Dogs and children can start eating dog food after being weaned for a full month. Only puppy food is the best for puppy food. The nutrients required are relatively balanced, and it is best to eat wet dog food, or wet the dry dog food tap water before giving it to the dog. How to soak the young dog food?
1. For dogs under 36 months, the method of soaking dog food is given:
2. Temperature: about 40-70 degrees of warm boiled water, but the water must be warm boiled water that is cooled after boiling in advance (prevent the boiling water from causing the nutrients in dog food to flow out, and boiling water is very easy to burn the dog);
3. Water flow: The standard is that the dog food can be digested and absorbed, so that the dog food after soaking can be digested and absorbed, so that there is no need to throw away unnecessary water and some nutrients are missing;
4. Time: Soak until the dog food is relaxed (soaked soft); the solubility of each dog food is different, so the soaking time will be different. Generally, boiling water is about 60 degrees and it takes 20 minutes. At this time, the temperature is about 30 degrees, which is just enough to try feeding.
Notes:
How many dogs do they need to eat soaked dog food?
Usually, most dogs have teeth and can only eat hard dog food. Small dogs such as Chihuahua can only eat without soaking for about 26 months;
Medium and large dogs can usually gradually become soft after 36 months, and 46 months are too much hard dog food.
The other ones are not cleared due to differences in dogs, and some dogs will stop eating soft dog food for longer.
In other words, just let the dog's gastrointestinal changes come back smoothly; hard dog food is more beneficial to dog's front teeth, and strength may be very beneficial to oral health. It can prevent the occurrence of dental diseases such as bad breath and gingivitis in dogs, and can also reduce discomfort during teething at a necessary level.
