I believe that many parents will beat drums in their hearts. A common mistake parents make is to raise Labradors as if they were humans, and it's understandable to think that a Labrador's food is the same as a human being, but Food will only shorten the lifespan enough and will not benefit the Labrador's health at all.

Myth #1: Pregnant Labrador Retrievers cannot eat chicken and chicken bones

Some people think that feeding a pregnant Labrador with chicken or chicken bones will cause There is no scientific justification for miscarriage or early embryonic death. Miscarriage or early embryonic death is caused by certain pathogenic factors. Chicken or chicken bones do not contain any pathogens themselves. It turns out that pregnant female Labrador Retrievers can be fed chicken. However, chicken bones can easily cause esophageal obstruction, so it is best to feed less or not.

Myth 2: Control the food intake of the pregnant Labrador to prevent dystocia Many owners hope to prevent dystocia by controlling the food intake of the mother. In fact, this kind of understanding and practice is unscientific . There are many reasons for dystocia, mainly related to the length of pregnancy (the longer the pregnancy, the higher the probability of dystocia), nutrition (overnutrition, malnourished Labradors are prone to dystocia), exercise (pregnant Labradors do not exercise too much) Dystocia), whether the birth canal has stenosis or deformity, whether there is a history of dystocia and caesarean section, etc., overnutrition is only one of the possible reasons. Should the diet of the pregnant Labrador be controlled? If the Labrador has a good appetite and a large appetite, the intake should be controlled, especially foods containing more sugar. The general degree of control is based on the body condition of the female Labrador at the time of breeding, and it is appropriate that the female Labrador does not lose weight or gain weight during pregnancy.

Myth 3: There is no need to vaccinate and deworm domestic Labrador Retrievers It is unscientific to need to be vaccinated or dewormed. Although the Labrador does not go out for activities, the Labrador does not live in a sterile environment. For example, when it breathes, the pathogenic microorganisms in the air dust will enter the Labrador's respiratory tract and cause respiratory diseases; Labrador likes Licking the owner's shoes, clothes, floor and furniture, these things will inevitably not carry the disease www.dolipet.com, which will cause the Labrador to contract gastrointestinal diseases, and the dirty things will enter the gastrointestinal tract of the Labrador. It is also easy to be infected with parasites; in particular, it should be pointed out that crazy Labrador disease is a zoonotic disease, and when a healthy Labrador is infected, it is easily transmitted to its owner and cannot be cured. Therefore, Labrador Retrievers must be vaccinated against Labrador Distemper, Parvovirus, Crazy Labrador Disease and other vaccines.

Certain parasites in Labrador retrievers can also be transmitted to their owners. In addition, even if the room is particularly clean and hygienic, Labrador Retrievers never eat raw and cold food, and may still be infected by parasites. For example, Labrador roundworms can be transmitted through the placenta and milk of the female Labrador, that is, the Labrador may be infected with roundworms before birth or during breastfeeding; mosquito bites may infect the heart of the Labrador. Filaria. Therefore, the raised Labrador must also be dewormed in addition to vaccination. And, in fact, the Labrador needs exercise and light, and there should be a place for activities. Appropriate exercise can enhance the resistance of the Labrador, and it is more likely to get sick if the Labrador is locked at home.

Myth 4: Labrador Retrievers Can't Eat Salt Labrador Retrievers will lose their hair after eating salt, so Labrador Retrievers can only eat food without salt. This view is wrong. The sodium and chlorine in table salt can enable Labrador to maintain normal physiological functions, such as acid-base balance, gastric juice secretion, etc., and are the main electrolytes in body fluids. Salt can not only supplement the lack of sodium and chlorine in the food, but also a necessary component for the stomach to produce gastric acid. It is necessary to add an appropriate amount (1% is appropriate) of salt in the Labrador's food, and it can also improve the palatability of the food.
