The physiological knowledge that a qualified owner must know about dogs includes the dog's body temperature, sleep time, heartbeat and breathing frequency, pulse, total blood volume, chromosome number, plasma volume, and the dog's special physiological characteristics, such as keeping the nose moist and relying on the sense of smell to choose food.
But there are still some small physiological knowledge about dogs. Maybe you are not very clear about it, but when you master these basic knowledge in the process of raising dogs, we will lose a lot of confusion and concerns. Let’s take a look.
1. Do you know how many hours your dog needs to sleep every day?
Puppies usually take about 20 hours, while adults take 10-15 hours.
2. Do you know the body temperature of an adult dog?
Body temperature of healthy dogs: (determined by the anus)
Small dog: puppy 38.5-39℃ Adult dog 38-39℃
Medium dog: puppy 38.5-39℃ Adult dog 38-38.5℃
Large dog: puppy 38.2-39℃ Adult dog 37.5-39℃
3. How many years does the average lifespan of a dog have?
Generally speaking, the average age of small dogs is higher than that of large dogs. Generally, 12 years is the average age of a dog.
4. Do you know how many teeth are adult dogs?
42.
5. Do you know how many toes are in front and back feet of your dog?
The first 5 are there and the last 4 are there.
6. Why is the nose of your dog always wet?
Dogs will constantly lick their noses so that cells can contact more odor molecules to maintain their sense of smell.
7. Do you think dogs can distinguish colors?
Answer: No, dogs have poor ability to identify colors. They are basically color blind and can only distinguish between red and yellow light of medium and long light waves and short light waves.
8. Can dogs directly absorb fresh fruits and nutrients in vegetables?
No, dogs cannot absorb plant protein and must be converted into animal protein in the body.
9. When choosing food, dogs rely more on smell, taste or vision?
Smell, dogs have poor taste and very sensitive smell, so dogs often eat some foods that smell very well but taste average.
10. When the weather is hot, long-haired dogs need to be cut into hair. Can they feel comfortable?
No, because dogs' sweat glands are mainly distributed on the tongue and soles, and there are almost no sweat glands on their bodies, so cut the long hair short. It does not help them, but instead lets the sun shine directly, burning their skin.
11. Will dogs also suffer from mental anxiety and depression?
Yes, because dogs are also very mentally sensitive animals.
12. Can a dog understand your confidence?
No, but it can understand your tone.
13. Various physiological functions of dogs:
Heartbeat: 70-130 beats/min, puppies 200 breaths/min, 100 beats/min, 2}
Respiration: 10-30 beats/min, Pulse: 70-120 beats/min, Normal mandrel: +40 degrees - +100 degrees
Total blood volume: 8% of body weight - 9%
Tidal volume: 251-432 ml
Systolic blood pressure: 14.9 kPa (permissible range 12.7-18.1)
Diastolic blood pressure: 7.5 kPa (permissible range 5.8-9.7)
Chromosome: 78 plasma volume: 55.2ml/kgbw (permissible range 47.7-73.0)
