How to feed an Irish Setter? The feeding time of an Irish Setter should be limited to 30 minutes, and the food bowl should be cleaned after that time. Irish Setter dogs are generally fed canned food, pemmican, dry dog ​​food, semi-raw food and chewing gum. Owners can make some dog food to feed, such as chicken nuggets mixed with rice or noodles, but remember not to add spices.

It is very important to arrange the amount of food scientifically and reasonably. Sufficient food can make the puppy easier to tame, otherwise the puppy will gradually become anxious. In addition, keeping the food bowl in front of the dog is not advisable and very unhygienic. This makes dogs susceptible to intestinal diseases, and dog diseases cannot be detected early. Generally, after 30 minutes of feeding, whether they are eating or not, the food bowl should be cleaned and taken out until the next feeding. This will help them develop good eating habits.

1. Canned food

Canned food with juicy meat and soft texture has different tastes and chewiness, which can stimulate the dog's appetite. However, it is high in protein, and usually increases caloric and carbohydrate intake when mixed with dry dog ​​food. Moreover, it loses its umami flavor after a while after opening.

　2.Pemmican

Adding crunchy pemmican to canned food for dogs not only increases the bite, increases fiber and fat, but also strengthens the movement of the palate.

　3. Dry dog ​​food

Completely dry dog ​​food is nutritionally balanced and easy to store in large quantities. Because it contains 4 times the calories of canned food, be careful not to eat too much when feeding. There are several types of dry dog ​​food:

Highly nutritious type: suitable for growing Irish Setter puppies, but be careful to choose one that is easy to digest.

Ordinary type: for adult dogs, nutrition and calories have been calculated based on activity level.

Low-calorie type: Suitable for old dogs, dogs who are obese or do not exercise enough. It is a low-calorie weight loss food.

For tooth grinding: a large, brittle dry food that stabilizes the gums and removes tartar.

　4. Half-raw food

This food is similar to cheese and has three times the calories of canned food. However, it contains a lot of carbohydrates, so dogs with diabetes don’t like to eat it. Like dry dog ​​food, leaving it out for a day will not affect its taste. It can be fed to greedy and elderly dogs in small amounts, depending on their amount of exercise.

5. Bite glue

This is a bone-like colloid made by compressing beef bone powder. Dogs need to grind their teeth frequently, but if the glue is too small, it will be swallowed in one bite. Chicken bones are thin and brittle and can easily hurt the mouth and stomach. Big beef bones that are too hard may break teeth, so this is a very suitable food.

　6.Family food

A nutritionally balanced and rich diet for humans may not necessarily be nutritionally balanced for dogs. Leftover food on the dog feeding table will develop a bad habit of begging for food.Habit. So we can make some dog food at home, chicken nuggets mixed with rice or noodles, which is a very suitable food. Chicken is easy to digest and has lower calories than beef and pork, but remember not to add spices. The amount of rice or noodles should be enough to be eaten in one sitting. Sesame seeds, shellfish, foods with high salt content, vegetable soups, etc. should not be fed.
