Second, living habits.
1, rest
German shepherd is a nesting animal. It is used to resting in its own nest. The nest must be clean and comfortable.
Step 2: Eat
1) canned food
Juicy canned soft meat has different tastes and mouthfeel, which can promote
Dog's appetite. However, it contains high protein, and usually when mixed with dry dog food, the intake of calories and carbohydrates will increase. Besides, it will lose its umami flavor after a period of time.
2) Dry meat pie
Adding crispy dry meat pie to canned food of dogs not only has biting force, increases fiber and fat, but also strengthens palatal movement.
3) Dry dog food
All-dry dog food has balanced nutrition and is beneficial to mass storage. Because it contains four times as many calories as canned food, be careful not to eat too much when feeding.
There are several kinds of dry dog food:
High nutritional type. Suitable for growing German shepherd puppies, but pay attention to choose ones that are easy to digest.
Ordinary type. For adult dogs, nutrition and calories have been calculated according to the amount of activity.
Low calorie type. Suitable for old dogs, obese dogs and dogs with insufficient exercise, a low-calorie diet food.
Used for grinding teeth. A large crisp dry food that can stabilize gums and remove tartar.
4) Undercooked food
This kind of food is similar to cheese and has three times as many calories as canned food. But the carbohydrate content is high, and diabetic dogs don't like it. Like dry dog food, leaving it outside for a day will not affect the taste. You can feed a small amount according to the amount of exercise of the greedy old dog.
5) Glue biting
This is a bone-like colloid made of bovine bone powder. Dogs need to grind their teeth frequently, but if there is too little glue, they will swallow it in one bite. Chicken bones are thin and brittle, which easily hurts the mouth and stomach. Daniel's bones are too hard and he may break his teeth, so this is a very suitable food.
wolf dog
I. Morphological characteristics

Male dogs have a shoulder height of 50-80cm, and some large dogs will exceed this standard (the new version of Wolf Blue is said to have a shoulder height of more than 90 cm) and weigh 30-50 kg, while female dogs have a shoulder height of 50-75 and a weight of 25-40 kg.
Second, habits
1. Domestic dogs are carnivores. When feeding, animal protein and fat should be prepared in the feed, supplemented by vegetarian ingredients to ensure the normal development and health of domestic dogs.
2. The digestive tract of domestic dogs is shorter than that of herbivores. The hydrochloric acid content in the stomach of domestic dogs ranks first among domestic animals, and the intestinal wall thickness has strong absorption ability, which is easy to digest meat food and suitable for digestion.
Dogs belong to canine family, and they don't chew very much when eating, which can be described as "wolfing down". If you want to feed coarse fiber vegetables, you'd better chop them up or cook them.
4. The dog's defecation center has not developed enough to defecate on the move, so we should give it a certain defecation time.
5. Dogs like to bite. This is also the habit of biting prey in the original ecology. Give it some bones from time to time when you feed it, which is good for grinding your teeth.
6. Dogs have unique self-defense ability. After eating toxic food, they will cause vomiting reaction and spit out toxic food.
7. In hot summer, dogs open their mouths and hang down their long tongues, and rely on the evaporation of water in saliva to dissipate heat.
8. When dogs live in groups, there is also a "hierarchy" and a master-slave relationship. Establishing such an order can maintain the stability of the group and reduce the struggle caused by the struggle for food and living space.
9. When a dog is lying down, it always turns around, perhaps because it is comfortable to lie down, perhaps because of some instinct left over.
10. Dogs like to be touched on the head, neck and back.
