Feeding of the Puppy

The puppy requires some cares in the feeding different to those of the mature dog, especially if we keep in mind that he must still form and there is a limited number of months to carry out, in a correct way, the bony grow, for that reason we will administer calcium with vitamins that facilitate his assimilation in the foods; it will be convenient that we carry out a visit to the veterinarian with object that he guides a balanced feeding and a series of restorative that, in accordance with their stature, size they should reach and conditions matters in that he is, should take in a proportion or another. Dog Health, let us not have the habit of asking the class of medications that other dogs take, even if they have the same deficiencies or suffer similar ailments to those of our puppy; we should also keep in mind that the same illness cannot be combated with the same systems of another one.

A detail that we should not neglect it is the regularity in the foods. The same as the children, it is very convenient to maintain order in the foods of the puppy; until the three months they will need to eat up to three times a day. To advance or to put back the foods can bring diverse disorders of the stomach that can be very harmful for the health and assimilation of the puppy when it arrives the hour to eat, he begins to segregate in the stomach the denominated gastric juices, which even take place with more intensity when it exists a visual stimulation, if segregated the gastric juice and doesn't eat, the excess of liquidate that it is not used in the stomach will produce an excessive acidity. The reiteration of irregularities of this kind will produce a lack of assimilation of the allowances, as well as the possibility that gastritis takes place that can end up being chronic. The class of food that the puppy will take from the second to the third month, will consist on something of milk (preferably powdered milk) with some bread, if one prefers, it can be included the calcium here when the veterinarian has prescribed it; this food will be the one that will receive in the morning at first hour, that is to say, when we wake up.

Then, toward the noon, he will be given their portion of raw chopped meat and blended with rice and once a week it could be substituted by pasta with meat. It is very convenient to mix well the meat with the rice or the pasta, with object that he doesn't go choosing a thing and leaving the other. The water should never lack. When the dog is very small, in case there are several rooms, let us have the caution of having water in each room; he may, inadvertently, be isolated in a room and remain many hours without water. The evening food will be identical to the one of noon. The quantity, difficult to specify for the fact that one ignores the size of the dog, it should be something superior to the one he usually eats; have in mind that a obese puppy doesn't represent to be a problem in any aspect apart from that if he has some problem of diarrhea he became dehydrated quickly a good weight is good for him as safety measure to be able to resist before any illness. It should not be administered, products that contain a lot of fat.
