THE “ANTI-SCIENTIFIC” WAY SHORTENING PETS’ LIFE

There is a fact that a lot of care that we think is good has a negative effect on pets’ health, and even reduces the lifespan of these four-legged friends.

1. Let the cat stand near the open window

When living in a high apartment, remember that you should limit your cat to approaching open windows. Sometimes they will follow inertia to jump out to catch a bird or an insect. Of course, if the position of this window is at level 2 or higher, the probability of your cat being injured or even death after landing is not small.

2. Combine both dry and fresh food in your cat’s meal

As soon as you start raising a cat, make a decision about your four-legged friend’s meal: fresh or dried, canned. In fact, many people try to combine these two foods because they think it is a balanced diet. However, experts say that this can adversely affect cat health if applied regularly.

It is easy to feed if you choose to buy ready-to-eat cat food. In case you feed them with fresh food, please know the following:

Foods suitable for cats:

– Low fat or non-fat dairy products (sour cream, fresh cheese, yogurt)

– Low fat meats (beef, veal, chicken, rabbit)

– Liver, heart, stomach

– Sea fish (cooked and bone type) – no more than twice a week

– Egg yolk – just once a week

Foods not suitable for cats:

– High fat meats (pork, lamb) – can adversely affect the liver of cats.

Fatty fish or river fish can make cats infected with parasites

– Spicy foods (smoked, fried, spicy)

– Sweet things

– Salt

– Onion

3. Give the dog the same food as the owner’s menu

Veterinarians share the same view that it is not a good idea to feed a dog with a completely homogeneous menu of the owner. Accordingly, the gastric, and esophagus of dogs and people are completely different. The digestive tract of these four-legged friends is hardly able to digest most of our food.

It is best to give your dog food that is neither added nor very spicy (especially avoid salt). Recommended menus are: dairy, meat, heart, kidney (not necessarily cooked). In addition, vegetables and some non-sweet fruits should also be added to their diets.

4. Wet the head first when bathing the dog

Dog wash is a way to keep them clean and prevent disease. However, if you bath your pet wrong method, then their health is more or less affected. Note that we need to remember to bathe only the head of the dog in the final stage, when the “finished” areas, because if the opposite, the animal will be very susceptible to cold. .

5. Do not give enough attention to your dog

Unlike cats who prefer freedom, dogs are a species that needs attention and communication with their owners and their peers. Frequent “playing” will help them develop character and enhance physical and emotional health. In contrast, a lonely dog will experience frightening, abnormal ferociousness, reduced life expectancy and less obedience to the owner.
