No matter what kind of dog you are a parent, the most concerning issue should be your dog’s diet. Diet is how your dog obtains energy. So when feeding a Maltese dog, what should you pay attention to in the dog’s diet?

There are many things that Maltese dogs can eat in life, but there are also many things that cannot be eaten. This requires parents to pay more attention in this regard and try to prevent dogs from eating these foods in life. For the health of dogs, parents must work harder!

First, raw or cooked liver cannot be given to Maltese dogs in large amounts. In fact, a moderate amount of liver is very good for dogs. This kind of food has a unique fishy smell that is suitable for dogs. At the same time, it is rich in nutrients and is excellent for dogs’ bodies. However, if you feed a large amount to Maltese dogs, it can easily lead to vitamin A poisoning or cause the dog to become obese, which is not beneficial to health.

Second, chocolate-like foods containing theobromine and caffeine cannot be given to Maltese dogs. Because theobromine reduces blood flow to the brain in animals, it may cause heart disease and other potentially fatal problems. This has a great impact on the dog's health.

Third, onions, scallions, garlic, ginger and other foods cannot be given to dogs. Research has found that onions and scallions, whether raw or cooked, contain disulfides, which can easily cause oxidation of red blood cells in dogs and may cause hemolytic anemia.

Fourth, poultry such as chickens, ducks, fish, and hollow and sharp bones are not suitable for Maltese dogs to eat. These small and sharp bones are not conducive to dogs chewing, and they can easily puncture the mouth and nick the intestines and stomach. In severe cases, they can cause gastrointestinal bleeding and endanger the dog's life.

In addition, milk can easily cause lactose intolerance in dogs, as well as raw meat, frozen seafood, ice cream, grapes and raisins, fruits containing fruit pits, etc. (Dogs’ stomachs cannot easily digest fruit pits, which can easily increase gastrointestinal burden. At the same time, some Fruit pits are highly toxic to dogs), do not give this type of food to Maltese dogs blindly or casually.

It seems that there is still a lot of knowledge about dog diet, which requires parents to pay more attention in normal times. For the health of dogs, let’s work together!
