If a dog has a bad gastrointestinal condition, he should stop feeding the wrong food

Feed only meat for a long time

After thousands of years of domestication, dogs have changed from complete carnivores to omnivores. Not only eat meat, but also some fruits and vegetables. Some owners think that if their dog only eats meat, it will grow stronger. However, feeding dogs in this way will cause the protein to be too high, which the dog cannot digest and will suffer from diarrhea. It is recommended to feed high-quality natural dog food.

Feeding a single food for a long time

A single food should not become the staple food, such as rice, meat, etc. Years ago, when dogs were not as carefully cared for as they are today, dogs would eat whatever was available locally. In the Arctic, dogs mainly feed on fish; in the southern United States, the main food for dogs is cornbread; in Europe, it is potatoes;... A single food source makes dogs very susceptible to illness.

Feed human food high in oil and salt

Many dogs eat with their owners, and the dogs eat whatever the owners eat that day. However, the owner’s food contains too much oil and salt, which is not good for the dog’s health. If it is eaten for a long time, it will easily cause hair loss and pancreatitis. Spicy ones are especially unacceptable as they can cause gastrointestinal discomfort to dogs. Maybe you think local dogs are in good health if they are fed like this! If you're willing to risk your dog's life, then feel free.

Only feed offal and white rice

Many people like to feed their dogs offal + white rice, thinking that this combination will make the dog grow white and fat. It is true that I will gain weight in vain, but it may be due to puffiness. Regardless of whether you are a human or a dog, you cannot eat too much liver. Chicken liver or other offal is rich in phosphorus, but low in calcium. Phosphorus can inhibit the absorption of calcium. Dogs that eat liver as their main food for a long time will lead to calcium deficiency. Some dogs eat liver for a long time, causing excessive accumulation of vitamin A in the body and causing poisoning. Moreover, internal organs contain a large amount of cholesterol, which can cause excessive cholesterol in dogs.

Feed bones

Even cooked chicken bones are brittle and hard, and the bones after the dog bites them are like a sharp knife. If it is a small bone, it may scratch the esophagus as the dog tries to swallow. The bone then safely reaches the stomach, where it may nick the stomach wall if the stomach acid can't cure it. If the intestine is scratched and intestinal contents are refluxed, it is often fatal. Moreover, the calcium in the bones is not easily absorbed by the stomach, which can lead to calcification of the bones and cause indigestion, constipation or diarrhea.

Overfeeding

Puppies: Buy puppy food or milk cake, and slowly change the food, 3 or 4 meals a day, and then gradually reduce it until you reach adulthood. If you are afraid that your dog will not be able to digest it well at first, you can soak the dog food in water until soft, and then give it to your dog. Long-term dogs: Dogs need to switch to dog food when they reach adulthood. At this time, the nutrients they need are no longer as big as the puppies. If you still feed them puppy food, they will not be able to digest it, and they will even become fatter as they eat. . Senior dogs: Senior dogs mainly eat senior dog food.Lord, don’t give your dog food that is too difficult to digest.

Feeding too many snacks

Excessive snacks will make dogs picky eaters, turning into a vicious cycle of only eating snacks and not dog food. Generally speaking, your dog’s snacks should not exceed 10% of their daily food intake. If you want to give snacks to your dog during dog training, cut the snacks into ribbons at the end to prevent your dog from eating too much. The best way is to reduce the amount of dog food that day if you feed snacks.
