Incorrect breeding of puppies: giving random bones to chew on

Dogs love to chew bones, but not all bones are suitable for them. The bones of chickens, ducks and other poultry are relatively sharp and can be eaten into the stomach. It is easy to hurt the intestines and stomach. If your dog is 6 months old, you can give it large bones from pigs and cows to play with to grind its teeth, which can also help remove tartar. Owners can also buy some dog chews and other food for their dogs to help them grind their teeth.

Incorrect feeding of puppies: Feeding pure milk

Some people think that drinking milk is nutritious and can help dogs supplement calcium. In fact, this idea is wrong. Milk is indeed rich in calcium, but it is also rich in lactose. Dogs lack the enzyme to break down lactose, which can easily cause lactose intolerance in dogs, leading to diarrhea. It is best to feed your dog dog milk or goat milk powder.

Incorrect feeding of puppies: feeding at irregular times

Dogs should be fed regularly and quantitatively, because the dog’s digestive system also needs to form a fixed biological clock, and regular feeding is required to form a conditioned reflex. Allow the dog's digestive system to work and rest regularly and improve the absorption and utilization rate of food. Generally, dogs under one year old should be fed three times a day, within three months, four times a day, within two months, five times a day, and within one month, six times a day. In winter, dogs over 1 year old can be fed once a day in the morning and evening, preferably after exercise and defecation.

Incorrect feeding of puppies: snacks as staple food

Snacks cannot provide sufficient nutrition for the growth and development of dogs. Snacks are best used to reward and encourage dogs and increase their enthusiasm. Feeding snacks must be appropriate, otherwise once the frequency of snacking increases, there may be a situation of "eating only snacks but not staple food". Some snacks with high oil and salt content can easily cause hair loss, irritation, obesity, and health problems in dogs.

Wrong breeding of puppies: Feed the dog human food

Try not to feed the puppy some human food. The puppy has a very simple requirement for food, and will devour it voraciously. Refuse. After a puppy gets used to eating some things that people eat, it will become dependent on what people eat and become picky eaters. Because the nutrients in what people eat are different from the nutritional needs of puppies, the result will be uneven nutrient absorption and affect the puppy's development. Moreover, most of the food that people eat is heavy in oil and salt, which is very bad for the health of puppies.
