Guest dog (confirm introduction)
Guest dogs are very popular pet dogs. Guest dogs are very popular in China, so the number of people raising them has also increased. Having become a small member of many families, guest dogs are very demanding in life and diet.
My guest dog can move up and down the stairs dexterously and freely. As a owner, I don’t have to carry it up and down the stairs all the time. It is a proud and labor-saving thing. At present, we have to remind owners that dogs often use the stairs, which can easily cause damage to the dog's body over time.
The depth and height of stairs in common home apartments are not suitable for dogs to crawl away. Generally, the floor plan depth of apartments is between 25 and 28 centimeters, and the height is usually more than 20 centimeters, which is barely suitable for human use. Stairs with a plane depth of 60 centimeters and a height difference of 12 to 15 centimeters are more suitable for dogs.
Dogs that learn to climb stairs often like to climb stairs themselves because they are encouraged by their owners. However, dogs that have been climbing stairs for a long time will suffer damage to their lumbar spine or joints in their hands and feet as early as four years old, and may have functional impairments between six and eight years old. Therefore, careful owners will find that the dog’s ability to climb stairs seems to be okay at the age of four; after the age of six, the speed will slow down a lot; at the age of eight, the dog will definitely be able to climb the stairs obediently one step at a time. Walk up the steps.
The stairs are shallow and prone to prostrate for a long time, which can easily cause injuries to the dog's lumbar spine. Because the depth of the road surface is too shallow, the dog's hands, feet and feet cannot all land on the same plane. Therefore, when the dog goes up the stairs, almost every step must arch its back and waist to the end, so that the two hind feet cannot The foot pads are stretched forward to the inner front line of the foot pads of the two forelimbs, but the buttocks are still below the level of the foot pads of the two hind limbs. Often, the dog will try hard to use the pads of the two hind limbs to move its body upward at this time. The forelimb pads then climbed up the stairs, thus completing the eight steps between floors.
Of course, climbing stairs can promote the dog’s exercise, but long-term lack of accumulation will cause great burden on the dog’s lumbar spine and joints of hands and feet. Some dogs will even work hard under the encouragement and cheers of their owners. Rush to the top of the stairs, which will cause more serious harm to the dog!
