Dogs's mouths are usually very greedy, so many times they don't know how to control themselves, so no matter how much food you give them, they always come. However, this approach can easily lead to indigestion in dogs, which can lead to diarrhea and vomiting in dogs. Therefore, if you want to avoid the occurrence of malnutrition, the first thing to pay attention to is to arrange a reasonable diet. In addition, proper exercise can also promote the dog's digestion and absorption, which is also of great benefit to the dog's health.

Generally speaking, dogs can eat dog food for adult dogs after 8 months, while large dogs are slightly later, and some are fed For the sake of safety, the owner usually starts feeding the dog complete dog food after the dog is one year old. After a dog becomes an adult, the growth rate of various tissues and organs in the body changes from the rapid growth in puppyhood to gradually slowing down until it stops. The nutritional needs of dogs include maintenance nutritional needs and specific physiological needs. The maintenance of nutritional needs refers to the requirements of energy, protein, minerals, vitamins, etc. for a healthy dog when the body does not gain or lose weight, and when various nutrients in the body are in a state of maintaining balance of payments and expenditures. Most dogs are gluttonous. If you only focus on satisfying the dog's appetite and provide unrestricted food, the dog's intake of nutrients exceeds its maintenance needs, which will cause the dog to suffer from obesity and many other diseases. Therefore, the amount of food for an adult dog should depend on the dog's size and daily energy expenditure.

Adult dogs in a special physiological stage will have corresponding changes in their digestion and absorption of food and their nutritional needs.

1. Pregnant bitches: Due to the needs of embryonic development, the feeding amount and nutritional level of food can be appropriately increased. Also, the female dog's stomach cannot relax properly because the uterus takes up a lot of space in the abdomen. Therefore, it is best to eat small meals frequently to improve the palatability of food. Although pregnant bitches require a lot of energy, they cannot be fed uncontrollably. Once the dog is obese, it is quite unfavorable for the bitch.

2. Lactating bitches: not only to meet their own nutritional needs, but also to ensure the need for lactation, the need for nutrition and energy will suddenly increase. Therefore, during this period, it is necessary to provide high-energy, nutritious and delicious food for the bitch, and increase the amount of food. Similarly, the amount must be controlled, and it can be increased, but the amount of increase should not be too much.

3. Aged dogs: When the dog gets old, due to the decrease in the amount of activity, some physiological changes that affect the metabolic rate occur in the body, the demand for energy naturally decreases, and the digestive organs can digest and absorb food. Weakening, the food fed to elderly dogs should be of good quality, nutritious, and easy to chew. It is best to make the food semi-liquid.

4. Sick dogs: Due to illness, their appetite has decreased, and they should eat less frequently, and provide them with foods with special fragrance, good palatability, and easy digestion and absorption.

It can be seen that many reasons can lead to indigestion in dogs. Reasonable control of the amount of food is the main way to improve this problem. It's just that the feeding method will be different in different situations, and the owner must learn how to adapt to the situation.
