Ngati ndinu mwiniwake wa bwenzi la miyendo inayi (a mitundu ya canine, osachepera), mwina mukudziwa kuti kuthamanga kumapindulitsa. "Kuthamanga ndi galu wanu kumakupatsani chilimbikitso chochulukirapo, nthawi yolumikizana, ndi chinthu chomwe nonse mungayembekezere," akutero Jt Clough, mphunzitsi wabizinesi wophunzitsa agalu, womaliza wa Ironman wazaka zisanu ndi zinayi, komanso wolemba mabuku. Upangiri wa 5K Wophunzitsa: Kuthamanga ndi Agalu. Osachepera, "kukamagwa mvula ndipo galu wanu wayimirira pamenepo, akugwedeza mchira, zikulimbikitsani kuti mupitebe." (Zimathandiza anthu otchukawa kukhala oyenera: Ziweto 11 Zokongola Zamtundu Zomwe Zimagwira Ntchito.)

Kuphatikiza apo, Rover amafunika kuchita zolimbitsa thupi: 53% ya agalu ali onenepa kwambiri, malinga ndi Association for Pet Obesity Prevention. Ndipo, monga anthu, izi zimayika agalu athu pachiwopsezo chachikulu cha matenda, kuphatikiza kufa koyambirira mpaka zaka ziwiri ndi theka. Zitha kukhudzanso umunthu wawo: "Nkhani zambiri zamakhalidwe zimabwera chifukwa cha kusachita masewera olimbitsa thupi," Clough akuchenjeza.

Mofanana ndi anthu, ziweto zimafunikira zakudya zopatsa thanzi komanso kuchita masewera olimbitsa thupi kuti zizikhala ndi moyo wautali komanso wathanzi. Koma tikugawana izi, agalu amakhala ndi thanzi, thanzi, ndi zosowa zosiyanasiyana kuposa anthu. Nawa maupangiri 9 akatswiri osungira pooch yanu kukhala yowoneka bwino ndikupondaponda pansi.

Yang'anirani Choyamba

Monga anthu, canines ayenera kuonana ndi dokotala asanayambe kuchita masewera olimbitsa thupi. Funsani katswiri wa zamankhwala yemwe amagwiritsa ntchito mankhwala ochiritsira kuti ayesedwe mozama, makamaka ngati mukufuna kuyika ma mile ataliatali, akutero a Jessica Waldman, veterinarian, canine rehabilitation therapist, komanso director of California Animal Rehabilitation. Vet akhoza kukuchenjezani pazinthu zilizonse zomwe zisanachitike zomwe zingakhudze galu wanu kuti apite patali, komanso kukupatsirani kutentha, kuziziritsa, komanso kutambasulira wothamanga wanu waubweya. "Ngati mukudzipangira nokha, muyenera kuchitiranso galu wanu," akutero Waldman. (Agalu amatithandiza kukhala athanzi! Njira 15 Zotsogola Zomwe Ana Agalu Amathandizira Thanzi Lanu.)

Nkhani Zakale

Muli ndi mwana wagalu? "Agalu sayenera kuyamba kuthamanga mpaka masamba awo okulira atsekedwa," Waldman akuchenjeza. Izi zikutanthauza kuti kudikirira mpaka mwana wanu akhale ndi chaka chimodzi kapena ziwiri, kutengera mtundu.

Kumapeto kwina kwa galu, agalu azaka zapakati komanso achikulire angafunike kuti achepetse. "Msinkhu wa agalu mwachangu," akutero Waldman. "Chaka mu galu wamkulu woswana ndi zaka zisanu ndi ziwiri kapena khumi m'moyo wanu." Kuyambira ali ndi zaka zisanu kapena zisanu ndi chimodzi, samalani za thanzi la galu wanu ndi mphamvu zake. Chaka chimodzi ukhoza kukhala kusiyana pakati pa bwenzi lokangalika lothamanga ndi amene ali ndi nyamakazi kapena kupweteka kwa msana.

