Japanese Spitz, like other dogs, needs a well-balanced and good diet. They are recommended to have at least 2 to 3 cups of high-quality food a day, which can be divided into two meals. Monitor their food intake closely because they tend to gain more weight. Provide them safe and clean water all throughout the day.
Japanese Spitz is a fluffy double-layer coated dog that makes them look like a walking cotton ball. Their double-coated fur usually shed once or twice a year. So you'll want to increase your brushing routine to once a day when their shedding picks up in these seasons. This breed needs daily grooming to stay neat and be attractive.
Also, brushing their hair weekly can remove dead hair and maintain their appearance.
Grooming them does not require much work.
Clippers or a combination of clippers and stripping (a method in which the coat is thinned and shortened using a sharp, comb-like tool called a stripping knife) can be used to trim their coat.
If your dog's nails don't break off naturally, trim them once or twice a month to avoid painful tears and other issues. Check their lips, ears, nose, throat, eyes, and feet for sores, rashes, or symptoms of illness such as redness, tenderness, or inflammation.
Ears should have a pleasant odour and be free of wax or gunk, and eyes should be clean and free of redness or discharge.
Japanese Spitz needs to have regular daily exercise like running and walking. They love to roam around and want to be with the family owner. A large space is a must for them to entertain and enjoy their playtime that benefits their physical and mental health. Give them a good exercise that could last about 1 to 2 hours a day.
Scheduled six-monthly health check visits with your vet are important to ensure they are healthy and happy throughout all life stages.
In these annual visits, your vet will complete a physical examination, take your dog's temperature and check their heartbeat, among other things.
Routine maintenance for your dog gives you a chance to track your dog's growth and development, discuss any concerns with your vet, and form a key part of preventative care.
Japanese Spitz dogs are great for kids because of their playful and gentle nature. This breed can't harm the kids on playing or spending time but can protect them despite their small size. They are also a loving and joyful playmate for the family that you'll be pleased with.
However, it's still important to supervise their playtime and instruct your children on the proper handling and treatment of dogs.
Japanese Spitz is naturally intelligent, obedient and eager to please breed.
You can train them effortlessly, but you have to be consistent for them to memorize all the tricks and command. You can train them indoors or outdoors, but you have to be attentive to them.
A secured fenced backyard is advised for their safety.
Japanese Spitz can get along well with other animals, like, dogs and cats. They need protection and guidance from their owners with larger dogs when playing to avoid injuries. A cat's claws also can accidentally injure its large eyes, and it's important to make sure is everyone safe.
Your guidance is very important for your pets, so nurture them.
