When people go out to walk their cats and dogs, they often find that their dogs are eating some soil or branches. Many cat slaves will think that dogs eat because of curiosity. In fact, dogs have a disease called pica. So how can we deal with pica like dogs? Let’s take a look.
Causes of pica 1. Psychological disorders
For example, some families are fed together by multiple dogs, which are relatively dense, insufficient indoor ventilation at home, time of sunlight and discomfort in the light, which all make the dogs feel bad and depressed. There is also a situation where the dog lacks the care of its owner in order to solve loneliness, the dog will create a desire for knowledge about the dirty things around him. If the cat slaves do not stop immediately, this personal behavior will cause pica.
2. Nutritional elements
Some pet dogs have poor dietary combinations, which will lead to lack of trace elements, or due to poor gastrointestinal tract and poor digestion, which will also cause pica. Some trace elements are lacking, such as calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, sulfur, iron, sodium and other minerals, and some vitamins and trace elements are also lacking, causing the dog's body to be confused in its metabolic function and symptoms of heteroemoepith.
3. The endotoxin or irritation caused by ectopic parasites can also cause pica. The digestive effect of the gastrointestinal cerevisiae causes the reduction of the digestive effect of the gastrointestinal tract, resulting in insufficient trace elements in dogs and causing pica. There are also some internal medical diseases that can cause stress responses to dogs and develop pica.
4. Dogs are naturally
Dogs are naturally keen on playing, engaging, and have a strong desire for knowledge, especially newborn young dogs. They are full of curiosity for all kinds of things in the natural environment and will search for things they don’t understand based on their lips. If such personal behavior is not corrected immediately, they will also develop pica.
For example, dogs eat shit, it is actually a dog's nature. If you find that a dog licks excrement, you will be punished and scolded immediately. There is no need to clean up the excrement immediately. If you find that you still lick it, you will be punished again, so that the dog can realize the adverse effects of this type of personal behavior and slowly quit bad habits. If you find that your dog no longer licks and defecates, you can use snacks to give praise and rewards, so that good habits can be promoted.
Prevent dogs from becoming pica. During the growth and development of dogs, cat slaves should correctly guide them to metabolize in fixed areas, immediately eliminate excrement, and cultivate dogs' excellent metabolic habits.
