Dogs should be fed in a rationed amount

Dogs should be fed in a rationed amount, so that the dog can eat regularly and not overeat or be hungry. It is better for the dog's stomach. The owner should promptly adjust the temperature of feed and drinking water according to the temperature changes in different seasons to ensure warm in winter, cool in summer, and warm in spring and autumn.

Benefits of rationed feeding for dogs

A large part of the reason why many dogs have gastrointestinal problems is due to irregular daily diet. Sometimes they eat more and sometimes less, which leads to gastrointestinal problems. Irregularity will cause chronic gastrointestinal diseases in dogs over time. Therefore, a fixed amount of food is very necessary for the health of the dog. Of course, this amount is mainly to meet the basic needs of the dog.

Dosage of dog feed

Dogs need to eat enough food every day to maintain normal activities, but eating too much can easily lead to overweight. The amount of food depends not only on the dog’s amount of exercise, but also on its metabolic rate. A dog's energy needs are not directly proportional to weight gain. Judging from the relationship between food intake and weight, the larger the dog, the less energy it needs. For example, a 2kg Chihuahua requires 963 kilojoules of calories per day, while a 30kg dog requires 7116 kilojoules of calories per day, which is only 7 times that of a Chihuahua.
