How to feed golden retriever dogs

How to feed a Golden Retriever? Golden Retrievers aged 2-3 months can eat soft food, which can be soaked dog food, milk cake, goat milk powder, etc.; Golden Retrievers aged 4-6 months can be fed dry dog ​​food gradually, and Appropriate exercise; Golden retrievers from 7-9 months to adulthood should pay attention to a balanced diet and appropriate calcium supplements.

Golden retriever puppies between 2 and 3 months old. 2-month-old puppies have just begun to adapt to soft food, and their bodies are growing rapidly, especially their bones. After 3 months, you can gradually add an appropriate amount of dry and hard food (such as dry dog ​​food) to help promote the growth of teeth and gums. Puppies in this period have poor resistance, incomplete bone development, and their own immune system is not yet complete, so special attention should be paid to diet, drinking water, exercise and rest. Pay attention to dietary hygiene and do not feed spoiled food. Drinking water needs to be changed frequently. Try to avoid strenuous activities during exercise (especially pay attention to the puppy's butt and hind legs to avoid gravity trauma). Be careful not to catch cold when resting.

Golden retriever puppies that are 4 to 6 months old will have their first peak growth period (skeletal growth) in both height and weight. During this period, you should pay more attention to the amount of exercise. It is best to divide it into three times a day, preferably one hour after meals. During this period, puppies will lose teeth. Owners can pay attention to observation. If the puppies show poor eating or have no appetite, they can mix some soft food (such as canned food for dogs). You can also buy some special chews for dogs (preferably packaged). Careful owners can collect the puppies’ lost teeth as souvenirs.

Golden Retrievers aged 7 to 9 months have entered the embarrassing period, which is also the second peak growth period (fur). My food intake is much greater than before, and my exercise level is much higher. If you have started to supplement calcium in the second stage, the amount can be increased appropriately in the third stage. During this period, the main growth is its own fur, so you must ensure that you comb the fur for no less than 30 minutes a day, and you can also feed it hair beauty products (such as hair beauty oil, hair beauty powder). You will be surprised to find that the hair on its body will become longer, denser, softer and shiny day by day.