Ngati chiweto chanu chokalamba sichikutuluka mofulumira ndi kutuluka pakhomo, ikhoza kukhala nthawi yochepetsera zinthu. "Amakhala ndi kutupa monga momwe timachitira," atero Clough, yemwe akuwonetsa glucosamine ndi mafuta a coconut kuti achepetse kutupa. "Koma ndikofunikira kuti musayime palimodzi-aziwasunthira." Pangani zolimbitsa thupi zazifupi kapena sinthani kuti muziyenda. Mwachitsanzo, a Weimaraner azaka zisanu ndi zinayi a Clough amathamanga mailosi atatu kapena asanu nthawi imodzi m'malo mwa asanu ndi atatu mpaka 10 omwe amawotcha ngati galu wachichepere.

Ganizirani za Kubereka Kwawo

Mitundu ina ya agalu inabadwa kuti izitha kuthamanga, koma ina sinali. Mitundu yambiri yamaso owoneka bwino yopumira, monga ma pugs ndi ma bulldogs, sanapangidwe kuti akhale othamanga opirira, Waldman akuti. Koma omenya nkhonya ndi othamanga kwambiri, Clough akuti - kupatula kukatentha kapena kunja kukuzizira. Waldman amachenjezanso eni agalu amiyendo yayitali, amiyendo yayifupi ngati ma dachshunds, bassets, shih-tzus ndi ma poodle ena, omwe amatha kukhala ndi mavuto am'mbuyo. Kumbali yokhotakhota, mitundu yambiri yapakatikati komanso yayikulu-koma osati yayikulu kwambiri imayenda bwino: ma collies akumalire, ma terriers ena, ma vizslas, ma weimaraners ndi zolozera zaku Germany.

Koma chofunika kwambiri kuposa mtundu ndi chikhalidwe cha galu wanu ndi zolimbitsa thupi. "Galu aliyense amafunika kuchita masewera olimbitsa thupi," akutero Clough. "Kwa agalu ambiri, kuwaphunzitsa kuyenda kapena kuthamanga mpaka mailosi awiri kapena atatu ndi kovomerezeka." Chifukwa chake musalole DNA ya galu wanu kukhala chowiringula kuti musagwiritse ntchito konse. (Koma yesani imodzi mwa njira zinayi izi zopezera Fido zomwe sizikuyenda.)

M'thandizeni Kukhala Wofunda

Monga anthu, galu wokwanira amachita zambiri kuposa kungothamanga. "Konzekerani matupi awo kuti achite masewera olimbitsa thupi, monga momwe mungapangire thupi lanu," akutero Waldman. "Galu wanu sangadzipweteke ngati mutatenga mphindi zochepa kuti muzimva kutentha ndi kutambasula minofu ndi ziwalo zawo." Akuti mphindi 10 kuyenda mwachangu musanathamange. Pambuyo pake, aziziritseni ndi kuyenda kwa mphindi 5 mpaka 10.

Ndipo musaiwale kuphunzitsa kwamphamvu. "Ziweto ziyenera kukhala zikulimbikitsana kuwonjezera pa cardio," akutero Waldman. Amapereka lingaliro lakuyenda pang'onopang'ono mumchenga wakuya kapena kuyenda pang'onopang'ono, koyendetsedwa kuti muphunzitse mphamvu.

Mangani Kupirira

Ngati galu wanu watsopano akuthamanga, yambani ndi mphindi zisanu, Waldman akuwonetsa, ndipo mphindi 15, atero Clough. "Onetsetsani kuti simunyamuka ndikuchita ma kilomita asanu ndi awiri ndi galu wopanda thanzi," akutero Clough. "Anthu amaganiza kuti agalu amabadwa oyenera. Iwo sali. Matupi awo amayenera kusintha kuti azichita masewera olimbitsa thupi ngati a munthu."

