Misunderstandings in dog daily feeding
Time:2022.08.02
In the process of feeding dogs by every dog lover, there are many feeding misunderstandings that seem reasonable, but in fact are not good for the health of dogs, and even seriously harmful. These misconceptions are often caused by the owner's excessive love for dogs. Experts point out the common misunderstandings in life that lead to dogs eating too much.
Mistake 1. Eating fast must be hungry - in fact, whether hungry or not, dogs eat very fast, which is a habit left over from the wild. In the wild, dogs face the brutal pressure of food competition, and often don't know where the next meal is after eating, so they must finish it quickly before their powerful rivals rob them of their food. This habit has not changed since the dog became a pet, so even if your dog's stomach is full, it will not slow down the eating speed. Don't think it's hungry.
Error 2: dogs who eat more are healthy - many owners think that constantly giving dogs food will make dogs grow stronger. In fact, this is a very wrong idea. In the puppy period, excessive food will make the puppy skeleton develop too fast and lead to skeleton structure deformity. For adult dogs, excessive food and relatively lack of exercise are the most common causes of obesity, while obesity will lead to many diseases such as heart disease, diabetes and so on.
Error 3. When dogs stop eating, they are full - in fact, for delicious food, most dogs are not afraid of the comer. In particular, puppies can't control their food intake. If the owner doesn't control it, it is easy to cause vomiting and diarrhea due to overeating, which will lead to acute gastroenteritis and other digestive system diseases, while indirectly caused dehydration and decreased resistance will make dogs very vulnerable to severe infectious diseases.
