Many parents like to follow their hobbies or feed them casually when feeding dogs, which leads to many problems in the process of dogs growing up. The following editor will discuss the problem of dog feeding. I have sorted out three principles, and I hope parents can refer to them:
Principle 1, eat less and more meals is the key
When the dog is still young, the digestive system cannot accommodate and digest too much food at one time, but at this time, the dog's energy demand is much larger than that of an adult dog, and the amount of food required is not small. Therefore, be sure to Let the puppies eat small meals often, and the owner should strictly follow the prescribed number of feedings.
Small dogs: 3-4 times a day for 2-4 months; 2-3 times a day for 4-10 months.
Medium dogs: 3-4 times a day for 2-6 months; 2-3 times a day for 6-12 months.
Large dogs: 3-4 times a day for 2-6 months; 2-3 times a day for 6-15 months.
Giant dogs: 3-4 times a day for 2-8 months; 2-3 times a day for 8-18(24) months.
Principle 2. Do not exceed the standard of quantitative feeding
Dogs in their childhood have a strong desire for food, and the owner must strictly follow the food amount marked on the packaging bag Feed, do not give the dog extra food. If you use dog food as a reward during the game, then this part should also be included in the dog's food intake.
Principle 3. Be sure to drink enough water
Put the water basin where the dog can come and go freely, so that it can drink water at any time. Be sure to pay attention to ensure that there is sufficient and clean drinking water in the water basin. If the dog pollutes the drinking water while playing, the owner should replace it in time. At this time, the dog's digestive system is relatively fragile, and unclean drinking water will cause gastrointestinal disorders.
