some people see puppies' cute big eyes, small ears and paws, and they can't help but take them home on a whim. look cute, but in fact cute and fragile, to raise a puppy, is not a simple thing. just by feeding this part, there is a lot to be aware of. if you do not pay attention to the diet of the puppy, feeding and eating indiscriminately may ruin the dog's life. let's take a look at the 5 points to pay attention to when feeding puppies.
dogs before 1 or 1 month of age, it is best to breastfeed
dogs are best breastfed when they are born, the nutrition of breast milk is more comprehensive for puppies, more adapted to the stomach of puppies, and with a certain degree of maternal antibodies, resistance will become stronger, and dogs that have been breastfeeding for 2 months will be more robust.
2, weaned dogs, do not feed dog food directly
dogs in the weaning period need to transition, you can use goat's milk to soak the dog food and then feed the dog, can not directly give the puppy dry food. suddenly, when only dog food is eaten, their digestive system may not be able to bear it, resulting in vomiting thinning. puppies eat and swallow, often swallow without slowly chewing, in the case of incomplete gastrointestinal development, it is easy to have problems.
3, puppies should eat puppy food, not adult dog food
dogs should pay attention to the selection of dog food for puppies during the puppy period. because puppies need different nutrients than they need to complete them, the recipes for dog food will also vary. if a puppy eats adult dog food for a long time, it will grow slowly and be smaller than the same dog of the same age. therefore, when buying dog food, you must be optimistic, do not put it.
4, puppies should eat less and more meals
puppies' digestive system is not yet fully developed, and they need to eat less and eat more meals to allow them to digest and absorb better. generally, according to the feeding amount on the dog food instructions, divide the dog's daily dog food into several parts and feed it regularly. for newly weaned dogs, it is best to eat 4 meals a day. after 3 months of age, it can be converted to three meals a day. eating less and eating more meals is very important, if a brain let the dog eat a lot, it can not digest, not only will increase the burden of the stomach and intestines, the nutritional supply will not be enough.
5, regular feeding, rather than letting the dog have food at any time
the owner must not provide food to the dog 24 hours a day, which will make the dog develop various bad habits, and if you want to train the dog through food in the future, it will be more difficult. we should choose a fixed time to feed the dog every day, and if the dog does not finish eating the food on the ground within ten minutes, then take it away, which can also correct his possible picky eating habits.
puppy feeding is also a college question. of course, there are also some puppies with good physique and strong growth. but most puppies are as fragile as children, and if the owner does not want to regret it, take care of them carefully.
