How Not to Lift a Dog: A Common Mistake Owners Make That Causes Pain for Pets
Many dog owners lift their dogs very often.
Especially when it comes to interacting with a puppy or a representative of a small breed.
Unfortunately, some people make a very big mistake when they lift their four-legged friend.
They grab the dog by the front paws. This is very dangerous for the animal.
Why dogs should not be lifted by their paws
The fact is that puppies and small dogs (and even large pets) have weak muscles between the front legs and the body.
If the owner violates the recommendation and still takes the pet by the limbs, the pet may suffer a sprain or dislocation.
Joint damage cannot be ruled out.
Even if a person who incorrectly lifts a dog does not cause serious harm to his pet, one very unpleasant consequence will still make itself known.
This will be very painful for the animal.
Therefore, never lift a dog by its paws. Even if it seems to you that your four-legged friend really likes this “game”.
Earlier we talked about whether a dog can forget the commands it has learned.
