The weather is getting colder, and babies have to make arrangements for their food, clothing, housing, and transportation. Today, let’s first talk about whether colorful pet clothes are suitable for dogs and cats to wear? Is there any special food for the treasures to eat during winter? Especially this winter, the smog outbreak rate in major cities in the south is very high. If you go out to walk your dog every day, will this have any impact on the physical development of your pet?
1. To wear or not to wear?
Clothing comes first when it comes to food, clothing, housing and transportation. When the temperature drops, the first thing people do is add clothes. So do our beloved treasures also need to wear clothes?
In fact, mature adult pets do not need to wear clothes at home, because the hair covered on the pet's body is very deep and can absorb infrared heat energy and retain heat energy, especially the hair of most dog breeds and all cats. It is divided into two types. The inner layer is the down layer close to the skin. The characteristics of this layer of hair are soft and deep, which can retain heat and energy storage, while the outer layer is just the fur layer, which has thick and hard hair. It can block wind and waterproof like a coat, so cats And dogs' hair is their natural clothing. Of course, there are also short-haired dogs with relatively thin hair, such as Chihuahuas, Mini Dobermans, etc. Don’t worry. Although their hair is shorter, their hair also has a double-layer structure as mentioned above, which is related to their natural cold resistance. It is worse for dog breeds with thick hair and those with developed body types, but for the indoor temperature, it is still no problem. Pets have a very strong ability to adapt to the environment. Winter is the season when pets grow hair. If At this time, I am anxious to help the babies keep warm by adding artificial clothes. Firstly, it slows down the growth of hair. Secondly, unsuitable clothing fabrics can easily cause skin problems for pets. But the most important thing is that the babies Their ability to withstand the cold was wasted, and over time the babies' adaptability to the environment was reduced, and instead they became "pretty girls".
Of course, there are various pet costumes on the market, which are very cute and cute. How can we do without them? In winter, when the wind is strong, you might as well wear them for a short time outdoors, such as when you go out for a walk.
In addition, you may wish to use pet clothes made of pure cotton. Cotton is breathable and will not generate static electricity on the hair, making it suitable for close-fitting clothing. If you still want to wear a cute jacket, doing it this way can also play a role in separation.

2. Eat more fat to survive the winter? NO!
Dear, your baby does not need to hibernate, and there is almost no need to take a large amount of soup. Relatively speaking, in winter, it can increase the calories of food, but it is the current size of most pets. They are all medium to fat, and there is almost no need to eat extra meals. On the contrary, the amount of exercise in winter is reduced, and the body's own organization reduces fat accumulation, and the calories are enough.
As mentioned above, winter is a good time for hair growth. As an owner, you can add some skin and hair nutrients, such as skin care and hair beauty oil containing omega-3 and omega-6, which can help your babies grow hair. Deep hair reduces the skin's resistance.
The development of other bones is also very important to pay attention to. Winter is a period of high incidence of joint diseases. The drop in temperature will directly cause pain in the spinal lesions. A little exercise will cause the dog to become intolerant and develop the disease. To avoid When this happens, the first thing is to keep warm, secondly to increase circulation, and thirdly to use joint protective agents, such as joint health products containing glucosamine hydrochloride and chondroitin sulfate. Once the disease occurs, you still need to go to the hospital immediately.
Puppies and kittens in the growth and development period must pay attention to calcium supplementation and health care in winter. Relatively speaking, winter is a period of high incidence of fractures in puppies. Good bone nutrients will affect the calcium-phosphorus ratio.

3. Luxurious living~
A warm nest is an indispensable item for babies in winter. Experienced owners will find that even though it is winter, babies naturally don’t like to cover themselves with quilts and only like to go to warm places to nest. For example, cats like to sit on the computer host and the heat sink, and dogs like to sit on the sofa or even the owner's bed, so placing a soft and thick nest is the first choice. The soft touch will make your baby abandon your bed. When sleeping in your own nest, thick mats will block the air-conditioning brought by the floor. Secondly, the material, like clothes, is the best. Finally, it is also very easy to underestimate the size of the nest. The size of the nest should be appropriate. Your pets are about the same size when they sleep. It should be noted that this is the place where the pets sleep, not a play area. The communication space created by an overly large nest is not needed, but will make the cat feel unsafe. Dogs will mistakenly think that it is a play place similar to the sofa, and will eventually abandon their nest and sleep on the owner's bed.
However, there are two situations where special attention should be paid to keeping warm. One is puppies and kittens. The other is that sick pets, in addition to getting enough rest, must maintain the temperature of the resting place. Heating pads and electric heating lamps are very good choices. Pets with chronic diseases, such as those with respiratory diseases, should also pay attention to keeping warm. For puppies with heart disease, if the ambient temperature is higher to ensure smooth air flow, electric heaters are better than air conditioners. Because the hot air from the air conditioner moves upward, the heat on the floor is actually very little. Wearing clothes The heating effect of electric heating lamps is very limited. Dogs and cats are very smart and can go wherever they feel comfortable. Don’t worry about the limitations of electric heating lamps.
Special instructions should never be used to warm your baby. , some people stick warm babies on their distressed babies. Firstly, it is difficult to control the temperature and cause serious burns. (The body temperature of dogs and cats is higher than that of humans, and warm babies generate more heat.) Secondly, local fever and discomfort can cause gnawing. Bite, resulting in the ingestion of foreign objects, which is not worth the gain. ="1" alt="How will your treasure spend the winter? " title="How will your treasure spend the winter? ">

4. How does his vitality have nothing to do with this winter? Going out so early !
Many owners complain about why my baby doesn’t stay in bed at night, because the cold weather doesn’t affect his rhythm of going out at all. That’s because the dog’s psychological clock is very accurate. The changes are not effective at all, but the children in the south will be more greedy and enjoy the comfort at home in a warm place.
However, it is best to go out in heavy haze, which is the best air base. Serious contamination, your baby will be breathing the worst quality exhaust fumes.
The three types of dogs that are particularly concerned here are not suitable for going out in winter:
1. Puppies are very unsuitable for going out in haze days. Going out or being transported far away may cause emergencies due to changes in the environment. Erguang clinically found that puppies are more prone to respiratory symptoms such as coughing and runny nose due to their poor resistance and immunity, and require a very long adjustment period. Severe cases may not be cured
2. It is not recommended for dogs with bone, joint, and heart problems to go out for exercise in winter. Lowering the temperature and exercising may directly cause the outbreak of the disease. Do you have any questions here?
