How to feed dogs? Adult dogs are fed twice a day, dogs aged three months are fed four times a day, and dogs aged three to eight months are fed three times a day. Dogs should be fed nutritious and comprehensive foods, including vegetables and meat. The food should be balanced; dogs cannot drink milk, and puppies should choose special dog milk powder.
1. Feeding times per day
For adult dogs, it is best to feed them twice a day. Once in the morning and once in the afternoon is fine. Try not to feed your dog at night, because the dog will also rest at night and will exercise less, which will cause the dog to become irritated. Indigestion can easily affect the development of body shape and lead to obesity. Dogs that are about three months old can be fed four times a day; dogs from three months to less than eight months old can be fed three times a day. Over eight months, feed twice a day.
2. Food matching
If you find your dog chewing on weeds or sand while walking your dog. This may be caused by the dog not eating enough vegetables. Feeding your dog too much meat, liver and other foods will cause the dog’s digestive ability to decrease. Gastric acid secretion will increase, causing regurgitation. In severe cases, vomiting of yellow viscous liquid may occur, or constipation may occur. It will cause some bad effects on the dog's body. So when we feed our dogs, we must match them with some vegetables and fruits. If your dog doesn’t eat them, you can break these vegetables and fruits into pieces and mix them into your dog’s food.
Many people think that dogs like to eat meat, and only eating meat can make them grow healthily. In fact, feeding dogs in this way not only consumes a lot of food. It can also cause diarrhea and indigestion in some dogs. If you only feed your dog meat, it will lack vitamins and other trace elements. If your puppy is fed too much meat, it will cause the dog's bones to be weak. Because the ratio of calcium and phosphorus in meat is imbalanced. It will lead to malnutrition in dogs and rickets.
3. Can I drink milk
Newborn puppies should not drink milk. Many healthy puppies will have diarrhea and vomiting after drinking milk. In severe cases, death from dehydration can occur. This is because the ingredients of dog milk and cow's milk are completely different. Dog milk contains high protein, high fat, and low lactose, while cow's milk is just the opposite, containing low protein, low fat, and high lactose. Dogs have no way to absorb and digest it.
When raising puppies, we must pay attention. When choosing food, be sure to use special dog milk powder. You can feed a small amount at the beginning, and then slowly increase the amount of milk powder after the dog adapts.
