For every dog mother and cat mother, the problem of pets being picky may be as daunting as children's picky eaters. It is often seen that pet mothers spread their hands and say: I also know that it is not good for them to eat human food! But they just don't eat feed!
for To avoid the problem of picky eaters by dogs and cats, train pets to develop stable eating habits from a young age. The frequency of meals is recommended to be four times a day three months ago, three times a day for three to eight months, and two times a day for more than eight months. If you don't want your pet to be only interested in fragrant food, you should let your pet use feed as the only staple food in the meal from a young age. When eating, let the dog develop the habit of concentrating on eating, limited to 30 minutes If the meal is not finished, put away the feed and wait until the next meal time to provide it; don't let the dog develop the bad habit of eating whenever he wants, and having to eat later if he doesn't want to.
Many people think that letting dogs chew on bones can not only grind their teeth, but also make them happy. But dog moms should pay attention, chicken bones are definitely not suitable for dogs to eat. Chicken bones are constructed as hollow bones, unlike solid pork or beef bones, which become grainy when crushed. The broken chicken bones are like sharp blades, which may scratch or even pierce the gastrointestinal tract after being swallowed. When a dog's gastrointestinal tract bleeds, it will produce bloody stools, diarrhea, and vomiting. In severe cases, surgery is required to remove it. Especially small dogs, pay special attention.
Love it instead of snacks
Are snacks a necessity? Physicians disagree. Some doctors believe that if pets get enough nutrition, they don't need to buy extra treats for pets, and some doctors think that appropriate treats can help build the relationship between owners and pets, which is harmless.
Based on the suggestions of professional doctors, pet moms can pay attention to several principles when choosing snacks.
1. Pay attention to the ingredients and appearance of the edibles. Are there excessive pigments or additives? Are there too bright and unnatural colors on the appearance?
2. It is best not to let Pets develop the habit of snacking every day.
3. The best time to give snacks is after they have done something you are happy with. Let them know that you can reward them for doing certain things, and let them know that you are the one who can decide whether to treat them to snacks.
4. Excessive snacks may definitely cause pet obesity. When the dog's cat's body begins to look a little out of shape, it is necessary to pay attention to whether the amount of snacks should be reduced.
5. When pets skip meals, do not replace meals with treats.
