Many people nowadays sometimes feel lonely, so many people like to have a cute puppy or kitten to keep them company. But preparing for a pet can be a bit of a hassle, and many people don’t know how to solve the problems that arise in pet ownership. When the pet is sick, some people will choose to abandon it. Today, I’m going to introduce a problem that newbies generally don’t grasp when raising a Border Collie, and that is how much dog food should be fed to the Border Collie in a day.
The Border Collie is recognized as the dog with the highest IQ in the world. Its feeding is also divided into age stages. Before the Border Collie is weaned, we do not have to worry at all because there is a mother dog who will take care of it, and the Border Collie on the market is usually weaned. After the puppy is weaned, it can eat special puppy food, this time the owner must pay attention to the puppy’s digestive ability is not perfect, so the dog food should be fully softened, once about seven or eight grains, divided into three to four times a day.
By the time the Border Collie is eight months old, the dog has grown to be about the same size as an adult Border Collie, and the stomach capacity has increased. At this time we can reduce the frequency of feeding to about twice a day. The Border Collie is not a picky eater and is not much different from other dogs when it comes to feeding. Adult dogs are also fed twice a day, but in moderation. It is best to feed your dog after a forty-minute walk, and it is enough to let him eat seven or eight percent in order to keep him healthy.
The adult Border Collie is fed twice a day, so how should we control the amount of food it eats? And what are the techniques? I have a very simple method here, that is to look at the dog’s feces, we must not have a heart burden. The dog’s feces is one of the most reflective ways of the dog’s physical condition. If the feces is striped, soft and hard is the right amount of food just right. If the stool is soft, so soft that you can’t even pick it up with a dog poop holder, it means that the dog is eating too much and needs to be reduced. If the poop is too hard, it means that the dog is not eating enough and needs to be fed properly. This way is more accurate, you can try it.
