Whether it is a Chow puppy or an adult dog, dog owners must do the "four things" when raising them. That is: "on time, quantitative, constant temperature, fixed quality." By doing these four things well, your dog will be less likely to get sick, and its coat will also be beautiful. Isn’t there an old saying: “Eat well and be strong”? Haha, it turns out that this principle is also applicable to dogs.
Chow Chow (Definite Introduction) < br>
>One of the four things that Chow Chow dogs should pay attention to when feeding them is "on time".
“On time” means feeding your Chow Chow at a fixed time. Feed the dog at the right time every day. This will make the dog's gastric juice secretion and gastrointestinal peristalsis systematically strengthened every time it is fed, and the hunger will be reduced, which is of great benefit for enhancing appetite and digestion and absorption.
If it is not punctual, this order will be damaged, which will not only affect the dog's food intake and digestion, but also easily cause it to suffer from gastrointestinal diseases. How many times a day is appropriate to feed a chow? Generally, the decision should be based on the age and amount of exercise of the dog. Puppies often have small stomach volumes and weak digestion power, so a little and often should be the guideline. Generally, puppies 1-2 months old are fed 4 times a day; puppies 3-6 months old are fed 3 times; dogs half a year old to 1 year old are fed 2 times; dogs over 1 year old are fed 1-2 times a day.
In addition, hunting dogs, police dogs, and military dogs with heavy workloads and intense exercise are generally fed twice a day, while family protection dogs are fed once a day to meet their needs. Small dogs need to be fed more frequently than larger dogs. Pregnant or lactating dogs should be fed 3 to 4 times a day. In addition, it should be noted that you should not feed the dog immediately after intense exercise, and do not exercise intensely after feeding.
>Two of the four things you should pay attention to when feeding Chow Chow dogs: "quantity".
"Quantitative" means that the amount of food given to the Chow Chow every day should be relevant to safety, not more and sometimes less, to prevent the dog from not eating enough or overeating. So how do you "ration" a dog that doesn't have the same amount? Generally speaking, the amount should be determined according to the needs of the dog: this depends on the breed of the dog, its age and the nature of the work or the intensity of exercise. If after feeding, the dog still bites the empty basin and barks lowly, it may not be enough; if there is often leftover food, it may be too much food. Excessive food and insufficient food will affect the normal development of dogs, especially for puppies. Excessive food will cause symptoms such as abdominal enlargement and deformation of hands and feet, so it is best to feed eight or nine minutes of drum.
>The third of the four things to pay attention to when feeding Chow Chow dogs: "Constant temperature".
"Constant temperature"That is, the temperature of the food should be controlled optimally at 40°C to avoid overcooling or overheating. When the food temperature exceeds 50°C, the dog may refuse to eat. When it is hot in summer, food should be fully cooled. When it is cold in winter , food must be heated, feeding cold feed will consume a lot of heat energy in the dog's body, and sometimes may cause miscarriage in pregnant dogs or cause gastrointestinal diseases in dogs
>Four things to pay attention to when feeding Chow Chow dogs. The fourth rule: "fixing the quality"
"fixing the quality" means paying attention to hygiene when feeding. The food should be dried and fed freshly, and there must be no moldy or spoiled food. It should be used to feed dogs. If you choose pet food, it is best to have good quality.
At the same time, the dog must be trained not to eat it as "food in the basin", but as "food for the owner". "Do not have the habit of eating. Prevent the dog from developing the habit of picking up food everywhere. Use clean tap water for drinking water, and do not use muddy water in the kitchen and water in the core to avoid food poisoning, parasitic diseases and indigestion. Organ Diseases
