It is not good for dogs to eat salt, so don’t add salt to their food

Some people have heard that it is not good for dogs to eat too much salt, so they plan not to give salt to Bichon Frize dogs. In fact, this concept is wrong. Feeding a Bichon Frize dog salty food for a long time will irritate the dog's stomach and kidneys, but if the food given to the dog does not contain enough salt, it will also cause a decrease in its physical strength. Salt contains a small amount of magnesium and calcium, which are indispensable substances for dogs to survive. Bichon Frize cannot survive without salt.
So, how much salt is appropriate for a Bichon Frize? Generally speaking, a dog weighing 1 kg should have a daily salt intake of 0.4 to 0.7 mg.

Cannot feed chicken and chicken bones to pregnant female Bichon Frize dogs?

Some people believe that feeding chicken or chicken bones to pregnant female Bichon Frize dogs will cause early embryonic death and miscarriage. In fact, there is no scientific basis for this. Chicken is absolutely harmless to raising female dogs, and chicken soup is very nutritious for dogs. (Don’t forget, chicken soup is also a good tonic for pregnant human women after giving birth.)

But chicken bones are dangerous to pregnant female dogs. Because if the chicken bones are very small, it will easily cause the Bichon Frize to get stuck in the esophagus, so from this aspect it is best to feed less or not at all. But keep one thing in mind: chicken bones themselves are harmless.

Controlling the food intake of pregnant dogs will prevent dystocia

Many owners believe that controlling the food intake of pregnant dogs can prevent dystocia. In fact, this understanding is one-sided and unscientific. There are many factors that cause dystocia, mainly related to the breed, size, and pregnancy age of the female Bichon Frize.
Should we control our diet? If our Bichon Frize has a better appetite and a larger appetite, we should control our diet, especially sugary feed. But to what extent is it better to control it? Generally speaking, depending on the physical condition at the time of mating, pregnant female dogs are neither thin nor fat during pregnancy.
Clinically, it is common for some dog owners to control the food intake of pregnant dogs in order to prevent dystocia in their dogs, resulting in the female dog being as skinny as firewood before giving birth, with a protruding back like a bow and a belly as big as a drum, which in turn makes the delivery more difficult. Due to malnutrition, the female Bichon Frize has poor physical strength during delivery and has weak contractions, which makes her prone to dystocia; if a caesarean section is performed, the female dog has poor tolerance and the risk of her life increases; the female dog has poor physical fitness and less postpartum milk. Will affect the growth and development of cubs.
