2021-11-27 / 363 Read

The Labrador dog that I have raised for a few years spends most of the time enjoying the joy brought by the Labrador, but there are also times when I pay for my ignorance and negligence painfully. During the period of raising Labrador Retrievers, I have accumulated some experience through relevant books, contact with pets doctors and relevant personnel of the Animal Husbandry Bureau, and teachings from other dog lovers, etc. People are prone to misunderstandings, take them out and share them with you.

Several

1. Milk cannot replace dog milk. Many people like to adopt Labrador retrievers that have not been weaned, and then feed them with milk , As everyone knows, cows are herbivores, while Labrador dogs are omnivores. Milk and dog milk are worlds apart. Milk is low in protein, low in fat, high in lactose, high in phosphorus and high in potassium, while dog milk is just the opposite. Protein is high in fat, low in lactose, low in phosphorus and low in potassium. Labrador dogs lack the lactase enzyme that can digest high lactose in their bodies. Frequent feeding of milk can easily cause diarrhea in Labrador dogs; at the same time, the protein content of milk is only for dogs. With 1/3 of the milk, small Labrador retrievers cannot get enough nutrition. Labrador Retrievers who are still breastfeeding have low immunity. Long-term feeding with milk can easily cause Labrador Retrievers to die, but most people do not know the reason. If the adopted Labrador has passed the lactation period, there should be no problem in this regard. But also note that occasional feedings are best, although our Labrador retrievers are all interested in the milk they are given.

Second, the feeding of Labrador Retriever Most people think that what people eat, Labrador can also eat, this is a common misunderstanding. Generally speaking, Labrador Retriever It is best to feed dogs ready-made dog food, such as Royal in France, A4 in the United Kingdom, Australian Vega in Australia (Baolu is relatively poor), etc. Occasionally paired with some fragrant and palatable cans, it can not only make Labrador dogs appetizing, but also meet the needs of growth. When feeding dog food, it can be supplemented with a small amount of chicken and pork, which is also liked by Labrador dogs.

According to my experience, the following foods cannot be tried for Labrador dogs:

1. Peppers, onions, ginger, garlic, onions and other irritants. These foods are very It is easy to reduce the olfactory sensitivity of Labrador retrievers;

2. Seafood, beef and mutton, etc. Long-term consumption can easily cause Labrador dogs to suffer from acarid disease. Just like human psoriasis, the skin disease of Labrador dogs is difficult to cure;

3. Liver of animals. The liver is responsible for detoxification in any animal. Long-term consumption of Labrador dogs will also cause the accumulation of toxins in the body. Occasional feeding can be done, such as chicken liver;

4. Vitamin A Excessive intake, such as carrots;

5. Intake of bones. Many of us think that it is only natural for dogs to chew bones. In fact, this is not the case. If Labrador retrievers cannot chew bones, it is easy to cause pharyngitis and even stomach bleeding.

3. Pica in Labrador Retrievers Labrador Retrievers will have symptoms such as gnawing on objects and pica. Most people attribute this to reasons such as teeth grinding and loneliness, and the most important thing is One point is that the Labrador is caused by a single malnutrition. Such as the lack of minerals, vitamin B complex and amino acids in the body. On the one hand, the behavior of the Labrador should be corrected, and at the same time, the food fed should be adjusted. General pet supermarkets sell health products that supplement minerals, such as calcium tablets for Labrador dogs, calcium phosphorus treasure, pet incense, etc. You can choose according to your dog's condition and refer to the instructions of the health products. Some are added to the Labrador's food.
