5 Major Benefits of Schnauzers: No Surprise They’re So Popular
Schnauzer has always been known as the “little old man” and is loved by everyone. Although the number of people who keep it is not as many as Teddy, it is not small. But do you know why Schnauzer is so popular? Today, let’s talk about the five advantages of Schnauzer. No wonder so many people keep it.
Strong social skills: Schnauzer is very friendly to other dogs and can easily become good friends. It is not afraid of larger dogs and can play with almost all of them.
Less hair loss: Another advantage of Schnauzer is that it sheds less hair, so it will save a lot of trouble in cleaning. However, its hair will always grow and will be messy if it is not trimmed. However, Schnauzer with a haircut is really good-looking, and passers-by want to touch it when they see it.
Light body odor: In addition to not shedding hair, Schnauzer also has a small body odor and does not emit a strong odor at ordinary times, but regular bathing is still necessary. Don’t bathe Schnauzer too frequently, otherwise it will easily damage the protective layer of hair, causing the hair to become rough and dull.
Short exercise time: Because Schnauzers are small dogs, the amount of exercise is relatively small. It is enough to take them out for a walk once a day for an hour. If the weather is bad, you can let them play at home. It is not like Huskies, which have to go out every day.
Easy to train: Schnauzers have high IQ and fast reaction speed. They can learn a new skill after a few trainings. Of course, if you can add interaction and snack rewards during the training process, Schnauzers can learn faster.
Daily feeding precautions:
1. It is best not to bathe a new dog within 20 days after it enters the house.
2. The diet should be changed gradually. It is best for Schnauzers who have just arrived home to eat porridge-like food or dry food soaked in water.
3. Feed dog food four times a day, 2/3 of a standard paper cup each time.
4. Do not feed too cold or too hot food.
5. Do not feed spoiled and rotten food. Clean the food bowl before feeding to prevent the dog from diarrhea or food poisoning.
6. Provide sufficient and pure water to the dog at ordinary times, especially pay attention to the Schnauzer’s beard. It is recommended to use a water dispenser to feed water.
7. Behavioral training, such as territorial awareness, defecation training, food refusal training, etc.
