What are the precautions for feeding Schnauzers? Feeding Schnauzers should be done at a fixed time and in a certain amount, and the tableware should be disinfected regularly. You can customize a set of dietary rules by yourself; the food you feed Schnauzers should not be too salty to prevent the salt content from being too high. It will cause Schnauzer hair loss and increase the burden on the organs; the best food ratio is 30% protein and 20% fat, and the eating time should be limited.

1. It is best to fix the feeding time and location, and pay attention to cleaning and disinfection of tableware. Each feeding should be carried out at a fixed time. It is best not to change the location back and forth, and the feeding amount should be similar to prevent the Schnauzer from overeating or undereating. From the time a Schnauzer is born to an adult dog to an elderly dog, the feeding throughout its life should be treated specifically according to the physical condition of the Schnauzer at each stage. If you are not too clear about this and are afraid of the impact of improper feeding on your dog, it is recommended to consult a relevant pet doctor to develop a set of healthy eating rules for your dog.

2. The salt content in food should be carefully controlled. It must not be too salty (about 1.4%), otherwise it will cause easy hair loss and increase the burden on the organs, because Schnauzers are extremely sensitive to sodium (Na). , giving 3.7 grams of salt (NaCl) per kilogram of body weight can cause death; human ingredients such as garlic, ginger and onions, as well as spicy foods such as onions and peppers are not suitable for feeding Schnauzers, especially chocolate. Be careful not to let snow If a dog eats it accidentally, because the dog cannot secrete theobromine and caffeine, it will cause poisoning phenomena: such as rapid heartbeat, extreme excitement, convulsions, elevated body temperature, etc. In severe cases, it will affect the central nervous system and lead to heart failure and death. Before and after meals It is not advisable to let Schnauzers do strenuous exercise, otherwise it will affect digestion.

3. In the nutritional ratio of feed, it is best to have 30% protein and 20% fat. For Schnauzers that are still in their puppy state, attention should also be paid to properly supplementing the dog with calcium. For adult dogs, feeding two to three times a day is appropriate. When the Schnauzer eats, don’t let it eat too fast, especially gobble it up. Wait until the Schnauzer has finished eating, take the food bowl away immediately, and don't let it get into the habit of not eating well and then eating after a while.
