With the advent of summer, the weather is hot, and the food intake of dogs is also reduced. First, the owner should observe whether it is sick. If it is sick, it must be treated. Factors are relatively easy to handle.

Research has shown that the length of the day can affect the brain's judgment of how much to eat each day.

In hypothermia, mammals must burn calories to maintain a safe body temperature. When faced with high temperatures, almost all mammals choose to reduce their calorie intake.

If the first instinct of the brain in winter is to eat to keep warm, then in summer the first instinct of the brain is definitely to cool down first and then to eat, not to walk without walking, or even to sleep If you can't turn over, you won't turn over to ensure that you won't die of heat. This is very similar to us humans.

How to solve the problem of anorexia in dogs, suggestions are as follows:

First of all, you must clearly judge your dog's appetite.

If you're concerned that your dog isn't eating enough according to the dietary recommendations on the dog food package, keep in mind that those are just average recommendations .

Many perfectly sized and healthy dogs typically eat only 60 to 70 percent of the recommended dietary allowance. I believe that you are the person who knows your dog best, and you must know whether there is anorexia.

Secondly, just like humans, there may be many reasons for dogs to lose their appetite, and it cannot be judged as a temperature cause in summer. In addition to temperature, dogs can also become anorexic for these reasons.

① Dental problems.

If you don't want to eat, it may be because of pain inside the mouth. At this time, it is necessary to check whether it has broken or loose teeth, or gingivitis and oral tumors.

② Other diseases.

A loss of appetite is often a sign of some illness, especially if the dog has other abnormalities (such as vomiting) in addition to not eating.

Although loss of appetite and disease do not always equate, it is always necessary to identify the problem as early as possible to avoid serious diseases such as: cancer, liver disease, kidney failure, various systemic infections, gastrointestinal Discomfort (such as intestinal invasion by parasites), etc.

③ Recently vaccinated.

While vaccines have saved countless pets over the past century, there are sometimes (usually few and short-lived) side effects, including appetite decline. Likewise, other medications, such as antibiotics, may also cause a loss of appetite in the short term.

④ In an unfamiliar environment.

Traveling or moving house can cause your dog to be emotional, nervous, uncomfortable, and have a reduced appetite.

⑤ Picky eaters or other disturbing factors.

Some dogs are very picky eaters, either because the bowl height is not suitable, other dogs are around, or other factors are disturbing. But don't judge your dog as a picky eater unless everything else is ruled out.

So, after knowing why the dog is anorexia, I found that it is indeed because of the temperature, and I also found two countermeasures for everyone.

Tactic 1: Hungry the dog first and let him stop eating for 24 hours. Drink plenty of water during the fasting period, and your appetite will usually be restored the next day. In order to ensure their strong appetite, they can stop eating one day a week.

Strategy 2: Strengthen physical exercise and increase the amount of exercise your dog does. Generally, small dogs only need to prepare more toys at home, such as dog chews and drawstrings, for them to play and exercise, and usually play with their running and jumping to meet their exercise. However, large dogs must exercise more outdoors, especially hunting dogs. Their ancestors were hunting for a living, and they are used to strenuous exercise. Let them run at least 5-10 kilometers a day.

Here, it is especially stated that walking the dog is a good way. Running with the dog can exercise both him and himself.

Regarding the problem of dog anorexia in summer, have you found a suitable method for your dog~ I believe you must have a deeper understanding of your dog~