Pambuyo pa sabata pa mphindi zisanu mpaka 15, onjezani mphindi zisanu mpaka 10, Clough akuti. Koma nthawi zonse lolani kuti chiweto chanu chikhale chitsogozo chanu. "Pambuyo pa mphindi 20 muthamanga, kodi chiweto chanu chili ndi liwiro komanso mphamvu zofanana?" Waldman akufunsa. Ngati yankho ndi inde, mukhoza kupitiriza bwinobwino. Ngati sichoncho, nthawi yoyenda ndi kupita nawo kunyumba.

Mukamathamanga

Agalu sangatiuze atopa, akumva kuwawa, kapena akumva kuwawa kwenikweni, ndiye muyenera kukhala tcheru ndi iwo. Koma (akazi) Abwenzi apamtima a munthu adzadzikakamiza kupyola malire awo kuti atisangalatse. "Pali agalu ena omwe amapitilira njira yomwe akuyenera," akutero Clough. "Anthu ambiri amavutika kuona kuti galu wawo akuvutika."

Mukamachita masewera olimbitsa thupi, yang'anani mayendedwe a mwana wanu, momwe amapangira mchira, kupuma, ndi magwiridwe ake."Chinthu chofunikira kwambiri komanso chosavuta kuwunika ndikuthamanga," akutero Waldman. "Chiweto chanu chiyenera kukhala pafupi ndi inu kapena kutsogolo kwanu popanda kunyengerera kuyambira pachiyambi mpaka kumapeto." Ngati ayamba kutsalira m'mbuyo, ndi nthawi yoti asiye. Kodi mumadziwa bwanji kuti ndikutopa osati kugonja? Malo a mchira wa galu wanu ndi kupuma kwake ziyenera kukhala zofanana kuyambira pachiyambi mpaka kumapeto. "Ngati mchira ugwa kapena kupuma kwawo kukukulira kapena kugwiranso ntchito, ndiye chizindikiro kuti akugwira ntchito molimbika," akutero Waldman. Kupuma kolemera kapena kofulumira kumawonetsa kuti kugunda kwa mtima wawo ndikwambiri, akutero Clough. Ndipo ngati mnzanu ayamba kuchita thobvu pakamwa, siyani pomwepo, tengani madzi, ndikuziziritsa. (Yesani Njira 7 Zapamwamba Zomwe Mungapezere Kuthamanga pa Maulendo Ataliatali.)

Potsirizira pake, kusintha kwakukulu kwa kuyenda ndi chizindikiro chochenjeza cha kutopa, kufooka kapena kuvulala. Kutengera kuthamanga, agalu ambiri amathamanga pamalo othamanga, kanthiti, kapena kuthamanga ngati kavalo. Koma agalu omwe ali pamavuto amathamanga ndi mayendedwe odziwika ngati "mayendedwe." Waldman akuti: "Ziweto zomwe zimamva kuwawa kapena vuto zimathamanga mbali imodzi yathunthu yamthupi ikuyenda limodzi." Ngati galu wanu akusuntha kutsogolo kwake ndi miyendo yakumbuyo pamodzi ndikuyendetsa kumbali yawo yakumanzere, ndiyeno kusinthasintha, ndi nthawi yoti muyime ndikuyenda.

Samalani Paws ndi Weather

"Timavala nsapato, koma savala," akutero Clough. (Mukufuna zatsopano? Yesani chimodzi mwa izi 14 Shoes to Make You Fitter, Faster, and Slimmer.) Khalani osamala kwambiri za zikhomo za galu wanu momwe muliri ndi nsapato zanu zothamanga. "Yang'anani m'manja mwawo ngati ali ndi zilonda," akutero Clough. M'nyengo yotentha, samalani kwambiri ndi malo omwe akuyaka. Clough, yemwe amakhala ku Maui, ananena kuti: “Nthawi zina anthu sadziwa mmene msewu wapansi umatenthera. Akuti ayang'ane nthaka ndi dzanja lanu asanakwere Fido. Ndipo m'nyengo yozizira, musatenge nthawi yayitali kwa bwenzi lanu laubweya. "Ngati atenga nthawi yayitali kuzizira, amatha kuzizira," Clough achenjeza.

