How to feed a dog, I believe most pet owners think is a very simple thing, but scientific feeding is not an easy thing.
Dog eating can be roughly divided into two main factions:
The first pie is to eat nothing left, no matter what the owner gives to eat, just pour it in the food bowl and eat it in minutes.
The second faction is to eat nothing, picky pie, no matter how delicious the owner gives, smell it, eat a few bites, and then walk away.
Both types of dogs will cause headaches for their owners. For dogs that eat too fast, the owner is worried that it will not digest well. For dogs that do not eat well, the owner is always worried about what to eat. If they eat poorly, they will become malnourished, especially for picky eaters. It's the painstaking effort, not to mention wasting food, the owner also made it angry.
So why are dogs picky eaters?
In fact, dogs are generally picky eaters for two reasons:
The first is caused by disease.
The second is caused by the owner's wrong feeding method and over-spoiling.
However, the owner's wrong feeding method makes the dog a bad habit of picky eating, which is the most difficult to correct, so today the pet doctor will teach you a few correct feeding methods.
3 tips for feeding dogs
In time:
We feed the dog dog, whether it's big dog or puppy, whether adult dogs or puppies, be sure to let them get into the habit of a regular meals since childhood, the need to master the long-term persistence, can make them form a conditioned reflex, such as puppies we once every 4 to 6 hours to feed, such as adult feeding 2 times a day, even if is all according to our people eat in a day time, early to middle three can also, but must be fed in a fixed time period.
For example, feeding the dog at 8 o'clock in the morning should not be delayed until 10:00, or feeding at 20:00 in the evening should not be delayed until 22:00, otherwise the dog's biological clock is not a conditioned reflex, and it is not good for their gastrointestinal function.
Knowledge:
After the stomach function forms the conditioned reflex, each to this time point, begins to secrete the digestive juice, if does not have the food, then the digestive juice has certain stimulation to the stomach and intestines
Quantitative:
We give dogs food and rationing this habit, in fact, most owners have it, because when everyone first buys a dog, this is a compulsory course for pet owners, and it is also a special skill for pet owners, but when the dog grows up, In order to make the dog eat fat, I forgot this skill. In fact, feeding the dog quantitatively can not only prevent the dog from being picky eaters, but also protect the dog's gastrointestinal function.
Quantitative feeding, for example, we let the dog eat 7 points full for the regular meal, leaving the dog with 3 points of the stomach, and then in the next non-dinner time, can be filled with snacks or training rewards, even if it is not filled, the dog eats 7 points Fullness is also an ideal amount of food.
The dog's gastrointestinal function is adapted to a fixed amount of food, and then its gastrointestinal function will have a certain memory. If the owner does not give the dog a certain amount of food, then the dog's gastrointestinal motility and digestion will not know how to exert force. So it is not good for the dog's stomach.
Fixed point:
This habit of fixed-point feeding can actually be maintained by many owners, because the dog food bowl is placed in a fixed position, but some pet owners will feed by hand and watch the dog eat by their side. In fact, this approach is wrong. We should let the dog form a fixed place to eat, let it form a place, know that it can eat.
Many people think that fixed-point feeding does not make much sense for the dog's picky eaters. In fact, everyone is wrong, such as our dining table, refrigerator, and snack cabinet. When we are in these places where we can eat, we just need to pass, Then I thought of eating, or when I thought of eating, then I thought of this place.
Fixed-point feeding not only allows the dog to form a good eating habit, but also maintains the sanitation of the floor. Although the dog's food is now dry food, there will still be a lot of grease that stains the floor and needs to be cleaned by the owner.
By timing, quantitative, fixed point, the three feeding method, can let the dog dog to form a good habit, the dog dog to a certain time clock suggested it was hungry, then I will go where it can often eat into things such as host feeding, and then to the fixed food, again want to eat also have no, and then wait for the master's reward at ordinary times.
Tips:
Being good to dogs is not about giving them what they like to eat. If they eat a single food for a long time, even if the nutrition is high, they will be malnourished, because it is impossible for a dog's body to only need one kind of nutrition. It is good for dogs.
Picky eaters are not just a waste of food, but also harmful to their health, such as the gastrointestinal tract, such as fatty liver and obesity of dogs who eat meat for a long time.
Don't think that the dog will be hungry if it is not full. Feed it all the time and make it 10 minutes full for every meal.
Let the dog exercise more, only if the food metabolizes fast, it will be hungry fast.
