How much is appropriate to eat

Feed your dog only seventy percent full. Don’t overdo it. Let it lick the bowl with satisfaction. If you eat too much and run and jump after the meal, it will be easy to vomit it out intact. For puppies kept in cages all year round, eating is their rare entertainment, so they will be as greedy as a starving ghost. Don't be fooled by them into thinking they are really hungry. But a dog that always eats not enough, does not move much, and has poor excretion may be really sick, and it is best to take it to see a doctor. When changing your dog's food, don't change it all at once. Mix in half of the new food each time, try it for two or three days, gradually increase the new amount, and then use the new food after a week. Only in this way can the dog's digestive system adapt, otherwise it will be prone to diarrhea. Many people think that dogs just want to chew bones. In fact, chewing bones can easily block the dog's intestines, make it constipated, cause vomiting and reduce appetite. In particular, avoid chicken bones, as they are small and brittle and can easily clog the esophagus and pierce the gastrointestinal tract. When feeding, be sure to give plenty of water at the same time. There is no need to use distilled or boiled water, as their intestines and stomach do not care about these.
