How do you know if a dog is full?
Generally speaking, the degree of satiety or hunger can be seen from the performance of a dog’s food intake. If the dog eats food quickly and swallows with a big mouth, it means that there is no problem with appetite; after eating, there is still feed left in the food bowl, which means that it has been fed too much and may be oversatisfied.
If the dog continues to lick with its tongue on the empty food bowl, or looks at the owner expectantly, it means that it is not full. It is not advisable to overfeed puppies, and it is best to be 70% to 80% full. In addition, since the gastrointestinal tract of puppies is still in the process of development, more attention should be paid to hygiene to prevent gastrointestinal diseases.
In terms of feeding and management, puppies need more energy than adult dogs, especially to prevent a few puppies from overeating, so that other puppies can’t eat enough. The daily food intake of each dog should depend on the size of the dog, which depends on the observation of the breeder.
