly. Do not feed Teddy dogs human food or food with high salt content. Puppies have underdeveloped digestive systems and cannot eat hard food, so it's best to feed them soft food soaked in milk. Only provide regular treats, and avoid spoiling them.
- Deworming
Administer the first round of deworming 20 days after the puppy is born. Puppies under 6 months old should be dewormed monthly, and those over 6 months old should be dewormed every three months. If the dog often goes outside, it is recommended to administer external deworming once a month to prevent parasites both inside and outside the body.
- Hair Care
Teddy dogs have long, curly hair, which requires regular brushing. It is generally recommended to brush the dog's hair 2-3 times a week to prevent knotting and skin diseases or parasites. Use dog-specific shampoo when bathing the dog.
- Health Issues
Many Teddy dogs have genetic diseases, such as patellar luxation. If you notice your dog lifting its leg unnaturally while playing, take it to the vet immediately for X-ray diagnosis. Another point to note is to regularly check and maintain the dog's health to prevent frequent stair climbing.
