Raising golden retrievers
Golden retrievers are very smart and naughty, they can be said to be pets An evergreen tree in the world, loved by many people. However, when it comes to how to raise golden retrievers, many owners will fall into misunderstandings, leading their golden retrievers to become fat or even sick. Therefore, we need to take a look at the common breeding mistakes, raise golden retrievers scientifically, and let them grow healthily.
1. If you eat quickly, you must be hungry. One of the common misunderstandings is that although dogs have been domesticated by humans for many years, many artificial habits have not been abandoned. Regardless of whether dogs are hungry or not, they eat very quickly. In the wilderness, if you cannot finish your food quickly, you will be robbed, and you will be forced to eat faster due to pressure. So even if they become pet dogs, they still maintain this habit. Even when they have eaten enough, they still eat very quickly, so don't think that they are still hungry at this time and continue to feed.
2. Being able to eat is a sign of health. Many owners believe that dogs will grow strong and healthy if they eat. Originally this concept would lead to many diseases in dogs. In puppyhood, excessive feeding can lead to abnormal skeleton development; in adult age, excessive feeding can lead to obesity, leading to heart disease, diabetes and many other diseases, which is also a major threat to dog health.
3. Dogs will control their own food intake. Occasionally, just to be lazy, owners will put a large amount of food in the dog's rice bowl at once. I think that if the dog eats too much, he will stop eating more. It turns out that dogs do not control their own food intake, especially puppies. By the time it stops eating, it means it has eaten too much, which can lead to vomiting, diarrhea, and even serious gastrointestinal diseases.
4. How much should a golden retriever eat? We have two reference standards. The first is the recommended feeding amount on the dog food package. You can gradually find the best feeding amount according to the recommendations and your own dog's situation. Secondly, the owner needs to spend more time. If most dogs still look thoughtful after eating and are circling around you, it may mean that they still don’t want to eat. If it is satisfied after eating, runs to the side to play with its head and tail, or rests, it proves that it has eaten to its fullest, and the owner can rest assured. And if the dog hides from food, it will prove that the dog is overfed and should pay attention to the food intake.
Among the diseases suffered by golden retriever puppies, digestive system diseases have always ranked first. Owners often think that feeding more is a blessing, but in fact this is what harms the dogs. Therefore, scientific feeding is very important.
