Five misunderstandings about feeding bichon dogs:
Myth 1: Internal organs + rice
This is an old saying, in fact, this kind of diet is most likely to cause pet skin problems , such as eczema, dandruff and itchy skin and other problems. Eating too much can cause vitamin A poisoning and bone problems in cats, so it's good to change the taste of their favorite liver after a long period of time. And often eating rice will lead to hypertrophy of the dog's lower body, resulting in non-standard body shape.
Myth 2: Fish bones and chicken bones
Because dogs are used to swallowing without chewing, this often causes vomiting, diarrhea or constipation . Fish and chicken bones can also get stuck in the throat. Small amounts of pork or beef bones can be given to dogs to chew on. It is just a dog's hobby to chew on bones, and eating bones does not necessarily make the dog's bones grow strong.

Pets do like to eat meat, and they can be fed occasionally, but long-term feeding of meat not only makes them picky and partial, It is also easy to cause them to have problems in the mouth, such as tooth decay, calculus, etc., the most common is bad breath. And meat with spicy ingredients will dull the dog's sense of smell, making it unsuitable for feeding.
