Spring, with the revival of all things, is also the season when animals mate.
In spring, dogs experience estrus, mating, breeding, and shedding. Therefore, in addition to regular feeding, you should also pay attention to the following points:
■ Walk your dog in a safe location to avoid letting them roam freely. During the estrus period, female dogs should try to keep them isolated from other dogs when walking.
■ Spring is also a shedding season, so it is important to regularly groom your dog's fur. Otherwise, dogs are prone to scratching and rubbing their bodies, which can easily damage their skin and lead to bacterial infections. Regular grooming can also effectively reduce external parasite and fungal infections.
■ The difference between day and night is large in early spring, especially at night, pay attention to keep your dog warm and prevent them from catching a cold.

Winter is coming, and spring is not far away.
It is generally believed that dogs have strong cold resistance. With the domestication and family care of dogs, their cold resistance has become weaker. Therefore, the focus of winter should be on keeping them warm and dry, and also pay attention to the following points:
■ Puppies under 8 months and 10 years old are most likely to lose their lives in the severe winter. The young Akitas should be moved indoors before the first frost.
■ The doghouse should be placed in a sunny area, and the indoor temperature should be between 18~23℃.
