Many people make a serious mistake when picking up a puppy or small dog.
They do not support the four-legged friend on both sides, which causes the animal great pain.
Unfortunately, there is a high probability of another serious consequence. For example, the pet may get injured.
How not to lift a puppy
Never lift a dog by its front legs.
Be aware that in small barking pets, the muscles between the front legs and the body are not strong enough to support the weight of the entire body.
By taking the four-legged friend by the paws, the owner will cause him great pain. It is possible that the person will also injure the animal.
Thus, the puppy may suffer from a sprain or dislocation.
How to lift a puppy
When picking up a small dog, be sure to create two points of support.
Thus, one hand should support the pet's chest, and the other - the back of the body and paws.
Otherwise, you won't achieve an even weight distribution. This won't end well for your dog.
Don't hold your four-legged friend with your arms outstretched. Try to keep your pet close to you.
