As a dog owner, the biggest wish should be to hope that your dog will be healthy, happy and long-lived. Today I want to talk to you about some behaviors that can easily lead to dog paralysis. Owners, please pay attention to the following behaviors, it is best not to do these behaviors!

1. It is good to let the dog exercise vigorously

Take the dog to exercise outdoors, but it cannot allow the dog to exercise vigorously. The risk of sudden death from strenuous exercise is itself high, and dogs often exercise vigorously, so their joints will wear more severely, and they are more likely to develop arthritis and limb paralysis in old age. Physical care must start from young age.

2. Let the dog walk upright

Now is the traffic era, and some owners will train their dogs to learn to walk in order to attract attention. In fact, the physiological structure of dogs is suitable for running limbs rather than walking upright. Dogs who often walk upright are prone to problems with the lumbar spine, which is prone to lumbar disc disease or nerve damage, resulting in terrible consequences of paralysis and disability.

3. Frequently letting dogs climb stairs

The dog's movements will also cause damage to its lumbar spine, especially small dogs and some dogs with short legs and long legs, such as dachshunds, corgis, etc. Climbing stairs for a long time will cause a huge burden on the dog's lumbar spine and limb joints. Over time, the dog will experience lumbar disc herniation and paralysis and unable to walk.

4. Dogs are often punished to stand

. In the practice of pet owners teaching dogs, we can often see dogs being punished to stand and face the wall to think about their mistakes. This behavior can also lead to hemiplegia of the dog. If you have this kind of liking, you should correct it in time, or try not to let the dog stand for too long, just click until it is time to let the dog understand and recognize its own mistakes. In addition to post-punishment, it is also important to correct dog mistakes, pre-education, snack rewards, and training.

5. Let the dog jump

I believe that many pet owners have done the behavior of seducing dogs with snacks and making them jump. This behavior itself is harmful and will cause greater harm to elderly dogs. When a dog jumps up and down, it can easily cause abnormal squeezing of the intervertebral disc, resulting in paralysis. For older dogs, owners should use gentler behaviors to interact to make them healthier.

In terms of staple food, you should also choose natural dog food that is light and low in salt, rich in protein, and easy to digest and absorb, which can reduce the digestion and absorption burden of dogs, intake of sufficient nutrients, and enhance physical fitness. Taking your dog out for a walk can also make your dog stronger and delay physical aging.
