Let's talk about other people's feeding experience.
Get ready for a puppy.
If you decide to have a puppy, it is better to follow the following methods, and your dog will definitely accept and like you soon.
First, it is best to choose a holiday morning and bring the dog into the house before breakfast, so that you can have a whole day to get familiar with the dog. The puppy suddenly left his mother, his brothers and sisters, and his familiar smell, and his heart was bound to panic. At this time, he had to find a new "mountain". At this time, you have to shoulder the responsibility thoughtfully and carefully. The reason for making it empty in the morning is that it may get carsick, so as not to throw up in a mess.
Second, when you first come into contact with a dog, you should first hold it tightly. First, protect the dog's chest with one hand in a position where the thumb, forefinger and middle finger are separated, and then clamp the two front legs with the thumb and forefinger and forefinger and middle finger respectively. Hold his hind legs and hips with the other hand, and clamp his arms, so that the puppy can stick to your body, so that he can quickly get familiar with your smell and feel your body temperature, and you will be his owner from now on. Never mention the dog's ears. The fur on the tail and even the back.
Third, on the way home, keep calling its name softly. If the dog is unstable, you can keep rubbing its neck and chin with your index finger.
Fourth, when you get home, don't be in a hurry to tease him. He may get carsick and tired. Let the dog drink some water, go to the chosen designated place to pee, and then put it in his nest. Put one of your old clothes in the nest, because the old clothes smell of you, which can make it feel that you are around and have a good sleep.
Fifth, the kennel should be placed in a quiet corner to avoid blowing directly into the cold air. As long as the dog wakes up, take it to the designated place immediately, and it may want to pee. Let it eat the same food as before, four times a day, not too much each time.
6. Don't let it drink a lot of water at night, eat a meal before going to bed, and clean up the urine and urine, so that it can sleep longer and not get up too early.
Seven, the first day or two, the puppy will always cry at night because it is not used to it. At this time, you can stop it softly, don't be too loud, and scare it; Don't hug it because it cries, so it's easy to develop its dependence. The habit of coquetry. To prevent it from crying at night, you can also cover the cage or kennel with a big towel or newspaper. If you cry like this, there will be an echo, and you can also let it slowly calm down.
Eight, if there are young children at home, we should teach them how to treat puppies. For example, the correct way to hug him, don't hug him when nothing happens, don't make sudden movements or sounds, so as not to scare him, and don't tease the puppy, and don't feed him dog food or snacks before the meal time. The puppy may be listless and have a bad appetite in the first two or three days. Don't worry too much, it's a normal adaptation process. You can feed it with water or nutrition, and let it rest more.
Nine, if more than three days, it is best to find a doctor to check. Find a veterinarian who is close to home and has good medical skills and ethics, so that he can consult and see a doctor at any time. Fix a doctor as much as possible, so that he can master all the conditions of the puppy, and the puppy is more cooperative.
Feeding of puppies!
Puppies can get most of the nutrients they need from their mother's milk before weaning. Before the puppy moves to a new home, it should have been completely weaned and started eating solid food. Then it will completely rely on its new owner to provide it with a balanced diet to get all the nutrients it needs.
In order to ensure that puppies are lively and healthy, it is very important to provide them with balanced nutrition during their growth and development. Puppies and adult dogs need the same basic nutrients, but they need more nutrients because they are growing rapidly. Like human babies, puppies have small stomachs, so they need to eat more and less.
All puppies will grow up quickly at an early age. Usually, most breeds of dogs will weigh half as much as adults when they are four or five months old. However, different breeds of dogs have different maturity rates-for example, the growth period of large dogs is longer than that of small dogs, and small ornamental dogs reach the weight of adult dogs at the age of 8-9 months, while large dogs are still growing at this age. For example, a Newfoundland or Great Dane cannot grow to the size of an adult dog until it is 18 months old.
Large dogs or giant dogs are particularly susceptible to diet-because these dogs grow fast, their bones are easily affected by diet during development. At this stage, it is unwise to overfeed it in order to maximize its rapid growth.
Because growing up takes energy, a puppy needs two to four times as much energy as an adult dog of the same size. They must consume more protein than adult dogs-including the amino acids they need for growth, and the minerals they need for bones and teeth. Therefore, puppies must eat a lot of food, but the feeding amount should not be much at a time. The preparation of its food should meet some standards:
(1) The food is high in nutrition to ensure that it can get enough nutrients when it is full;
(2) The food is easy to digest so that it can absorb nutrients to the maximum extent;
(3) The diet must be balanced to provide suitable nutrients to meet the specific needs of puppies, and only delicious puppies will eat food.
It is very complicated to prepare a balanced food that is beneficial to the growth of puppies. Fortunately, raising puppies is no longer as complicated as it sounds. The high nutrition and balanced food specially designed for puppy growth makes it easy to raise a healthy puppy, which enables the puppy to grow sturdily. For example, the nutritious dog food produced by Baolu for puppies contains all the energy, vitamins and minerals that puppies need. For an ordinary healthy puppy, eating this food does not need to be supplemented by other foods-and eating supplementary foods will be harmful to health. If you want to feed your puppy supplementary food, you should consult the veterinarian first to make sure it won't hurt your dog.
