How much dog food should a 2-month-old puppy eat?

The food intake of a 2-month-old puppy is related to its weight, age and other factors. The older the bichon is in age and weight, the greater its food intake will be. Under normal circumstances, a 2-month-old dog eats about 30 pieces of dog food at a time. The specific feeding amount needs to be judged based on the actual situation. Puppies must be fed according to the principle of small meals and frequent meals, 3-4 meals a day, and no more than 5 meals at most. The amount of dog food for each meal can be added according to the recommended feeding amount on the special dog food. You can feel the Bichon Frize's belly to determine if the dog is full, and then make adjustments.

How to judge whether a 2-month-old puppy is full

1. Touching method

Of course, the place you touch is the dog’s abdomen. Wait every time After he finished eating, he touched his belly with his hand.
How to judge:
a. The dog’s belly is full, which means the food is just right;
b. The dog’s belly is a little flat, which means it is not full yet;
c. The dog’s abdomen is severely bulging, which means the dog has eaten too much.
According to the touching situation, you can then reasonably adjust the dog’s future diet.

2. Observation method

a. If the dog is still uneasy, looks unhappy, and circles around you after eating, it means that you may not have put enough food.
b. If it looks very satisfied after eating, wipes its face by itself, and waddles aside to rest or play, it means it is full.
c. In addition, if the dog hides food, it indicates that there is excess food and the owner needs to pay attention to it.

Precautions for feeding 2-month-old puppies

1. Feed puppies with small amounts and frequent meals. Dog food for 2-month-old puppies needs to be soaked and rationed each time. Remember not to eat too much. Puppies don’t know when they are hungry or full. Because the digestive system is not fully developed, eating too much will cause diarrhea. After having diarrhea, your physical condition becomes worse and you are more likely to get sick.
2. Make sure the dog has enough water to drink. Puppies are very naughty, so when buying a water basin, please choose a "buckle-type" water basin that cannot be easily knocked over.
3. Don’t give puppies food eaten by humans. Especially: sausages, leftover rice.
4. When the puppy is first brought into your home, please do not bathe it immediately. Do not wash them for at least 7-15 days. Dogs will have a stress response in a new environment and are prone to illness, allowing germs to take advantage of them.
5. Vaccinate your dog well. Do not take your dog outdoors to play or interact with other dogs before vaccination.
6. Pay more attention to whether the dog's nose is dry, whether the stool is dry and formed, whether the dog has loose stools, etc. These are all indicators of the dog's health.
