Many people feed the puppies as soon as they buy them. If they are not careful, many things will happen. I have a friend who just bought a puppy a few days ago. Because he did not pay attention to the feeding, the dog died a few days later. I was sad for a long time. Now I am in a state where I have always wanted to get a dog but I don’t dare to get one! In fact, there are some things to pay attention to in the early stages of feeding a dog. The editor will explain them one by one for you below!

At the beginning of feeding, give it plenty of food, but don’t let it eat until the feeding time. Wash utensils every day and continue to provide them with enough clean water. When feeding smaller puppies or toy dogs, the food must be mixed with water to soften before feeding. If you are feeding professional dry dog ​​food or canned dog food, please follow the instructions on the product packaging.

1. Do not give puppies the opportunity to swallow chicken bones, ribs or fish bones, because they will stay in the throat and then break into pieces. If they are not left in the throat, they will slip into the body and pierce the stomach wall and intestines.

2. Don’t let puppies eat people’s leftovers, because dogs have different nutritional needs from humans. If you use human recipes to prepare dog food, it will not only be time-consuming and labor-intensive, but it will also be difficult for your dog to absorb complete and balanced nutrition.

3. Do not give snacks to the puppy between each meal. If it obeys other training, you can give it a few snacks to show encouragement.

4. Remember not to let puppies eat at the table, as this will develop a bad habit of begging for food. Specific foods can only be fed at designated times and places. Food can only be placed in the puppy's bowl and cannot be fed with other food utensils. In addition to this, don’t forget to provide your dog with plenty of clean water.

Notes

Dry dog ​​food should not be mixed with milk, but with water. When puppies are six to eight weeks old, most pet owners and veterinarians disapprove of putting milk in their food because drinking too much milk can cause diarrhea and digestive problems.
