Dogs, as well as people, meet different types of the constitution: with a normal, excess or insufficient weight. In many respects the weight of a dog depends on her food and on physical activities. An important factor in maintenance of a dog in normal weight is her health. How to gain weight to a dog if it seems to you that it is insufficient?
Instruction
1. The insufficient weight of a dog can be connected with some diseases of internals, for example, of a liver or a pancreas. First of all, of course, address the veterinarian. He will appoint to your dog analyses (clinical and biochemical blood test and the analysis a calla). If they detect the diseases of internals, then the veterinarian will appoint to your dog a course of drug treatment and will pick up her a suitable diet.
2. Perhaps, the dog loses weight because of defeat of an organism helminths. The veterinarian can also define it, having looked at results of analyses. If such problem is present, buy anthelminthic medicine (correctly the veterinarian will also help you to pick up it) and give it to the dog. Usually after the solution of this problem to a dog the appetite is restored, and she quickly gains the weight necessary for it.
3. If with your dog everything is all right, then it is worth reconsidering her diet. If you feed the pet with natural sterns, do not forget that the dog is, first of all a predator! When feeding by a natural forage, in food of a dog take forages as a basis, protein-rich animal origin – meat, fish and fermented milk products.
4. At preparation of porridge for the dog consider that meat or offal there have to be about 70%, and a croup – 30%. You cook at first grain (rice, buckwheat, millet is more preferable - it is the richest with croup fats. But pay attention that millet needs to be razvarivat carefully) and only then add small cut meat, an offal or fish to porridge. From meat the dogs can give beef and chicken. Beef is given either pair, or well exposed to frost. Before feeding surely remove all tubular bones from chicken. Give fish oceanic, previously having slightly welded her and having removed from her all bones.
5. Feed an offal (heart, a lung, a liver, kidneys, a hem) to a dog in the raw, except a liver – it should be boiled. Well feeding of the crude crude beef hem helps to gain weight to a dog. Give it to the dog before going to bed in pure form, that is without porridge as additional bait. Several times a week give to a dog between feedings fermented milk products: kefir, varenets, cottage cheese.
6. And, of course, do not forget about vitamins! When feeding by natural sterns they are simply necessary. When choosing vitamins it is desirable to consult with the veterinarian. And it is the is best of all vitamins not in tablets, and in the form of pricks – so they are quicker and more effectively acquired by an organism.
7. If you feed the pet with dry feeds, then here everything is simple. Give preference to sterns "Premium" and Superpremium of classes. Choose a forage with higher content of proteins (for example, for active dogs). When feeding a dog a dry feed, vitamins should not be added. And here the crude beef hem will not prevent at all.
