Odda Hound (confirm introduction)
The diet of Otterhounds is similar to that of other dogs. He cannot eat the food and snacks that many people eat. Therefore, in the process of raising Otterhounds, owners should not only avoid feeding unhealthy foods. In addition, food that is harmful to the health of dogs must be collected to prevent it from being stolen. The following is an introduction to the dietary priorities of Odda Hounds in daily life.
1. Don’t give milk to puppies, just give it clean water. Because the ingredients of dog milk and cow’s milk are completely different, dog milk contains high protein, high fat and low fat. Lactose, while milk contains low protein, low fat and high lactose. The two ingredients are very different. The intestines and stomach of puppies cannot absorb and digest milk, and gastrointestinal diseases such as diarrhea will occur.
2. The meat must be broken into pieces before it can be eaten by dogs. The bones of chickens, ducks, geese and other poultry are small and hard. Unlike pig and cow bones, which are easily chewed by dog teeth, they are basically impossible to chew by puppies. Dogs swallow these bones whole, and occasionally they puncture the throat or stomach, causing the dog to lose its life. Therefore, when feeding dogs, chickens, ducks, and geese, the bones must be removed.
3. Foods containing too much mustard and chili pepper will cause mouth ulcers in dogs. In case of gastrointestinal corruption, it is impossible to feed.
4. Onions are absolutely no food that can be fed to dogs. Onions are highly toxic to dogs’ blood. If dogs eat too much, they can cause acute anemia and even be life-threatening.
5. Foods with high salt content such as salted fish, small fish and shrimps, bacon, food ham and bacon should not be fed to dogs.
6. Refrigerated milk, ice cream and other dairy products cannot be given to dogs, especially for puppies that are not fully developed. Often a few mouthfuls of cold milk will cause diarrhea in puppies. In the long run, this will cause habitual diarrhea, which will lead to weakness in the dog's body. The dog's intestines and stomach are not suitable for this kind of food.
Puppies under 7.3 months old are best fed commercial puppy food because the nutritional mix is more reasonable. If the puppy food is too thick, you can soak it in warm water to soften it.
8. When preparing food for puppies, it is best not to put too much meat. Because the gastrointestinal development of puppies is not healthy enough, excessive amounts of meat will overload their gastrointestinal tract and cause diarrhea; in particular, digestive disorders caused by feeding meat easily can sometimes be fatal.
9. Puppies cannot be short of water. For puppies, lack of water isThe hazard is more serious than hunger. Prepare enough water for the puppy and let it drink freely. Containers holding water should be cleaned every day and kept clean. Puppies need sufficient calcium to develop their bodies, so it is appropriate to add some calcium powder to their feed. About 1 teaspoon is needed every day. As the age increases, the dosage of calcium powder should be reduced proportionally.
10. Never feed rancid or spoiled food to Odda Hounds.
11. If the dog refuses to eat for more than 24 hours, you should consider sending it to the hospital for consultation. It may be a sign of illness.
