Young dogs generally refer to dogs that are 4--6 months old after birth. This period is the period of the fastest growth and development of the St. Bernard.

1. Feed

The feed for St. Bernard young dogs requires high nutritional value, good palatability and easy digestion. In addition to being rich in nutrients such as protein, vitamins A, D and fat, the feed should also pay special attention to supplementing essential nutrients such as calcium and phosphorus that promote bone growth.

At 6 months of age, the canine teeth have grown and can be chewed on by cattle bones. In order to accelerate the development of the dog, the proportion of protein can be increased in the feed, especially animal protein should account for more than 1/3 of the total protein content, and the proportion of energy feed should be increased at the same time. Daily feeding should be done regularly, quantitatively, qualitatively and at a constant temperature, at least 3 times a day. The food must be fresh, freshly prepared and fed, and rotten and spoiled feeds are not allowed. Food utensils should be cleaned after use and disinfected regularly.
