Nutrition requirements of developing dogs
1, Provide more calcium for dogs
The dog is born about 3 months and reaches the bone development period. During this period, the dog’s bone growth and development needs a lot of calcium to maintain. If the owner needs the puppy to grow taller, it must be supplemented with sufficient calcium when the dog is young. The owner can supply calcium to the dog by feeding it calcium-rich food, such as shrimp skin, seaweed powder, tofu and other foods. Seafood and soy products contain relatively more calcium, which is added to the dog’s diet every day. Just add the right amount.
2. Supplement protein for dogs
Dogs need a lot of calcium for growth and development, as well as sufficient protein and other nutrients. Owners can supplement their dogs with protein by feeding them high-protein foods such as beef and chicken breasts. Alternatively, you can supplement your puppy with puppy-specific food. In any case, the owner must ensure that the dog receives adequate nutrition on a daily basis.
3. Appropriately let the dog exercise.
For the healthy growth of the dog, in addition to meeting the nutritional needs of the puppy’s growth and development, the owner should also pay attention to allowing the dog to exercise properly. If the dog just supplements nutrition without exercising, it will only make the dog puffy, not let it grow, and the excess nutrition is not good for the dog’s bone development. Therefore, pet owners should pay attention to the combination of nutritional supplements and exercise, and let the dog exercise properly every day to avoid dog obesity. In addition, the dog’s daily exercise will also help the stretching and development of its bones, and the dog’s skeleton can only become larger after exercise, so as to grow taller.
Tips: Calcium deficiency in puppies will not only affect their growth, but also cause their bones to swell and deform, slow tooth growth, decreased appetite, and limb weakness and other symptoms, so calcium deficiency is very harmful to dogs. In addition, the lack of other essential nutrients will also have different effects on the dog, so pet owners must pay attention to maintaining a balanced nutrition in the dog’s body, which can reduce the dog’s illness to a certain extent.
