With the development and changes of society, more and more families are raising dogs. Some families are more particular about choosing suitable dog food for their dogs. Some families may give their dogs the leftover food at home during the process of raising dogs, thinking that they can not waste food, but also feed the dogs. However, based on the principle of scientific feeding, is it good for dogs to eat food that people eat for a long time? How should pet dogs be raised correctly?
1. Dogs cannot eat human food for a long time
If anyone has experience raising a dog, they should know that the foods eaten by humans contain a lot of oil, salt and even sugar. If a dog eats foods eaten for a long time, it will not only lead to malnutrition, but also cause severe hair loss. It is difficult to digest and absorb well in the pressure of the stomach and intestines, causing gastrointestinal diseases. Therefore, over time, you will become thin, have poor resistance, and are prone to illness.
2. What adverse effects does eating human food for a long time have on dogs?
First of all, the food people eat is relatively soft and it is difficult to achieve the hardness of exercising the dog's teeth. Therefore, long-term consumption will lead to dogs' teeth not being exercised, and there are a lot of food residues and not paying attention to oral cleaning and hygiene, which will lead to oral problems, serious bad breath, etc.
In addition, if a dog eats something with higher salt, it will cause severe hair loss.
At the same time, if the food is given to the dog overnight and the food is rotten and deteriorated, it will lead to indigestion, vomiting, diarrhea, even anorexia, poisoning, etc.
Finally, because human food cannot provide sufficient and balanced nutritional ingredients and substances for the dog's physical development, it will lead to excessive obesity or excessive thinness.
3. So what should you pay attention to when feeding a dog?
A. Dog food selection: If you want your dog to grow up healthily, you should choose high-quality natural dog food for your dog, preferably natural food with a slightly higher price. Such dog food does not have food additives and the raw materials are also selected with relatively high quality. Try to choose dog food with scientific nutritional formulas and has a good reputation in the market.
B. Feeding times: For puppies, try to adhere to the principle of eating less and eating more, and should be fed about 4-5 times a day. Adult dogs should be fed according to the time when people eat, and 2-3 times a day.
C. Feeding habits: If you want the dog to have a good gastrointestinal and digest and absorb well, you must have good feeding habits. Parents should not feed more when they think about it, and do not feed them if they can't remember it. This is not conducive to the dog's gastrointestinal development and physical development.
Therefore, when raising pet dogs, try to buy professional and natural dog food for the dog. Do not always use human food instead. Over time, it may have a great impact on all aspects of the dog's body.
