For every dog ​​mother and cat mother, the problem of picky pets may be as troublesome as picky eaters of children. What we often see is that pet mothers spread their hands, and then say: I also know that it is not good to let them eat human food! But it just won’t eat the feed!

In order to avoid the problem of picky eaters in dogs and cats, pets must be trained to develop stable dining habits from an early age. The frequency of meals is recommended to be four times a day for three months, three times a day for three to eight months, and twice a day for eight months and above. If you don’t want your pet to be interested only in fragrant food, you should let your pet take feed as the only staple food at meals from an early age. During meals, let your dog develop the habit of concentrating on eating. If the meal is not finished within thirty minutes, it will be removed. Put the feed away and wait until the next meal time to provide it; don't let your dog develop the bad habit of eating whenever he wants and having to eat later if he doesn't want to.

Many people believe that letting dogs chew bones can not only grind their teeth, but also make them enjoy chewing. However, dog mothers should note that chicken bones are definitely not suitable for dogs to chew. The structure of chicken bones is hollow, unlike solid pig bones or beef bones, which will become granular after being chewed. The broken chicken bones are like sharp blades. If swallowed into the dog's gastrointestinal tract, it may scratch or even puncture the gastrointestinal tract. When a dog bleeds from its gastrointestinal tract, symptoms such as bloody stools, diarrhea, and vomiting will occur. In severe cases, surgical removal is required. Especially small dogs need special attention.
