1. Precautions for eating meat
If it is meat, in addition to hunting meat, it is generally better to let dogs eat raw, but fish is different. It is best to feed fish to dogs if it is cooked or canned. Fish that contain more fat are difficult to digest and should not be given to dogs. Shrimp, crab, cuttlefish, octopus, jellyfish, etc. can easily cause indigestion if eaten by dogs, and should not be fed to dogs.
Let’s talk about bones. When it comes to dogs, it is always said that they love to chew bones, but if you need to feed them bones to supplement calcium, beef bones and pig bones are better. Chicken bones are not suitable. Chicken bones are relatively brittle and can easily break into small pieces after being chewed into pieces. The tips of the small pieces are particularly sharp, and the German Shepherd can easily scratch the stomach and intestines if swallowed. Fish bones are also as dangerous as chicken bones and should not be eaten by dogs. But for canned fish, the bones are already crispy, so it’s not a big problem.
Chicken legs, chicken breasts, etc. are rich in high-quality protein, but the disadvantage is that they contain too much phosphorus. If you feed your dog with fully nutritious dog food, you must be extra careful when feeding your dog other foods. Because it is easy to create new nutritional imbalances.
Seasonings such as pepper, chili pepper, mustard, mustard seeds, and ginger will affect the olfactory sensitivity of the German Shepherd, so you must not feed it.
In addition, as everyone knows, onions cannot be fed to German Shepherds, because eating too many onions can easily cause poisoning. The symptoms include the discharge of strong brown hematuria within one or two days after eating, accompanied by dysentery and vomiting, so special attention should be paid to this.
2. Don’t feed dogs sweet food
A craving for sweets is probably a common problem among dogs and humans, but sweets such as snacks and sugar can easily lead to obesity, and can also easily lead to insufficient calcium absorption and dental caries, which is not good for dogs at all. Especially as an indoor dog lives with the family all day long, it is easy for the owner to feed it cakes and other things during their free time. For the sake of your dog's health, please don't do this.
Theobromine in chocolate reduces blood flow to the brain in animals, which may cause heart disease and other potentially fatal problems. The higher the purity of chocolate, the higher the content of theobromine it contains, and the greater the risk to dogs.
3. Don’t let your dog take in too much vitamin C
Dogs can synthesize vitamin C in their bodies from the meat they eat. Therefore, there is no need to feed your dog fresh vegetables and fruits containing vitamin C. Eating too much can easily cause indigestion, so you should pay attention to this.
4. Some foods are not suitable for dogs
Some foods may have too low nutritional value or may be difficult to digest. Most of these foods that are not suitable for dogs are ones that dogs would not eat in their wild days. Because dogs inherit meatMany of the habits of eating animals mean that the body is no longer adapted to digesting these foods, and we should remember this.
5. Pay attention to onions mixed in food
Onions can easily cause poisoning because of an enzyme contained in onions. Small amounts of onions may be mixed into beef patties, omelets, stir-fries, and many other foods. When feeding human food to dogs. Carefully check whether onions are mixed in the feeding equipment.
