Compared with other breeds of dogs, teacups are hard to keep. Teacup dogs originated in the United States and developed in Japan and South Korea. It's a puppy born of a gene mutation in a toy poodle.
Because of its small size, it can be put into a teacup, so it is called a teacup dog. Because of its small size, it is basically below 20 cm and weighs no more than 3.6 kg, so it is very weak and difficult to treat when it is sick. In addition, the bone development of tea cup dogs is not very good, so it is not appropriate to exercise too much. If you exercise too much, it will easily lead to fractures, so it is not easy to raise.
A healthy teacup dog can live for about 10 years. If the growth environment is strict, its life can be longer, and it can live to 10 to 15 years. But now some merchants will inject the dog with a teacup needle instead of a teacup dog, which will greatly shorten their life span, living for four or five years, or even dying in a few months.
Key points of raising teacup dogs:
1, reasonable diet: The body of teacup puppies is in a period of rapid development, so they need to provide adequate nutrition, give digestible and soft food, and protect their intestines and stomach.
2, eat less and eat more meals: when feeding the teacup dog, pay attention to the method of eating less and eating more meals. On the one hand, it can ensure the dog's physical strength, on the other hand, it is also conducive to gastrointestinal digestion. For puppies, you can feed them three or four times a day, and the amount of each time should not be too much.
3. Drink nutritious water: When the teacup dog is exercising, you can mix some grape water to ensure the water in the body. You can also add a little calcium or cellulose to the water to supplement the nutrients needed by the dog's body in the form of liquid food, so that the bones of the teacup dog are stronger.
4. Eat meat in moderation: If a dog with a cup of tea eats too much meat, it will not only make it strong, but will accumulate in large quantities, making it difficult to digest, and it will also lead to other nutritional deficiencies and physical deformities in the body, so eat meat in moderation.
