Greyhound breeding methods and precautions:
Puppies are generally Greyhounds that are 60 days to 3 months old. During this stage, the puppy should be carefully cared for due to weaning and changes in the living environment, which often tends to cause mental and behavioral disturbances and loss of appetite. Feed three times a day, the food should be supplemented with calcium powder and vitamins, but also pay special attention to prevent a few puppies overbearing overeating, the amount of daily feeding should be determined by the size of the dog, should not be fed too full, in order to seventy to eighty percent of the satiety of the dog is good, and feed each puppy about 150 milliliters of drinking water. Arrange for an appropriate amount of outdoor exercise every day, and ultraviolet radiation, which is conducive to the absorption of calcium and the growth and development of bones.
Young dogs are usually Greyhounds that are 3 months – 6 months old after birth. Young dogs have been able to live independently, feeding can be changed to twice a day, feeding should be timed, quantity, quality, temperature, eat food should be looked after.
At this time, the young dog’s canine teeth have grown, like to chew, can be appropriate to throw some bones to make it bite and chew. The dogs should be separated according to the strength of the group, pick out the young dogs that love to fight, and put them into the group of older dogs, so as not to bite the group, resulting in losses.
To ensure that your Greyhound has a daily activity level, he should be in a large exercise yard two to three times a day for about 30 minutes each time.
In order to avoid the occurrence of various canine diseases, the Greyhound should be programmed for immunization during its growth. First of all, the Greyhound should be vaccinated, the first vaccination is at the age of 30 days, the second is at the age of 60 days, the third is at the age of 120 days, and then immunized again at the age of 6 months, and the dosage of each vaccination is based on the instruction manual of the drug. Secondly, we should pay attention to checking the feces, and regularly give the Greyhound deworming drugs, such as Roundworm Spirit or Levamisole, in order to drive out the internal parasites. Puppies 60 days after birth, all take Roundworm Spirit once, and then every 2-3 months, but in areas with high parasite prevalence should be once a month or once a month and a half. The unique nature of the Greyhound’s physiology and anatomy makes treatment by a veterinarian familiar with the breed usually necessary, especially if anesthesia is required.
Caveats:
Myth 1: Fish and Chicken Bones
Because Greyhounds are used to swallowing without chewing, this often results in vomiting, diarrhea or constipation. Fish and chicken bones can also get stuck in the throat. A small amount of pork or beef bones can be given to the Grizzly to chew on. A Grizzly chewing on bones is just a hobby, and eating bones does not necessarily make a dog’s bones grow strong. Cats should be even less likely to eat bones, as too much calcium can cause them to have urinary system problems.
Myth 2: Offal + white rice
It’s a cliché, but this kind of food is most likely to cause skin problems in pets, such as eczema, dandruff and itchy skin. The same goes for cats, as over-eating can lead to vitamin A toxicity and bone problems, so it’s a good idea to give their favorite liver a change of pace every once in a while. Regular consumption of rice can lead to enlargement of the lower half of the dog’s body, resulting in substandard body shape.
Myth 3: Seafood
There are fish bones inside the fish, which can get stuck in the cat’s throat if the cat is not careful. Moreover, fish bones contain calcium and phosphorus, which can cause urinary stones in cats if eaten for a long time. Squid, squid and some shellfish meat contain some ingredients that cats are not adapted to, and eating too much will cause indigestion and gastrointestinal disorders in cats. Some seafood can also cause skin inflammation in cats, so let the cat eat a small amount before feeding, and give it in moderation only after there is no reaction.
Myth 4: The host’s meal
Our meals contain quite a bit of oil, salt and other flavorings, and some even contain quite a few spices, all of which should not be fed to pets. Too much oil and salt are not good for their bodies. Spicy ones are even worse and will cause them gastrointestinal discomfort.
Myth 5: Chicken + Pork + Beef
Pets do love to eat meat, occasionally feeding can be, but long-term feeding meat in addition to let them develop the habit of picky eating, partiality, but also very easy for them to produce problems in the mouth, such as cavities, tartar, etc., the most common is the oral cavity odor. Meat with spicy ingredients will dull the cat’s sense of smell and is not suitable for feeding.
Myth 6: Chocolate
The most terrible is chocolate, chocolate contains theobromine can cause food poisoning in dogs, some data show that: 1 kilogram of dog eating 9 grams of pure chocolate may lead to death. Chocolate poisoning can cause vomiting and diarrhea, frequent urination, hyperactivity, rapid heartbeat and respiration and even death due to loss of cardiovascular function. Be careful!
Myth 7: Milk + Raw Protein
Although milk is highly nutritious, it is not easy for cats and dogs to digest and absorb and may cause diarrhea. Do not feed cats raw protein, which contains an antibiotic protein that will neutralize important vitamins in the cat’s body, causing them to lack the ability to absorb vitamins.
Myth 8: Ice cream, cream cake + mooncake
In fact, ice cream, cream cakes, moon cakes, dumplings, these are not necessary to give the pet to eat, some contain too much sugar, some are not easy to digest, easy to cause obesity or diarrhea, in short, the pet’s intestines have a great impact.
Myth 9: Onion + Shallot
The smell of onions and scallions can have an effect on your pet’s sense of smell, dogs that eat onions often are prone to ringworm, while scallions irritate the intestines of dogs and cats, they should never be given these things, and foods like hamburgers that have onions or scallions added to them should never be fed.
