Dogs are just like children, they are picky eaters. Dogs are picky eaters, which is a headache for every dog. If the owner leaves it alone, the dog will grow up to be picky. The owner has been worrying about the dog's diet. For dog food, the dog's body is anxious. So, how to correct the puppy's partial eclipse?

【Dogs are picky eaters generally due to the following reasons】:

1. Heat: Due to increased hormone production, the dog's appetite will decrease, and there will be some signs of irritability. This kind of anorexia is easier to solve. Only by paying attention to hygiene and giving enough water can we eat normally after estrus.

2. Parasitic diseases: Dogs suffering from parasites are generally mostly ascariasis, and the other is Fasciola hepatica. These two diseases will cause anorexia in dogs at one stage, but Fasciola hepatica tends to have hyperphagia and ascites very quickly. And ascariasis, in addition to the phenomenon of anorexia, there will also be chronic weight loss. Of course, there are other parasitic diseases, which are not listed here.

3. Endocrine disorder anorexia: The situation of changing the species is more complicated, and symptoms usually appear at the same time, and anorexia is only one of them. Often accompanied by a large area of hair loss, pigmentation, nervousness, mental disorders and other symptoms.

4. Anorexia of other diseases: When the dog is suffering from other diseases, such as: dog fever, parvovirus, viral enteritis, colds, intestinal dysfunction (intussusception, entanglement, enteritis, peritonitis, etc.), fractures, etc. Back to anorexia.

5 Normal anorexia: Dogs sometimes have anorexia when they are not in a high mood, or when they are tired of the taste of a certain food.

[How to correct a dog's picky eating]

1. Feed at a fixed time. Not only the time of feeding the food, but also the time of eating. Remove the food bowl within 5-10 minutes, whether you have finished eating or not. Do not leave leftover dog food or empty food bowls there.

In fact, if the dog eats dog food normally, it won't work for 5 minutes. If you stop eating, you can't finish eating in 10 minutes. So, at 10 minutes, no matter whether there is unfinished dog food in the basin, put it away decisively. The dog may not understand what is going on at first, but after a few times the dog knows that the food bowl will disappear within a few minutes after the food appears, and he will eat it as soon as possible.

2. In the process of correcting the problem of picky eating, only feed the dog food at the specified time and stop all other foods (dog treats and other supplementary foods).

In healthy dogs, a few days of not eating enough will not affect their development. Most picky eaters will show significant progress on the third day of the process, and start eating more normal dog food in about a week. At this time, the owner still needs to insist on not feeding other foods, and the dog's appetite will usually improve significantly in about a month.

3. Use a fixed paper cup (mark the height of a meal with a pen) to hold the dog food. If the dog has left (5 minutes), subtract the remaining amount next time. Until the dog food in the bag is eaten up in one breath. After two or three days of this amount, slightly increase the amount to ensure that there is still no leftover after the increase. Gradually adjust the feeding amount to a reasonable amount (determined according to the dog's age, weight, fat and thin).

4. If the dog is hungry, please starve your dog first and let him stop eating for 24 hours. During the fasting period, give enough water (you can add a small amount of sugar to the water), and you can usually restore your appetite the next day. In order to ensure their strong appetite, they can stop eating one day a week.

5. Strengthen physical exercise and increase the dog's exercise. Generally, small play dogs only need to prepare more toys at home, such as dog chews and pull ropes for them to play and exercise. However, large dogs must exercise more outdoors, especially hunting dogs, whose ancestors were hunting for a living, and have been accustomed to strenuous exercise. Let him run at least 5-10 kilometers a day, and walking the dog is a good way. Running with the dog not only exercises the dog, but also exercises himself; the dog's appetite is improved, and his weight is also reduced, killing two birds with one stone!

The corrective method is to force the dog to eat some delicious food, stimulate the dog's taste with food to induce appetite, and step up the treatment of respiratory diseases. No matter what the cause of loss of appetite, we must find a way to constantly change the types of food to avoid single food.

The best prevention method is to avoid feeding the dog a single food for a long time. In addition, when the dog is sick, try not to mix the drug with the food and feed it, but try to give it by intramuscular injection or intravenous drip. Drugs, so as not to cause the dog's reaction to the drug and anorexia.
