Small sized dogs have very specific needs that should be considered to keep them healthy. If you live with a small sized dog and want to know more about how to care for them then read this article.
- Temperature changes
Small sized dogs can be vulnerable to temperature changes because they don’t store as much fat. So it’s a good idea for them to wear something warm when it gets cold outside.
- Correct nutrition
Small dogs have a faster metabolism than bigger dogs so it’s not necessary to feed them with so much time apart to keep them in shape.
- Short nails
Small dogs spend more time indoors. This means that their nails don’t wear off as much (which is a good thing), but sometimes they can hurt. Because of this they should get them trimmed often.
- Teeth
Small dogs frequently have dental issues so you need to brush their teeth a couple of times a month.
- Small heart
More than 50% of small dog breeds suffer from heart disease, especially after they turn 8 years old. If they pant too much or get tired easily it’s a good idea to take them to the vet.
- Cute and restless
We may think that most small dogs are loud and anxious but this can be controlled through proper training.
