Dogs
As the seasons change, dogs have different needs for calories. When raising dogs indoors and outdoors, dogs have less heat needs in the summer and more in the winter. Don’t just feed the same kind of food throughout the year, but change the food according to the season and body conditions, so as to ensure the healthy growth of your dog.
The food intake during the beginning of warming is 10% smaller than that in winter (Spring)
After winter, too many calories are no longer needed, but the dog’s appetite will not drop suddenly, so be careful not to let it eat too much.
Snacks are the foundation of fattening. If you want to give snacks to your dog, you can only feed them meat and the like, and they should be regarded as part of the food intake. Food intake should also be reduced to 90% of winter food intake.
As the temperature and humidity decrease, food is prone to mold. It should be stored in a sealed container and stored in a breathable place.
When appetite decreases, always measure body weight (summer)
Dogs are very afraid of heat, and their appetite will decrease in summer. This is to reduce fat. It’s a normal mental state to get through the heat, so there’s no need to worry.
However, the dog’s body weight should be weighed once a month. If the body weight decreases by 10%, it proves that there is something wrong with his body.
If your dog’s appetite is still strong in summer, you must prevent it from gaining weight. A sudden reduction in food intake will make it very anxious, so mixing in low-calorie food can be a good way to control food intake properly.
Prevent obesity during the season when appetite is strong (autumn)
Not only humans, but dogs also have a strong appetite in autumn. This is to prepare for winter And the normal psychological situation of storing subcutaneous fat. If you eat too much, you will still gain weight. If the dog's body weight increases sharply and its fat can be directly felt, it should be lost weight immediately. There is no need to reduce food intake when losing weight. As long as you mix some cabbage into dog food, you can transform high-calorie foods into low-calorie foods.
When the weather is good, let it dry a lot, which will also help prevent its obesity.
Pay attention to supplementing water when the appetite is strong (winter)
In winter, a large amount of subcutaneous fat accumulates to maintain body temperature. The puppy’s appetite is extremely strong, coupled with the amount of exercise It also decreases, so its food intake should be gradually reduced.
