Soviet wolfhound feeding points
For the Soviet Russian wolfhound who is good at running, whether the bones are well developed is quite important. Some calcium powder should be properly added to supplement it when feeding, because calcium will slowly pass away during exercise, and if there is loss, there must be gain, so as to balance.
Protein is an essential nutrient for pets, but the protein in different foods is different. Some proteins are not really absorbed by them, so we can't feed them some protein-containing foods in order to supplement them with protein. The protein in plant-based feeds can only digest 60-80%, so feeding them too much of this protein is not beneficial, but may cause symptoms such as abdominal pain and diarrhea.
The training of the Soviet Russian Wolfhound is also different, so you can't just tolerate it. Be strict when you should be strict. Of course, sometimes you need to be gentle. The master must be precise about this.
