Many people think raising a dog is simple, so don’t you just give it food and water? What’s the difficulty?
But in fact, more and more people now regard dogs as part of their family, follow the science of raising dogs, and want to keep dogs healthier and longer.
Today, we will count 8 feeding methods that may harm the health of dogs, and see if you are still feeding dogs like this. If you are hit, correct it quickly!
1. When the puppy gets home, it feeds milk
Some shovelers see that the dog is still small and it is inconvenient to eat anything, so they think about feeding milk. In fact, this is wrong, because a large number of dogs are intolerant of the lactose in milk and will vomit and diarrhea after drinking it, especially for such a small dog, whose gastrointestinal function is not perfect, which is more likely to cause gastrointestinal diseases.
Correct way: You can feed puppies goat milk, or choose puppies that do not contain lactose, safer. Don’t always think, “If my dog drinks milk, it’s okay.” Don’t bet, once the puppies are not well raised, you will be the one who is troubled.
2. Dogs are given snacks only 2 months old
I believe many owners are very excited when they first raise a dog, and want to feed some delicious food to the dog to express their strong love for it. However, if your dog is only 2 months old and less than 3 months old, it is recommended not to give it snacks. Although it likes it, the puppy's stomach and intestines are difficult to digest snacks, and it will cause indigestion and discomfort. In severe cases, it will also cause vomiting and diarrhea.
Correct way: If you really want to give a 2-month-old dog some reward, you can give it a few dried dog food to eat. The puppies are curious about everything, and they can eat it with relish even ordinary dog food.
3. It often makes the dog hungry, and a full meal
Some owners are too busy or too careless and forget to feed the dog. There is no problem with one or two meals. They are afraid that they will do this frequently and make the dog hungry enough, and then give it a lot of food. Frequently hungry meal will put a burden on the dog's stomach and intestines. Once the stomach is not good, the physical condition will also become worse.
Correct way: feed the dog regularly and regularly every day. Adult dogs can feed 2 to 3 meals a day. Maintaining a good diet is more beneficial to the health of the dog.
4. Give dogs fried foods and desserts
The dog's nose is really effective. When you smell fried foods and desserts, you will immediately run towards you. Some owners see that the dog is so cute and will share it with it. It doesn't matter much when eating a little occasionally, but don't eat it often. Foods with large amounts of oil and high sugar content will make the dog obese, and even cause diseases such as three highs and diabetes that are difficult to cure in life.
Correct way to do it: Keep a light diet in your daily life, do not eat sweets, and help your dog control its weight more.
5. Let the dog eat meat every meal, and eat vegetables for a few bites
Some owners love dogs so much. Seeing that they love eating meat so much, they give meat every meal. If the dog doesn’t like vegetables, they won’t feed them. There will definitely be problems if you eat like this for a long time. Dogs will be malnourished, and it may also cause pancreatitis because eating too much meat, which makes the dog unbearable pain. Severe pancreatitis can also cause sensitization.
Correct way: Pay attention to the reasonable combination of meat, vegetables and fruits, especially shovelers who like to make homemade for dogs, and pay more attention to this point.
6. Crude grain exchange
There are many types of dog food on the market now, and the nutritional value is also different. Dogs' stomach and intestines are naturally fragile. There is a process to adapt to new dog food. If you change grains roughly, it may cause dogs to have soft stools and diarrhea, especially the dog food I used to eat, and suddenly change to dog food with a high crude protein content, which is easier to have diarrhea.
Correct way: Do not feed dogs some poor nutritional dog food. When changing grain, use the 7-day transition method. In the first few days, you can add some probiotics to the dog food to feed it together to help smoothly change grain.
7. Suddenly give the dog a lot of food that he has not eaten before
Just like changing dog food, the dog needs to adapt to other fresh foods. If he suddenly gives it a lot of food that he has not eaten before, the dog will easily have soft stool and diarrhea.
Correct way: The first feeding requires a small amount. If the dog has no adverse reactions, you can increase it a little next time and proceed step by step.
8. For dogs to eat a lot of additives, commercial grain
Now there are too many dog food brands that consumers can come into contact with, and they are dazzling. However, shovelers must learn more tips for choosing dog food to avoid choosing commercial grain for dogs, because these dog foods have a lot of additives and poor choice of raw materials, which is difficult to meet the nutritional needs of dogs. Dogs are still prone to illness after eating them.
Correct way: It is best to choose some natural grains and grain-free grains, fresh ingredients, no artificial additives, and nutritional, and dogs will be healthier after eating them.
