Why not suggest feeding leftovers? You can look at my dog who has been feeding leftovers for two years.
The dog has been feeding at home for two years and has been eating leftovers. It’s a string dog. Although it’s not as good as a garden dog, it’s better than many pet dogs.
When I was young, I was still very lively, and my tears were not obvious. But when I grew up, my tears became much worse. Later, I died of epilepsy. I was treated for a month at the beginning when I was sick, and I took medicine to hang water. I was sick once a month, foaming at the mouth, shaking all over, and once in the next few days. I really looked so distressed.
Diet is the whole source of nutrition for dogs. If it is not properly fed, it is likely to cause hidden dangers. Because the dog can’t talk, he can only hum a few words when he is uncomfortable, but in fact, his character has changed from lively to quiet at that time, and I blame him for not seeing it.
1. How to feed correctly
Homemade dog food (supermarket dog food) > raw meat > dog food > leftovers
Leftovers and supermarket dog food are absolutely not recommended.) At present, this ranking is generally considered as the optimal solution in dog circles.
① Dogs are carnivorous omnivores, lacking enzymes to decompose carbohydrates, so the more meat you eat, the better.
② There are many condiments in human food, which will stimulate the gastrointestinal tract of dogs, leading to loss of appetite. Too high salt content will also make dogs sound addicted to drinking, diarrhea and hair loss.
3 dogs eat leftovers just like children eat sugar, but sugar can’t be eaten as a meal. It’s one thing to be delicious and like to eat, but whether it can be used as a staple food is another matter.
(4) High-temperature baking will lose nutrients in food, so the simpler the processing process, the better.
⑤ Supermarket dog food, like a certain road, has high allergens in the first place. At best, it can only satisfy the dog’s food and clothing, but the nutrition is too lacking.
However, it doesn’t mean that everyone should choose in this order. After all, every dog owner has different economic conditions and different time.
1. Homemade dog rice
Advantages:
Hand-picked fresh ingredients of human consumption level are more reassuring than dog food that doesn’t know the production process.
Tailor-made diet and homemade meals can provide dogs with a scientific and applicable diet.
It tastes good, especially for some elderly dogs whose appetite has decreased due to illness or age. Self-made dog rice is their best choice.
Economical and practical, compared with high-quality natural whole grain, homemade dog food can be better, because there is no factory processing, transportation, marketing and other links, and the price of a bag of 20kg dog food can completely cover the dog’s feeding cost for one month.
Healthy, water-rich natural meals are easier to digest, increase gastrointestinal activity and improve immunity.
disadvantage
First, it will lead to obesity. Most homemade foods contain too much meat, too much protein, too high fat and too much carbohydrate, which will easily cause health problems for dogs. For example, if the protein is too high, it will have hidden dangers to the kidneys, and if the fat is too high, it will cause obesity in dogs.
Second, it causes oral problems. Because homemade food is wet food, it is not good for dogs’ teeth, and the incidence of oral diseases caused by teeth becomes higher. If you eat dry dog food, you can also grind your teeth for your dog, which will be better for its mouth.
Third, the lack of trace elements, the proportion of phosphorus and calcium in homemade food is very unbalanced, and it is easy to be too much or lacking, which is a potential killer of chronic diseases of pets. The lack of vitamins and trace elements can not meet the nutritional needs of pets.
Step 2 give birth to flesh and blood
Advantages:
The digestibility of pure meat is high (reflected in the dry and hard stool, light or even no odor, no puffiness without fat, and the intestines and stomach are well conditioned)
abundant water
Without baking, the retention rate of nutrients in food is extremely high (the effect is obvious in hair quality and sports activity)
The taste is more in line with the natural diet requirements of canines.
Disadvantages:
Processing is troublesome (in addition to buying meat grinder and plastic packaging machine, you also need sub-packaging bags and refrigerators large enough or even freezers to freeze the prepared raw meat and raw materials. It takes about 6-8 hours to make 10kg raw meat and the whole process is bloody)
Storage trouble (as mentioned above, all raw bones should be frozen and naturally thawed before feeding, and many people have no time to have breakfast themselves. Of course, they rarely have time to defrost, and the thawing time should be properly controlled. Dogs will eat bad if it is too cold, and meat may go bad if it is too warm)
Feeding is troublesome (not only should the thawing temperature be just right, raw meat and bones can’t be kept like dog food all the time, usually the dog has to take it away before eating it within 1-2 hours, otherwise it will easily spoil the dog’s stomach)
High sanitary conditions are required (although freezing for more than 7 days can kill most of the parasitic afterbirth, so there is no need to worry about parasitic problems, there is still a risk of bacterial infection in the production process. Even if the ph value of cat’s stomach acid is less than 1.5, it is stronger than the sterilization ability of your detergent, but the production environment, knife, meat grinder, chopping board, etc. all need strict cleaning and sterilization operations)
