Many dog ​​owners have been paying attention to an issue. How many meals a day is the best for dogs? There are different opinions. They all say that dogs should not eat too much. Eating too much is bad for digestion and digestion, but they cannot bear to see their babies hungry. . So, how many meals a day is reasonable for a dog to eat?

For newborn puppies, we don’t have to worry about their feeding, because the mother will take good care of them. By one and a half to two months, the mother dog's milk can no longer satisfy the appetite of the puppies. You will see the puppies always surrounding their mother, while the mother dog always looks at them helplessly. Moreover, the puppies at this time have already grown many small fangs, and feeding the puppies has become a more painful task for the dog mother. At this time, it is necessary to add some food to the puppy appropriately. Soak the dog food with washed milk powder and feed it to the puppy. Be sure to use milk powder, because the bag milk or fresh milk we drink contains too much fat, and the puppy will have diarrhea after drinking it. If the mother dog still feeds the puppies every day, she should eat two to three times a day. As the mother dog feeds less and less, it should be increased to four times a day. That is once every six hours. It’s easy to tell whether your puppy is hungry. They bark when they're hungry and look for food, so you don't need an alarm clock to get up at five in the morning to feed them. That’s the price you pay for raising a puppy.

Puppies from three months to five or six months can basically be fed three times a day, that is, three times in the morning, noon and evening. Pay attention to the time intervals as evenly as possible so that they can develop the habit of eating at regular intervals. Puppies usually poop after eating, so when you prepare a meal for them and watch them gobble it up, you should be prepared to collect the poop. It's easy to tell whether a puppy that doesn't know when it's hungry or full has eaten too much. All you need to do is look at their poop. Normal poop is a little soft but shaped (don’t find it disgusting, observing the dog’s poop is an important part of the work of dog parents). It should not be sticky or have the original shape of the food. If it is small If your dog’s feces is soft, shapeless, and even contains undigested food, it is obvious that they have been fed too much, and you should try to reduce the food for them. At this time, hold on and don’t be fooled by their pitiful little eyes.

After the puppy is six months old, if your puppy is growing well, you can gradually change its meal to two meals a day, that is, one meal in the morning and one in the evening. By eating at regular intervals and going out for regular walks, the dog will develop the habit of not excreting at home, which will save a lot of trouble for parents.

As for adult dogs, there are different opinions on how many meals a day they should eat. One is one meal a day, the other is two meals a day. There are different opinions on the pros and cons of the two feeding methods. The editor personally thinks that two meals a day is healthier, and my dog ​​has always adopted this method. Because I think it is too cruel to feed a dog only one meal 24 hours a day, and the dog is hungry for too long during the day. During this time, it will often ask you for food, such as meat. Dry, biscuits and evenIt will continue to eat a lot of what humans eat, which is actually more detrimental to the dog's health. One full meal plus numerous snacks is definitely not as healthy as two full meals with a few snacks. In addition, if you ensure that the dog only eats one meal a day without any other snacks, the dog's blood sugar will change greatly throughout the day. When hungry, the blood sugar will be very low, and after eating, the blood sugar will rise again. Adding too much is also extremely detrimental to the dog’s health.