Samalani kwambiri kutentha: "Chinyezi ndi chimodzi mwa zinthu zoipitsitsa kwa agalu, chifukwa alibe zotupa za thukuta," anatero Clough. "Zingamveke bwanji ngati malo okhawo omwe mungatulukire thukuta ndi lilime lanu, pansi pa mapazi, ndi zikhato za manja anu?" akufunsa. Choncho samalani kwambiri ndi zizindikiro zochenjeza pamasiku a soupy.

Yang'anirani Kuti Muzisungulumwa

Monga ife, othamanga anyama amavulala. Ndipo monga ife, zowawa zoyambitsidwa ndi kuthamanga sizingachitike mpaka tsiku lotsatira. "Ngati chiweto chanu sichilola kuthamanga, simukuwona zizindikiro nthawi zonse," akutero Waldman. "Atha kukhala opanda mphamvu, olefuka, kapena otopa tsiku lotsatira." Waldman amalimbikitsa othamanga kukalembetsa ndi ana awo tsiku lotsatira atathamanga. "Galu akuyenera kukhala wopanda nkhawa," akutero, ndikuwonjezera kuti galu wotopa akhoza kukhala wovulala, makamaka ngati amakhala wokonda.

Matenda omwe amapezeka kwambiri mwa othamanga agalu ndi misozi ya ACL ligament ndi ululu wammbuyo, akutero Waldman. Onetsetsani zizindikilo zobisika za kuyenda kwinaku mukuyenda kapena kutsamira mbali imodzi mukaimirira. Ndipo zindikirani khalidwe la galu wanu: "Kusintha kwa khalidwe lililonse ndi chizindikiro chakuti chinachake chalakwika," akutero Waldman. "Ngati chiweto chanu chagona kwambiri m'malo momakutsatani mnyumbayo, kapena nthawi zambiri amathamangira pakhomo koma akuwoneka kuti sakufuna, mwina akumva kuwawa." (Musaiwale kutambasula kwanu!

Akwaniritse Zofuna Zawo Zazakudya

Zikafika pazakudya zamasewera, agalu ndi osiyana pang'ono: Mapuloteni akadali ofunikira, koma amawotcha mafuta m'malo mwa chakudya chamafuta kuti agwire ntchito. "Wothamanga aliyense wa canine amafunikira mapuloteni ochulukirapo komanso ma antioxidants muzakudya zawo," akutero Waldman, yemwe amalimbikitsa kudyetsa galu wanu chakudya chenicheni. Zilazi, mbatata, ndi broccoli wophika ndi zosankha zomwe amakonda kusakaniza ndi nkhuku, nsomba, ndi mapuloteni ena. "Dikirani osachepera ola limodzi atadya kuti muwathamangitse," akutero Clough. Ndipo musalole kuti iwo akule mbale yamadzi nthawi yomweyo. "Zitha kuyambitsa bloat," akuchenjeza.

Perekani galu wanu madzi mphindi 15 kapena 20 iliyonse mukamathawa, Waldman akuti. Ngakhale samatuluka thukuta, amafunikira madzi ochuluka monganso momwe ife timafunira. Koma osagawana zakumwa zanu zamasewera kapena gel osakaniza ndi Spot. Agalu safuna ma carbs kuti azigwira ntchito ndipo zakumwa zamasewera zimatha kuyambitsa vuto la m'mimba la canine, malinga ndi kafukufuku ku Zipatala Zanyama zaku North America: Zochita Zanyama Zing'onozing'ono. Tsopano, leash up and out there - it will pay for you of you!
