Dog feeding knowledge 1: Don’t feed too much

Many owners have never raised a dog before and are always afraid that their puppies will not have enough to eat, so they want to feed a bowl full of dog food at every meal. In fact, this is very wrong. Dogs only need to be 70-80% full after eating, but don’t overdo it.
To put it simply: after your dog has finished eating, just let him lick the bowl to his satisfaction. If the dog really doesn’t want to leave the bowl after eating, you can add a little more next time, but just pay attention to the appropriate amount. Especially for puppies before 3 years old, you must pay attention to eating small meals frequently and not eating too much at one time.

Dog feeding knowledge 2: Dogs of different ages eat different dog food

Owners must not randomly feed their puppies dog food at different stages. In order to save money or trouble, some owners buy large dog food for their dogs even though they are small dogs; or they buy relatively cheap adult dog food for their dogs even though they are puppies. In this way, not only the puppy is not nutritious, but it is also very easy to digest poorly and develop diseases.
Generally speaking, puppies should eat mother's milk when they are just born; after teething and weaning, they can start to be fed liquid food, or puppy food can be heated and soaked in water until soft.

Dog feeding knowledge three: change dog food step by step

When changing the dog’s food, don’t change it all at once. Mix in half of the new food each time and try it for two or three times. Days, gradually add new weight, and gradually replace it with new ones in 7-10 days. Only in this way can the dog's digestive system adapt, otherwise it will easily cause diarrhea. In addition, when feeding, be sure to give sufficient water at the same time to replenish the moisture in the dog's body. Just use ordinary boiled water.

Dog feeding knowledge 4: Dog food is the main food, snacks are supplemented

When owners feed their puppies on a daily basis, dog food should be the main food. Nowadays, some professional dog foods are very nutritious and have very good palatability and nutritional balance. Generally speaking, dogs should mainly eat dog food every day. Occasionally, the owner can also make some homemade meals for the dog, but be careful to use less oil, less salt, and less sugar, otherwise these will be detrimental to the dog's health.
Snacks should be given to dogs in small amounts. Snack foods are mainly used as rewards for life training, otherwise the dog will be very picky in the future and not like to eat any dog ​​food. At the same time, it is better to avoid desserts such as chewing gum, ice cream, and cakes. On the one hand, it can easily lead to tooth decay, obesity, and gastrointestinal discomfort. At the same time, eating too much sweet food can easily cause dogs to lose their appetite for dinner.

Things to pay attention to when feeding dogs

1. Some dogs feel that they never eat enough, but they usually do not have much activity and their excretion is not good. In this case, it may be suffering from internal parasites, so it is best to take it to see a doctor.
2. Once a puppy is full and exercises vigorously immediately after the meal, it is very easy for him to suffer from indigestion, leading to diarrhea and vomiting. Owners should always be careful not to play with their dogs as soon as they finish eating.
