Teddy dogs are definitely familiar to everyone; they are currently very popular small pet dogs. Teddy dogs are gentle, smart, obedient, and do not shed hair, so they are especially suitable as family companion dogs. But today we are going to talk about the reasons not to raise a Teddy. Everyone must be very curious, Teddy dogs are obviously very popular, so why does the editor say there are reasons not to raise a Teddy? Let's take a look below.

1. High grooming costs

Teddy is a dog that requires grooming. If its hair is not regularly trimmed, the Teddy's coat will become messy and very unattractive, so there is an additional grooming expense. Besides grooming, it is recommended to feed Teddy some carrots, salmon, or natural dog food containing deep-sea fish oil. Deep-sea fish oil can beautify the coat and enhance its color, making the hair look nicer.

2. Strong aggression

Don’t be fooled by the Teddy’s small size; it is skinny but as bold as a water jar. Every time it goes out for a walk, it will provoke other dogs regardless of how many times bigger they are, and sometimes it’s hard to hold it back. Therefore, when raising a Teddy, you must watch your dog carefully during walks, preferably use a leash to avoid fights and injuries.

3. Likes mounting

Teddy has a nickname “Tai Ri Tian,” which is not unfounded. It is quite lustful, showing enthusiasm for everything it feels attracted to, not even limited to its own kind. This can be very embarrassing. So sometimes raising a Teddy really embarrasses the owner, probably this is why so many people dislike Teddy dogs.

4. Prone to fractures

Teddy's legs are thin and bones small, making it easy to fracture. So when raising a Teddy, don’t let it climb stairs, jump up and down, or do difficult or intense training. This helps prevent fractures. Also, pay attention to supplementing calcium to strengthen bones. Choose some natural dog food with rich nutrients and high calcium content for the main diet to effectively replenish calcium and strengthen the skeleton.

5. Prone to gastrointestinal inflammation

Teddy is really greedy, it wants to eat everything it sees, whether edible or not, it just eats first and thinks later. So eating things it shouldn’t easily causes diarrhea and intestinal diseases. Therefore, raising a Teddy requires training it to refuse food. Otherwise, if it accidentally eats poisonous food outside, it can be poisoned and die in minutes. Training can be assisted with some dog treats for better effect, but be careful not to feed too many treats!

Above are the five reasons summarized by the editor for not raising a Teddy. Friends who intend to raise a Teddy can understand this well and carefully consider whether to raise one.
