Normal feeding of golden retriever requires a minimum consumption of 1,000 yuan per month.
I didn’t expect to spend so much money on raising golden retrievers before raising them.
And money is only a part of the price. In fact, Golden Retriever has many practical problems.
Common problems in raising golden retrievers for ordinary people.
It costs a lot! Great body odor! Hair loss! Boom, rush, jump! It takes a lot of time to walk the dog! Golden retrievers are easy to fight! Easy to get skin diseases!
All large dogs are expensive, and the high abandonment rate of golden retrievers is due to more people buying golden retrievers, and Labrador is the same.
Husky, Alaska and German shepherd dogs also have high abandonment rates.
The normal feeding expenses of the above dogs will not be less than 1000 per month.
In real life, there are still a few people who take out at least 1000 yuan a month to raise dogs.
After all, the living expenses of college students are now more than 1000 a month.
I posted a list of my monthly expenses for cheap dogs.
Cheap dog monthly expenses
Golden retriever’s adult weight of 30-40 kilograms is only dog food and insect repellent, which is basically 1000 yuan per month. This expense is not a bath. After all, some people will wash it at home to save money.
In principle, all large dogs must be supplemented with calcium and chondroitin, because the weight base is large, the maintenance is not good, and the hip joint will be bad early.
Chondroitin is not cheap. You have to add fish oil if you want dog hair to look good, and fish oil is not cheap either.
Chondroitin is more than 100 barrels per bottle, at least one barrel per bottle per month. Some large dogs are not well maintained. At the age of six or seven, they may be lame after a little exercise, and they need to be nursed back to health with an expensive non-health chondroitin drug.
The price of homemade dog food can be reduced, but many people are not diligent to that extent.
Apart from economic problems.
Many people have no experience in raising dogs, so they brush Tik Tok Little Red Book and read some so-called pet recommendation, and then they get big dogs on impulse.
Those mouths are false, very wicked! Very wicked! ! Very wicked! ! !
People who say that these kinds of medium and large dogs are easy to raise have never had them at all.
It would be nice to keep these dogs alive.
Feed well and train well.
The dog-raising state of the dog trainer cannot be regarded as the dog-raising state of ordinary people.
Dog trainers dare to raise Peter, Dugao and Rottweiler. Do ordinary people have nothing to do with this kind of dog and want to get bitten?
A handful of ordinary people, raising a teddy, can bark and bite endlessly.
Not to mention the advantages of the golden retriever, as everyone knows, I will specifically talk about the shortcomings that ordinary people with golden retrievers will have to raise.
1. Very strong body odor
Golden retriever itself is not small, after all, there are water hound genes, and oil secretion is strong.
Golden retriever and Labrador are typical dogs that need to pay attention to their diet and take the high-end feeding route.
If the feeding is rough, the daily food is cheap and not suitable for the dog’s stomach.
Smelly Plus
Most of the golden hairs seen in daily life can be described as stinky.
This is because Golden Retriever has a large appetite. If you choose a catty of dog food from 30 yuan, the consumption of dog food will be close to 1,000 yuan a month.
If the dog food is better, the price will go up.
Ordinary people really can’t stand it, so they buy some very cheap straw grain and soil-mixed grain, which are cheap for a few dollars a catty. An aunt in our community took her son’s golden retriever out for a walk and said sadly that the dog food she ate was seven yuan a catty! Seven yuan a catty! ! !
This will cause the dog to smell invincible, and the smell of shit will be like a barn in the country.
If a young man keeps his own dog and opens the door after a day’s work, the smell of dog odor and shit will come to his face.
Bring it in and think about what mood.
2. Golden retrievers are easy to fight with male dogs of the same size!
If you are unfortunate enough to have a golden retriever, it will add a pit to the pit. Although golden retrievers are warm to people, they hate every male dog of every breed equally.
Golden retriever is a Labrador-differentiated variety, but there are differences in the cultivation direction.
In daily life, it is quite common for a male golden retriever to grin with a male dog of the same size.
There is still a strong tolerance for the little male dog that can make the golden retriever bite, as long as the little male dog does not dance in front of the golden retriever owner.
