Idan kai mai mallakar aboki ne mai kafafu huɗu (na nau'in canine, aƙalla), tabbas kun san cewa gudu yana da fa'ida ga juna. "Gudun tare da kare ku yana ba ku ɗan ƙaramin motsawa, lokacin haɗin gwiwa, da abin da ku duka za ku sa ido a kai," in ji Jt Clough, ƙwararren kocin mai koyar da kare kare, mai kammala Ironman tara, kuma marubucin Jagoran Koyarwa na 5K: Gudu tare da Karnuka. A taƙaice, "idan ana ruwa kuma karenka yana tsaye a can, wutsiya yana motsa jiki, zai motsa ka ka tafi." (Tabbas yana taimaka wa waɗannan mashahuran su kasance masu dacewa: 11 Kyawawan Dabbobin Dabbobi waɗanda ke Aiki.)

Bugu da ƙari, Rover yana buƙatar motsa jiki: 53 bisa dari na karnuka suna da kiba, bisa ga Ƙungiyar Ƙwararrun Ƙwararrun Dabbobi. Kuma, kamar mutane, hakan yana sanya canines ɗinmu cikin haɗari mafi girma don yawan cututtukan cututtuka, gami da mutuwar farko-zuwa shekaru biyu da rabi. Hakanan yana iya shafar halayensu: "Yawancin al'amuran ɗabi'a suna fitowa daga rashin motsa jiki," Clough yayi kashedin.

Kamar yadda yake tare da mutane, dabbobin gida suna buƙatar ingantaccen abinci mai kyau da kuma adadin motsa jiki mai kyau don rayuwa mai tsayi, mafi koshin lafiya. Amma yayin da muke raba wannan yanayin, karnuka suna da buƙatun dacewa, lafiya, da abinci fiye da na mutane.

"Idan kana yin duk wannan don kanka, kana buƙatar yin hakan don kare ka kuma," in ji Waldman. (Karnuka suna taimaka mana mu kasance cikin ƙoshin lafiya! Manyan Puan Kwankwasiyya 15 na Inganta Lafiya.)

Matsalolin Shekaru

Kuna da kwikwiyo? "Karnuka kada su fara gudu har sai an rufe faranti na girma," in ji Waldman. Wannan yana nufin jira har sai ɗalibin ku ya kai shekara ɗaya zuwa biyu, dangane da nau'in.

Shekara ɗaya na iya zama banbanci tsakanin aboki mai gudu da wanda ke da amosanin gabbai ko ciwon baya.

Idan dabbar ku ta tsufa ba ta da saurin tashi da fita ƙofar, yana iya zama lokaci don rage abubuwa. "Suna samun kumburi kamar mu," in ji Clough, wanda ke ba da shawarar glucosamine da man kwakwa don rage kumburi. "Amma yana da mahimmanci kada a daina gaba ɗaya-a ci gaba da motsa su." Sanya motsa jiki gajarta ko canza zuwa tafiya.

"Ga yawancin karnuka, horar da su tafiya ko gudu har zuwa mil biyu ko uku abu ne mai karbuwa." Don haka kar ku bari DNA ta kare ta zama uzuri don kada ku yi amfani da su kwata-kwata. (Amma gwada ɗayan waɗannan Hanyoyi 4 don Samun dacewa da Fido waɗanda basa gudana.)

Taimaka Masa Dumi

Kamar mutane, karen da ya dace yana yin fiye da gudu kawai. "Shirya jikinsu don motsa jiki, kamar yadda za ku yi naku," in ji Waldman. "Karen ku ba zai iya cutar da kansa ba idan kun ɗauki 'yan mintoci kaɗan don dumi da shimfiɗa tsokoki da haɗin gwiwa." Ta ba da shawarar mintuna 10 na saurin tafiya kafin a guje.

"Mutane da yawa suna da wahalar ganin cewa karensu yana kokawa."

Yayin motsa jiki, kula sosai da saurin ɗanyar ku, matsayin wutsiya, numfashi, da tafiyar."Abu mafi mahimmanci kuma mafi sauƙi don saka idanu shine taki," in ji Waldman. "Dabbobinki ya kamata ya kasance kusa da ku ko a gaban ku ba tare da lallashi ba tun daga farko har ƙarshe." Idan ya fara ja baya, lokaci ya yi da zai tsaya.

Kasance masu damuwa game da tafin karen ku kamar yadda kuke game da takalman ku masu gudu. Clough ya ce: "Duba ƙafafunsu don alamun rauni," in ji Clough.
