Types of food to feed your Castro
1. Food preparation
Principle: “Meat and Vegetables”
(1) Meat is indispensable, slightly cooked
(2) Never give meat only, which can lead to an imbalance of acidity in the dog’s body
Performance:The dog suddenly likes to wander in front of the feces or eat grass abnormally.
Solution: Add trace amounts of sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) to drinking water or add enough plant-based ingredients to recipes.
Dogs’ intestines are not well suited to digesting fiber-rich plants, so use roots and tubers like carrots, potatoes, and groundnuts
(3) Using only cereals (rice, porridge, dumplings, etc.) as food: the actual calorific value of absorbed nutrients is insufficient
Solution: Use meat soup with grains
Regular supplements of calcium and yeast to aid digestion
Periodic administration of fats, egg yolks and trace amounts of salt
(4) Don’t feed unusual things like.
Mollusks and Crustaceans of the Deep Sea.
Octopus, squid, squid, shrimp, crab, shellfish, and all kinds of fish are also kept to a minimum
Vegetables with a pungent flavor: onions, chili peppers, peppers, leeks, garlic
Foods that are too hot or too cold.
Cold milk (causes diarrhea) Ideal temperature is close to the dog’s body temperature
Condiments: sugar, soy sauce, mustard, too much salt
Chocolate, cream cakes, fried foods and most leftovers
(5) Handling food
Any long animal bone thinner than a pencil (e.g., chicken bone, rabbit tibia, fish bone)
No food at all.
Fiber-rich foods should be well chopped and mashed
Large pieces of food should be cut into smaller pieces
Avoid unclean and spoiled foods
(6) Don’t feed your dog with food from the table, as it will develop a habit of begging for food, which will lead to picky eating.
Condiments can impair a dog’s appetite
(7) Food preparation process notes.
Cook the pasta separately from the meat and vegetables, and mix it later.
Maintaining nutrition as the main focus, with taste as a secondary concern
Don’t wash the rice too much, don’t cook the meat too much
Feed now, don’t leave it too long
Use a little salt, avoid flavoring, and especially abstain from sugar.
