Just bought a new puppy or dog in your home, now the quandary arises what and how to feed it? Dogs need proper nutrition to keep them healthy and happy just akin to humans. To feed your pooches in a right manner just follow the top seven rules: # Feed at least twice a day
A growing dog needs to be fed two times in a day; however puppies eat smaller portions and need to be fed four times in a day. Larger portions should be avoided if dog is suffering from gastro intestinal problems, as feeding larger portions once in a day mounts the danger of bloat. It is better to feed less food more frequently in a day as an alternative of two larger meals. # Give normal temperature food to your dog
When you are giving kibbles to eat then it is not a quandary, but in case of meat or fish you stores in the refrigerator, you are required to aware yourself to keep it out for few minutes to get it to the normal room temperature. Feeding cold food to the dog may result in some stomach issues such as vomiting and some more. If you have freezing meat it is feasible to defrost it for almost about three hours at normal temperature and always remember to not to use a microwave to thaw it, as this might eliminate the nutritional sources of the food. # feed the same dog food daily
Though we like making variations in our meals, but a dog cannot handle variations in food. However, exceptions are always there but whenever you want to change the food of your dog, you should always attempt this gradually so that the intestinal of dog does not get disturbed. Always remember that changing food at once may affect the stomach causing diarrhea. # Adequate water
Provide a bowl of water for your pooch all the time, to avoid dehydration which could cause other problems. # Keep hygiene
Clean the bowl of your dog every time after the meal, and hygiene is specifically important while giving your dog a meat diet. Make sure to clean wherever dog is eating. Take care that the dog doesn’t pull the meat all over the house, to prevent your family with from bacterial infection like campylobacter, E.coli and salmonella. # Time for feed your dog Some people think that you must feed your dog at same time daily, but the fact is that a dog never commits a particular time, don’t over hype if your dog doest not get the meal at the same time he got the previous day. Adult dogs can easily be benefited from one day of fasting once in seven days. This imitates their natural eating pattern. Though, fasting is not compulsory and should be ignored when your pup is underweight or small. # Avert swallowing manners make sure
If your dog finishes his food in seconds, he may ingest air as well with his food which can upset the digestive system and stomach pain may also take place. Hence, you can search out for special dog food that contains some obstreperous elements to ensure that the dog is not eating at a fast speed. And if, you notice that, dog is eating fast to compete with rest of the dogs, then feed them in detached rooms. Furthermore, just use your common sense while feeding a dog and your dog will do perfectly fine.
