Due to the imbalance of calcium and phosphorus ratio, bone development disorders can easily occur, such as lameness, O or X-shaped legs, etc.

Some dog owners love their Pomeranian dogs very much. I am always afraid that my pet dog will be malnourished and wish I could grow into a "lion" overnight, so I always continue to strengthen nutrition and feed my little Pomeranian meat. In fact, this is a very wrong approach! Eating all meat will not only fail to make Pomeranian dogs strong, but will also make them prone to indigestion, difficulty in absorption, and cause diarrhea in most dogs.
Although there is a lot of protein in meat, it has less vitamin A, vitamin D, vitamin E and vitamin A. At the same time, the price of Pomeranian dogs in meat is low in calcium and high in phosphorus. Eating meat for a long time can easily cause Pomeranian puppies. Due to an imbalance in the proportion of calcium and phosphorus in the body, bones form disorders and are prone to breakage or limb loss. Especially for large dogs such as Great Danes, it is not advisable to feed a large amount of meat too early, otherwise it may cause the forelimbs to bend.
Although Pomeranian is not a large dog, its body size is not small either. Therefore, dog owners should also be careful. Eating too much meat can easily cause bone and joint diseases.
Some friends bought a new Pomeranian, which is less than 2 months old. In this case, it is best not to feed the little Pomeranian meat, otherwise the puppy will be very difficult to digest and prone to illness. For Pomeranian puppies of this age, it is best to eat milk cakes and milk powder specially designed for puppies. Also remember not to drink milk, because if the Pomeranian’s stomach is not used to it, it will cause diarrhea.
If the puppy is really thin and you really want to feed the Pomeranian some meat, you should break up the meat a little. For ham sausage, it is best to knead it into minced meat and accompany it with rice. If it is older, you can serve it with rice and minced meat and some vegetables.
If the dog owner is feeding a Pomeranian puppy, after more than 3 months of age, rice, egg yolks, and veal pellets can be slowly fed to the Pomeranian, but it must be remembered.

1. Choose food suitable for pet dogs. For example, pet dog food, dog biscuits, dog chicken jerky and beef jerky, etc. Of course, the owner can also feed Pomeranian with DIY delicious food. Note: Other pet feeds, such as cat food, quantity, fish feed, etc. cannot be given to Pomeranian. At the same time, any food containing a lot of salt or spicy food cannot be given to Pomeranian.
2. The meat usually given to Pomeranian dogs should be cooked in clean water first, and then cut into thin strips or small pieces for Pomeranian dogs. Meat can be mixed with cooked and dried vegetables before feeding to Pomeranian. Do not add other cooking ingredients to the cooked meat, such as chili, salt, pepper, chicken essence, etc.
3. Pomeranians can eat an appropriate amount of meat every day, but they cannot eat a large amount of meat in a single or long-term manner. We know that meat is rich in protein and phosphorus, but vitamins A, D, E, iodine and calcium are relatively lacking. If a Pomeranian is fed a large amount of meat alone for a long time, it will easily cause malnutrition and nutritional imbalance, which will seriously affect the dog's body's absorption of calcium nutrition and have a great negative impact on the bone development and growth of the Pomeranian. The correct way to feed Pomeranian dogs
Pomeranian dogs need to consume more calories during their growth period than adult dogs. Under normal circumstances, adult dogs of small breeds need to consume 420 joules of energy per kilogram of body weight. That is to say, an adult dog weighing 3 kilograms must consume at least 1260 joules of energy a day. Adult dogs of large and medium-sized breeds need to consume 335 J (80 calories) of energy per kilogram of body weight. That is, a dog weighing 10 kg must consume 3350 J of energy in one day. Puppies require twice as much energy depending on the breed. In addition, we must pay attention to the balance of nutrition.
During the puppy development period, the number of feedings per day also changes with age, as follows:
Puppies aged 3 to 4 months, 3 to 4 times/day
Puppies from 6 to 8 months old, 2 to 3 times/day
After 8 months old, 2 times/day
The owner also needs to set a rough standard for the amount of food. .
How to judge whether the daily feeding is insufficient or excessive? If the amount of food is insufficient, the dog will lick up all the food and be reluctant to leave the food bowl. Then, the amount of food should be increased the next time you feed. If there is still food left in the food bowl, leave the food bowl, which means there is too much food. However, there are also times when you have poor appetite and poor physical condition. When feeding, you should only give half of the usual amount. If there is any food left, you should go Ask a doctor to check. The dog is most likely infected. It is very important to arrange the amount of food scientifically and reasonably. Sufficient amount of food can make the puppy easier to tame. On the contrary, the puppy will gradually become anxious. In addition, keeping the food bowl in front of the dog is not advisable and very unhygienic. This makes dogs susceptible to intestinal diseases, and dog diseases cannot be detected early. Generally, after 30 minutes of feeding, whether you are eating or not, you should clean the food bowl and take it out until the next feeding.
In short, the frequency, quantity, and time of feeding the dog should be as regular as possible. In this way, the dog's life rhythm can be adjusted and the dog's health status can be controlled.
