After bringing their puppies home, many owners rush to search for puppy feeding strategies on various websites, or seek advice from experienced pet owners around them. Today, the editor will introduce to you whether it is good for puppies to bask in the sun. Newbies who want to know should quickly collect it!
1. The benefits of sunbathing for dogs
1. Sunbathing can promote the absorption of calcium in dogs, prevent dogs from calcium deficiency, bone deformation, etc., and play a certain role in preventing rickets and hooves in dogs.
2. Sunlight contains ultraviolet rays, which can promote melanin deposition and make the dog's nose darker. It can also effectively sterilize and disinfect the dog's hair.
3. Basking in the sun can effectively increase blood circulation in the dog’s body and promote metabolism.
2. How long should a puppy bask in the sun?
A puppy should bask in the sun for about 1-3 hours every day. Because the body and skin of newborn puppies do not have the ability to feel heat, too strong light may cause skin sunburn, so puppies should not bask in the sun for too long every day, and they should not be exposed to the sun.
3. Precautions
1. Puppies that have not been vaccinated have poor resistance and are susceptible to diseases outdoors, so it is not recommended to take them outside to bask in the sun. The owner can put the puppy in a place where it can be exposed to the sun at home.
2. Puppies should not be exposed to the sun, and they should not be exposed to the sun for too long every day. Under normal circumstances, puppies should choose to bask in the morning or when the temperature is moderate, not noon or afternoon, otherwise the puppy will suffer from heatstroke or sunstroke.
