Can I keep a dog while pregnant?

 Many people will have a question, can I have a dog during pregnancy? In fact, you can keep a dog during pregnancy, so you don’t have to worry about it. Don’t worry about the impact of dogs on pregnant women and babies. As long as they are raised scientifically, dogs can not only add fun to the family but also cultivate children’s sense of responsibility from an early age. 


Many people worry about keeping dogs during pregnancy, mainly because they are afraid of parasites on their dogs. In fact, the parasites everyone is talking about are actually Toxoplasma gondii. For this parasite, there is no need to worry about transition, because the path of infection is very complicated, and the chance of getting sick can be said to be minimal. 

1. A dog is different from a cat. Cats will excrete Toxoplasma eggs from the body through defecation. But the digestive system is different, Dogs don’t get rid of the Toxoplasma eggs at all. Therefore, if you have a dog at home, you don’t have to worry about it carrying toxoplasma. Even if a dog has Toxoplasma gondii, it cannot be transmitted to humans. Just take a deworming medicine on a regular basis.

2. Even if the dog eats Toxoplasma eggs in the body, there is no need to worry. Dogs don’t excrete Toxoplasma eggs from the body. Regularly deworming your dog will be fine. Not only does Toxoplasma gondii, but there are also no other parasites in the dog’s body. So when you are pregnant, you don’t need to worry about your dog causing harm to the pregnant woman. 


Keeping a dog during pregnancy needs to follow the scientific method

1. First, regularly vaccinate and deworm the dog. 

2. Pay attention to dog hygiene and avoid contact with stray dogs outside. 

3. The daily arduous task of cleaning up dog poop must be done by someone other than pregnant women. 

4. Don't give dogs raw meat or uncooked meat. Many dogs have insects because they eat raw meat! 


At the same time, mothers-to-be also need to pay attention to many aspects, and some bad habits need to be adjusted and paid attention to.

1. We must avoid over-affectionate with the dog.

2. If your dog still likes to pounce on people, this is more dangerous. If a dog that is too big still likes to pounce on people, such as a large dog like the Golden Retriever or Alaska, consider whether to separate from it or to minimize contact with it.

3. Pregnant women try not to go out for walking the dog, no matter how well-behaved the dog is usually.

According to some conclusions mentioned above, in fact, you can have a dog when you are pregnant. As long as the dog is kept scientifically and rationally, everything will be fine.

Improper use of dog collars can cause these 5 major hazards

The dog’s neck is a relatively weak place. When you pull the collar closer, the stimulus to the dog’s neck can well control the dog’s behavior.  However, improper use of the collar has a great hidden danger, which will endanger the dog’s life and safety. 1. Cause the dog to breathe If the dog’s collar is tightly fastened, the dog’s trachea will be compressed, resulting in poor breathing. If the dog is more naughty and pulls you forward, it will further oppress the trachea, which is prone to danger. If the dog runs around with a collar all the time, and accidentally gets caught by other things, it may also cause suffocation.  2. Affect blood transport Dog collars should not be worn for a long time. Dogs have arteries and veins in their necks. Long-term wearing will affect blood circulation. Insufficient blood supply to the brain leads to slow cell metabolism, resulting in damage to the dog's body functions.  3. Cause muscle strain When ...

If people think they are cute, they may be brought home on a whim. After I went back, I found that the dog’s personality and life characteristics were completely different. Therefore, be prepared before raising a dog. If you don't have a favorite breed, you can first understand the relevant breed before deciding which one to raise.  The British Kennel Association is the earliest kennel association in the world. We divide the types of dogs into seven categories according to their standards.  1.
