Usually, puppies gradually age by the age of 7 to 8, and their physical functions become older. Because of the different types, natural environment and feeding management methods, there are also differences in aging standards. When dogs enter the aging period, the internal organs of the body undergo a very big change, so the medical care of elderly puppies must be understood, because at this time their skin is getting dry, loose, lacking elasticity and prone to skin diseases. The hair falls slowly, and the color changes, white hair occurs on the top of the head and around the lips.
Dogs after the age of 10 have reduced eyesight and English listening, yellow teeth, weight loss, and energy gradually weakened. Human fat edema, warts and brown spots occur on the surface of the body. When the dog is in an aging stage, the owner should pay more attention to care and choose a scientific and reasonable feeding management plan for the physiological characteristics of the old dog.
In the ageing period, you should feed soft ingredients or semi-smoked juices with rich and colorful protein and fat ratios, and feed less foods containing dietary fiber but not easy to digest, and less salt.
Because the dog's physical resistance decreases after aging, and its adaptability to hot and cold climate problems is very poor, measures should be adopted to prevent cold and keep warm and reduce heat. Check the dog's physical condition, pay attention to medical care, and treat it immediately if there is any abnormality.
When the dog enters the age, it cannot do a lot of fitness exercises. At this time, doing some appropriate outdoor activities is beneficial to physical and mental health. The muscles, bones and joints of elderly dogs are aging, and they are no longer as cheerful and active as they were when they were young, and their temperament has also undergone a big change. Sometimes they are becoming more and more weird. At the same time, the quality of sleep increases, and they like to be quiet and lie down, which is prone to fatigue. Therefore, when exercising outdoors, you should not let the elderly dogs exercise excessively, and you should not let the objective reality perform complex and difficult movements to prevent accidents.
In addition, it is best to bathe the elderly dog once a month, the temperature should be appropriate and the time should be short to prevent other diseases from occurring in fever and colds.
