Malinois< /p>
If you have just bought a Belgian Malinois puppy, the owner should consider that the dog has just arrived at the new home and should be given time to become familiar with the new environment, instead of just playing around with the dog. During the week, it is best to feed the dog according to the original owner's feeding method, and then change the diet plan as he gradually gets used to it.
Feeding center for 2-month-olds
When the puppy comes home, the family often enjoys playing around it. Seeing its cute appearance, they can’t help but treat themselves to it. I think it is best to give puppies the best food, such as delicious meat, but puppies often have gastrointestinal disorders between 1 and 2 dawn. This kind of pampering is very wrong. What should be considered is that because the gastrointestinal digestion ability of puppies is weak, although the food contains less fiber, it should be soft and easy to digest. Generally within 3 to 4 months, it is appropriate to eat porridge-like food or dry food soaked in water. Some other foods often cause indigestion, diarrhea, etc.
It should be pointed out that puppies eating milk can easily cause diarrhea. Because there is a big difference in identity between milk and dog milk. The protein content of canine mother's milk is high, which is 3 times that of cow's milk and 7.5 times that of human milk. It is a kind of milk with high protein, high fat and low lactose, while cow's milk and milk powder used by humans are both low in protein and low in fat. and high-lactose milk substances. The enzyme in the dog's intestines that digests lactose is insufficient (genetic factors). If the milk (or food) fed to puppies contains a large amount of high sugar, it often leads to fermentation in the intestines and causes diarrhea.
Therefore, 2-month-old puppies should be fed high-protein food plus vegetables (equivalent to the food of 4 to 5-month-old babies). For example, use chicken breast or beef with less fat, add some vegetables, cut into thin strips, add some bread crumbs or rice and mix evenly. 3 to 4 times a day. If you add some calcium powder (or bone meal, active calcium, etc.) to the food and add 1 to 2 drops of vitamin A and D liquid, it can better meet the needs of the puppy's bone growth and development.
Key points for feeding 3-month-old puppies
3-month-old puppies should start to slowly consider the order of feeding. Feeding times should generally be arranged during the day to comply with the general movement sequence of animals. For example, if you have three meals a day, breakfast should be at 8 o'clock, lunch at 1 o'clock, and dinner at 6 o'clock.
The factors and quantity of food are basically the same as those at 2 months old. Because dogs are growing up significantly every day, the amount should be reduced appropriately. Generally, every 3 to 5 days, the amount needs to be reduced by 1/5 of the original conditions. Note that if you prepare the food yourself, you can add a little salt.
The body size and bone thickness of a puppy when it grows up are determined by genetics and have little to do with the amount of food eaten and the nutritional status. During the growth and development stage, all parts of the puppy's body do not grow in a balanced manner. From birth to 3 months old, the main body length increases and the weight increases. At 4 to 5 months, the main body length decreases. After 7 months, the main body height decreases.
Therefore, during the growth and development period, we must pay attention to nutritional balance and maintain sufficient nutrients. However, if a puppy eats too much, it is easy to hurt the stomach and affect gastrointestinal function. If a puppy eats too little, it will not be able to maintain the nutrients needed for body growth and development. The body will be weak, have poor immunity, and will easily get sick. Dogs in the growth and development period are generally fed food with balanced nutritional ingredients. There are many specialized puppy dog foods in the market.
Key points for feeding 4-month-old puppies
4 to 8 months is a very critical growth period for puppies, and the various nutritional needs of the dog should be met. When 4 months old, you can feed some dry dog food and rice suitable for dogs. Cooked meat, fish, vegetables and broth can all be added to special foods, or mixed with rice, pasta, etc. Add a little calcium powder and vitamin A and D liquid to the food, and you can add a little salt and sugar, but remember not to overdo it.
The amount of food varies with the breed of dog and the size of the body. If there are several dogs, it is impossible to give the same amount, so pay attention to different treatments. Generally, feed an amount of food the size of a puppy's head at each meal, and feed it twice a day, morning and evening. How much each dog can eat must be well controlled by the owner. It is best to keep feeding time away from each other to avoid getting injured due to fights over food.
