The correct development, physical activity, health and finally life expectancy of your dog directly depend on that, how correctly you will feed her. And business here not only in competently picked up individual diet, but also in a diet. It significantly differs at puppies and at adult dogs.
Food of a dog after a year
As to a year and a half of years, depending on breed, dog it is considered a puppy, is at this age to it it is necessary often. Kids up to 2 months are fed by 6 times a day, from 2nd to 3 months – 5 times a day, from 5 months to 1 year a puppy on three meals a day, and after a year the young dog should be transferred to two times food.
Some dog handlers I advise gradually, by 2-3 years to accustom a dog is only once a day, but the majority after all considers that optimum to feed an active and mobile animal, especially if it is a working dog, two times – after morning and after evening walk. It is not necessary to treat an animal as to the whimsical child and to offer him a forage after a while after he already refused it. It is also not necessary to leave an uneaten forage in a bowl of a dog.If the dog refused feeding or, having a little eaten, was distracted by other classes, consider that you fulfilled the master's duty and the dog is simply not hungry. You take away on feeding no more than 15 minutes then the dog has to have only one bowl – with fresh water. Such mode of feeding disciplines an animal and gradually the dog will quickly eat everything that to her was put. But when the adult dog who already got used to such feeding refuses food, observe her behavior – quite perhaps that she is not healthy. At animals, as well as at the person, the refusal of habitual and favourite food can serve as a signal of a disease.
As it is correct to feed a dog
Remember that your mistakes can become the cause of chronic diseases at a dog. You do not feed with its those products from your table which you consider delicacies – meat and fish smoked products, the matured cheeses, sharp, salty and sweet have to be under the strict ban. Puppies at whom second teeth were not created yet cannot give bones. And tubular bones of a bird the sharp splinters can ruin also an adult animal. Adjust standard daily rate of a forage depending on the sizes, age and physical activity of your pet. If he spent the day off with you in nature in bustle and games, the quantity of food should be increased. When there is enough forage, the normal fatness which is not hiding the developed muscles will be an indicator of it. When the dog seems to you thin, consult to the veterinarian and if necessary increase day norm. Remember that overfeeding a dog, you provoke obesity that leads to violation of warm activity.