When you adopt a puppy, you should ask the breeder about the feeding of the puppy and ask for a recipe. This will give you a detailed understanding of the types, quantities and feeding times of foods that your puppies are used to eating. Don't change the puppy's diet too quickly, because it takes a while for him to adapt to his new home, and it is very important to keep his original diet during this period. As a result of leaving the mother and entering a strange new environment, puppies will have symptoms such as indigestion and diarrhea when they first arrive. If diarrhea persists for more than 24 hours and is still getting worse, then you should see a veterinarian. If you want to change its diet, you should gradually replace it within 3-4 days after it is fully adapted.
Feeding times are related to the age, breed and individual characteristics of puppies, but all puppies must have four meals a day before they are 4 months old. It can be reduced to three meals a day at the age of 4-6 months, and can be fed twice a day after 6 months. Ornamental dogs mature faster than large dogs and can eat according to the adult dog's diet when they are 8 years old-but large dogs are still growing rapidly at this age and need to eat according to the puppy's diet for a long time.
But it should be pointed out that the needs of each puppy are different, some need more, and some need less. Whether your feeding amount is appropriate can be seen from the puppy's physical condition. Weigh your puppy regularly and record it, so you can check whether the growth rate of the puppy matches the feeding amount. Then, you can make adjustments to prevent it from being fat or thin.
Usually, the feeding time of a puppy should be10-15 minutes. The leftover food should be thrown away after dinner. Puppies must have their own utensils for eating and drinking, and they should be kept clean and separated from other utensils at home. You must also provide the puppies with sufficient and hygienic fresh water. If you find that your puppy is always thirsty, you should consult a veterinarian, because it may be a sign that the puppy is sick.
Precautions for raising puppies!
When a new member is added to the family-a "puppy", it always excites the whole family. The puppy is like a babbling baby, full of curiosity about the surrounding environment and will keep exploring, but this curiosity sometimes leads to the injury or even death of the puppy. Therefore, it is necessary to make preparations in advance before puppies enter the family.
It is necessary to prepare a safe environment for your puppy. The following tips will ensure your puppy's safe and healthy growth:
1, try not to leave a narrow gap between the furniture and articles in the room, which will make the puppy's head get stuck in it and cause physical injury;
2. The wires should be placed out of the reach of the puppies, and the owner should turn off the power when going out to prevent the puppies from eating the wires and getting electrocuted;
3. Items that are easy to collapse, such as folding ladders, should be properly placed to avoid being knocked down or crushed by puppies;
4. All medicines, pesticides and washing products should be properly placed, and the bottle cap should be tightly closed after use to prevent the puppies from poisoning;
5. Don't spray pesticides or spread rodenticide in the puppy's daily activities or passing places;
6. Cigarette butts and ash contain nicotine. If puppies accidentally swallow cigarette butts or lick ash, it will cause nicotine poisoning. Therefore, never put cigarettes or ashtrays where puppies can reach them;
7. Some plants planted at home may be toxic, so indoor flowers should be placed out of the reach of puppies. Toxic plants in the courtyard should also be effectively isolated;
8. Pressure containers such as sprays, fragrances and hair gels should be placed out of the reach of puppies, because once these containers are bitten, they will cause an explosion;
9. Please take good care of small objects such as pins and sewing needles, because once these objects are swallowed by puppies, they will have fatal consequences;
10, toys for puppies must be removed from hard objects such as eyes made of plastic or glass. If it is a rubber toy with a whistle, the whistle on the toy must be fixed firmly to prevent it from being bitten and swallowed by the puppy.
1 1, when you have prepared a safe environment for the puppy, the whole family can welcome this new member with peace of mind and fully enjoy the excitement and happiness brought to the whole family by the arrival of the puppy!
Feeding of young dogs!
Young age is the main stage of growth and development, and the body grows rapidly, so it is necessary to provide adequate nutrition. Generally, the body and weight increase mainly in the first three months, the body length increase mainly in 4-6 months, and the body height increase mainly after 7 months. Therefore, different nutrition should be supplemented according to different developmental stages. Puppies within 3 months should be fed at least 4 times a day. If they are fed less frequently, the dogs will always feel unsatisfied and will not be bored and picky about food. Puppies of 4-6 months old will gain weight quickly with the increase of food intake, and the daily feed requirement will also increase. Feed them at least three times a day, and after 6 months, feed them twice a day.
Some people think that if all dogs are fed with meat, they can grow strong, but this is actually wrong. Eating all meat can not only make dogs strong, but also cause diarrhea in most dogs because of indigestion and difficulty in absorption. Although there are many protein in meat, there are few vitamins A/D/E and iodine. At the same time, there is less calcium and more phosphorus in meat. Eating meat for a long time is easy to cause bone formation obstacles in puppies due to the imbalance of calcium and phosphorus, which is easy to break or limp. For large-scale dogs,
Dogs and others should not be fed a large amount of meat too early, otherwise it may cause the forelimbs to bend.
Water is absolutely indispensable in the breeding of puppies. Always put a basin of clear water in a fixed place so that it can drink at will before and after eating and exercising.
The puppies should be supplemented with calcium powder and vitamins, which are necessary for the growth of teeth and bones. Every outdoor exercise should have an appropriate amount, and it is easy to absorb calcium after ultraviolet irradiation.
In the management of raising puppies, it is necessary to prevent a few puppies from overeating. The daily food intake should be determined according to the size of the dogs, and it is not advisable to overfeed, with 70% to 80% being full being the best. In addition, because the gastrointestinal tract of puppies is still developing, more attention should be paid to hygiene to prevent gastrointestinal diseases.
