For owners, sitting in the sun and petting dogs is a very pleasant thing to do on a winter afternoon. But what many owners don't know is that regular petting has many benefits for dogs, in addition to making owners feel comfortable.

1. Be able to keep track of the dog's health status

For For dogs, if the owner touches them frequently, then as long as the dog has a little abnormality, the owner can immediately find out. For example, in the process of petting the dog's body, if the owner finds that there is a wound or the dog shows pain and discomfort, they can know that there must be something wrong with the dog's body. At this time, the owner can immediately send the dog to the pet hospital for treatment. Therefore, the daily petting of the owners is a daily physical examination for the dog.

2. Make the dog more cooperative with the doctor's treatment in the future

For dogs, getting sick is inevitable. And if you get sick, some owners may be able to solve it by themselves, and some must be sent to a pet hospital for treatment by a specialized doctor. At this time, if the owners often pet the dogs at home, then during the treatment, the dogs will also be very accustomed to being touched by the doctors. But if dogs are seldom touched at home, then once the doctor examines them, they are easily frightened or even angry because of the doctor's touch, which makes the examination abnormal. It also slows down the process of dog treatment.

3. Can accurately grasp the nutritional status of dogs

For some dogs, especially long-haired dogs, because of their thick body Thick long hair hides them, so even if they are actually very thin at times, they will appear tall and strong because of the long coat on the outside. For these types of dogs, if owners can pet them regularly, it is easy to know the exact condition of their bodies, whether they are fat or thin, and whether they are malnourished. Therefore, for some long-haired dogs that look very slender, owners must not be confused by their appearance, and must judge whether they are too thin through actual petting.

For some overweight dogs, once the owners find that they can only touch the flesh and no bones at all, they should start to consider losing weight for them. . Because for dogs, if they are overweight, they will also suffer from high blood pressure and other wealthy diseases like humans, which will cause problems in the dog's heart and kidneys.

Also. It should be noted that if the owner has been able to directly touch the dog's uneven ribs or touch their sternum, pelvis, etc. during the process of petting the dog, then the dog must be in a state of being too thin. , the masters must make up for them in the future. What owners need to remember is that only dogs that can only vaguely touch part of the bones when looking for touch are healthy dogs, and the rest are either too thin or too fat.

For the sake of the health of the dogs, the owners should touch their bodies more in the future!