If you try to provoke the golden retriever owner, the golden retriever will pass by with a sigh.
Can the owner who can make a dog like this leave you alone? Can I not correct you? It’s disgusting when you meet it once.
The most troublesome thing about having a golden retriever is fighting with the same size.
Adult golden retrievers can grow to 70 kg at will.
Two dogs of the same size fight, which warrior dares to pull up?
It’s okay if you can’t keep your mouth shut. If you have blood in your mouth, you will inevitably get a wound.
According to what I have seen in my limited daily life, dogs of this size have never seen a dead mouth in a fight, and rarely have they never seen a dead mouth.
Some sister papers have been fooled into raising golden hair, thinking that they can protect themselves. It is good not to cry when encountering such a scene.
Moreover, the owner didn’t handle it well in the first fight of Golden Hair, and it was easy for Golden Hair to become a yellow hair thug.
Most of the golden retriever owners I know walk their dogs alone.
3. Golden retriever is easy to burst and jump.
In reality, many golden retrievers are pulling their owners away.
The word “pull” is not accurate, but “drag” should be used!
There is a great demand for golden retriever sports, and many owners don’t give enough exercise. Coupled with golden retriever relatives, they are happy when they go out and excited when they go out.
If the owner’s ability to train dogs is not enough, it is easy for the golden retriever to drag people away.
I can’t help it. The weight base is too large.
If you don’t teach the rules well when you are young, the golden retriever is also quite easy to jump on people. You can’t like human beings too much, and you don’t realize that you are a baby of seventy pounds instead of seven pounds.
Step 4 lose hair
Golden retrievers can shed hair, and many people have no idea about shedding hair.
That is, there will be a lot of hair, and there will be a lot of hair in all kinds of gaps at home.
5. Golden retriever is easy to get fat.
Golden retriever is a greedy low-grade version of Labrador, and cabbage stalks are fragrant.
Obesity requires the owner to spend special time managing his body.
Because of the large weight base, if the maintenance is not good, the hip joint will easily fail early.
6. Easy to get skin diseases
Golden retriever is a water hound, and still likes to play with water. If the owner doesn’t take good care of it, the golden retriever’s skin is not treated in time after it is wet, and the dog kennel where he sleeps is not often washed and sunned, the skin is still prone to skin diseases.
7. Ear mites are easy to occur
Golden retrievers are all drooping-eared dogs, which are prone to ear mites. Many dog owners don’t know that they need to use insect repellent with ear mites alternately. Moreover, the golden retriever gives birth to ear mites, which is easy to cause ear canal inflammation.
As for the golden retriever, it takes a lot of time to exercise, which is not the shortcoming of the golden retriever.
Any kind of dog with a lot of exercise chooses to keep it and has no time to walk.
The problem is the owner.
Some behavior problems, including golden retriever, are also caused by the owner’s lack of discipline.
I am a female friend who goes to the gym all the year round. She is 53 years old this year.
Her golden retriever is very healthy, lovely, clean and refreshing, even though she bathes the dog once a month.
She will have at least one and a half hours of dog walking exercise every day.
If it is hot, she will have to go out at ten or even eleven o’clock in the evening.
It takes at least half an hour to clean after walking the dog home every day.
Wipe the mat before entering the door.
Then comb it carefully with three different combs: needle comb, native sheep down hair comb and air cushion comb.
After combing, use pet disposable wet towel gloves to wipe the whole body.
If there is an odor, you should also use a disposable shampoo to wipe your hair.
Therefore, her family doesn’t need to take care of dog hair specially, and there is no dog smell at home.
There is another reason why there is no dog smell. Her dog eats 41 kilograms of dog food, and she will take some chicken breast and potatoes according to the actual situation of the dog.
I can’t afford to eat dog food.
Her golden retriever eats very carefully, and all kinds of nutrients are piled up.
I didn’t ask in detail, but it is estimated that her monthly golden hair expenses will not be less than 1500.
Some time ago, she told me that if she bought a house, the dog’s quality of life would only decline.
The investment of money, time and energy in raising golden retrievers is really …
Anyone who can raise the golden retriever well is a warrior! ! !
I quite like the golden retriever, but a lazy person like me doesn’t deserve it.
