Pomeranian is a small dog, many people like Pomeranian, but for the knowledge of feeding Pomeranian, I believe there are many owners are not clear. So, what knowledge points do you need to know about feeding Pomeranians?

                 

1. Types of dog food

There are two main categories of dog food: dry food and canned food, and another category of snacks such as large cookies, deodorized cookies, beef jerky, and so on. The main nutrients of various brands are similar, and those that are sold at a higher price have special food formulas for various ages and breeds with different considerations, so you can compare them beforehand. Let your dog eat the dog food that suits its age. Puppy to eat puppy, adult dog to eat adult dog, old dog to eat old dog, fat dog to eat fat dog, do not confuse, lest too fat or thin. The nutritional composition of dry food is more stable and average. Dogs from chewing, can by the way clean up dental calculus, stop itching. However, if you have problems with urinary stones, try to avoid eating dry food, unless that is a prescription feed for stones. The nutritional content of canned food varies according to price. High-priced canned food is made of better materials; low-priced canned food is mostly a lot of unchurned offal, with the advantage of less loss of vitamins and better palatability, but the disadvantage is that it is full of meat, and the odor in the feces is stronger, which makes it easy to grow calculus after eating it for a long time. Dry food is not as tasty as canned food, but it is easy to digest and absorb, and the bowel movement is not so smelly.

Snacks can be used as prizes for when your dog gets it right during life training and basic training. People eat snacks do not often give the dog to eat, easy to spoil its appetite. Chewing gum, ice cream, cake, these desserts less touch is better, on the one hand, easy to tooth decay. Haunted stomach, on the one hand, but also easy to get fat. After eating too much sweet, the biggest problem is that it causes the dog to have no appetite for the main meal.

                  

2. Different weights for different types of dogs

When a puppy is born, it eats mother’s milk; when it is weaned when it is teething, you can start feeding it fluid food, canned meat with warm boiled water to make a paste, or young large dry food softened with hot water. When it reaches two months old, it can start to eat young large dog food.

Large dogs are big and grow fast, so add some to your regular meals!

Calcium powder and other nutritional supplements must be taken according to the doctor’s instructions and the recommendations of the manual. Some people raise large fighting dogs and like to feed them raw meat to get them used to blood, which is very dangerous; because uncooked meat is dangerous. Secondly, after getting used to eating raw meat, when the owner forgets to feed them or abandons them, they may endanger people. Many incidents of dogs attacking people have been attributed to this.

          

3. Frequency and timing of feeding

The number of feedings per day is as follows: After weaning to three months old: three to four times Three to six months old: two to three times Six months to one year old: two times One year old and above: one or two times Feeding time can be adjusted to fit in with your work schedule, but it is not just a matter of feeding, you should also consider to add the time for walking the dog, pooping and peeing, emptying the potty, and washing the dishes after meals. Wash the bowl immediately after the meal so that the residue doesn’t attract mice, cockroaches or ants, or so that too much food is left to rot in the sun and rain. At the same time, remove the bowl so that it will not get bored and play with it or even chew it. As for how much to feed, usually follow the instructions and then adjust according to whether there are any leftovers from the last meal.

4. Considerations for buying imported food

When buying imported food, as far as possible, look for Chinese instructions, and with the line number of the importer’s phone number. Because the canned food across the ocean may be more than the expiration date, if there is a strange smell, mold. If there is any odor, mold, moisture, insects, immediately ask the boss to return, do not have to be polite. After opening, it must be properly preserved, cans should be put in the refrigerator, dry food should be sealed. The first time you buy, do not buy too much, you can buy a small amount of two or three, to see how the puppy reacts after eating; including palatability. The degree of digestion and absorption, and the shape of the feces. Every breed says their product is the best, cheap and big bowl, so you may want to consult your doctor and someone with experience.

5. How much is the right amount to eat

Give your dog a meal as long as seven minutes full, do not overdo it, let it lick the bowl licked with intent; eat most of them plus running and jumping after the meal, it is easy to spit it out as it is. Year-round shut in the cage of the puppy, eating is one of the few entertainment they have, so it will be like a starving ghost general gluttony, don’t be fooled by them, think really hungry. But a dog that never eats enough, is not very active, and has poor defecation may be really sick, so it’s best to take it to the doctor. When you want to change the food for your dog, don’t change all the food at once, mix half of the new food every time, try for two or three days, gradually increase the amount of new food, and then use all the new food after a week. So that the dog’s digestive system can adapt to it, otherwise it is easy to dysentery. Many people think that dogs just want to chew bones, but in fact, chewing bones will easily block the dog’s intestinal tract, making it constipated, resulting in vomiting and poor appetite.
