Today, the editor will explain to you the raising methods for Pomeranians, so that your dog becomes more and more cute. Come and take a look!
How to Raise a Pomeranian
1. Life should be regular. Feeding should be timed and measured, and nutrition should be balanced. Do not let the dog develop the bad habit of being picky about food, which can lead to nutritional imbalance. Pay attention to preventing hypervitaminosis (especially vitamin A or D) or calcium deficiency. Puppies should not eat too full; generally 7~8 parts full is enough. It is strictly forbidden to feed spoiled food. It is best to wash the food bowl after each feeding, as this can prevent diarrhea or food poisoning.
2. Pay close attention to observing the puppy's urination and defecation conditions to judge whether they are normal. Pay attention to the color, smell, and presence of worms in the dog's stool. Normal feces are strip-shaped, moderately soft and hard, and usually slightly yellow. But it is also affected by food; for example, when there is a lot of meat or some liver is fed, the feces are generally black.
3. Dogs are afraid of cold, so whether it is winter or summer, pay attention to keeping the puppy warm. Do not let the puppy's belly stay on the ground for a long time, as this makes it easy to catch a chill, causing diarrhea or a cold.
What to Note When Keeping a Pomeranian
1. Be sure to give injections, for rabies and to prevent distemper and parvovirus, because diseases such as distemper and parvovirus are extremely common. Once contracted, not to mention spending several thousand on treatment, in most cases they cannot be cured and the dog dies.
2. It should eat dog food at least once a day; buy a relatively good brand, so the dog will not become fat and it will regulate its stomach, intestines, and body, and can also help grind its teeth.
3. The dog should drink more water. Prepare a bowl of water and put it on the ground every day so it can drink at any time.
4. Absolutely do not give chocolate, grapes, onions, or garlic, as in serious cases these can cause death.
5. When it is a bit older, at half a year old, take it out every day for exercise, which will be very good for its body and mood.
6. Play with it more, but do not spoil it too much, otherwise it will treat you as one of its own kind rather than as its owner. There should be appropriate ownerly authority, but you must not hit it.
7. Do not bathe it too frequently. If it is dirty, bathe it once a week. Frequent bathing will damage its immune system.
How to Raise a Pomeranian Puppy
1. Generally, when a Pomeranian is about 2 months old, it begins to change teeth, and at this time it grows permanent teeth. At this time its baby teeth are especially sharp. The owner can prepare a towel, wet it with ice water, and let it chew on it (the cold coolness can relieve the pain of changing teeth), or give it some toys it can chew on.
2. The owner should also change to a suitable diet according to the Pomeranian's growth rate, so as to promptly supplement the nutrition its body needs. What we also need to pay attention to is that the owner must not feed the Pomeranian leftovers that people have not finished eating, because human meals contain a relatively large amount of salt. If eaten for a long time, it will cause the Pomeranian's coat color to become dry and lack luster, and may also cause hair loss.
3. In addition, a small Pomeranian between 2 and a half months and 3 months old is in the best learning period and has a particularly strong ability to accept new things. At this time, initial guidance training can be carried out.
4. Let it know the owner's meticulous love for it, and let it understand from this the joy of obeying the owner. This can be used as a basis and reinforced through training. First, train its defecation problem. You need to set up a fixed defecation place for it, and let it know that the defecation location cannot be changed at will.
5. When the Pomeranian reaches 4 months old, it seems full of curiosity and freshness toward everything. At this time you can often go out and play with it, which can increase the emotional communication between you.
How to Train a Pomeranian to Go to the Bathroom
1. When young, Pomeranians urinate and defecate irregularly and excrete very, very many times, so training is somewhat difficult. As the owner, you must be patient. Before training it to urinate and defecate at a designated place, you must make sure it already understands its own name, and also understands the tone of your praise and criticism, and let it understand your command for it to go to the toilet.
2. Each time it comes out of the crate, first take it to its toilet, and only after it finishes defecating let it go play. After several times, it will gradually form a habit. If it does it right, praise it promptly or reward it with some tasty little snacks, and the dog will be more willing to cooperate. If it does not relieve itself at the place you designated, you can use a stern tone to tell it that this is wrong. Then thoroughly clean the ground and spray deodorant. After repeating this many times, the puppy will slowly form the concept of where it can excrete and where it cannot.
After reading so much knowledge about raising Pomeranians, friends who want to keep a Pomeranian must have written it down in a little notebook by now! Then hurry up and start keeping one! However, the editor wants to remind all friends to remember to take the dog to a regular hospital for vaccinations on time.
