Puppies will not stretch themselves to death

When almost every dog ​​owner first raises a dog, the seller (dog dealer) will tell them not to feed the puppy too much. The dog does not know how hungry it is and will stretch itself to death. .
Every time someone mentions this, I wonder if there is a healthy and normal person in the world who has died from eating too much...regardless of adults or children. When the baby is full and fed, he still turns his head and refuses. Although the IQ of dogs is not as high as that of humans, they are not so stupid that they don’t know whether they are full or not, so they stretch themselves to death, right? If so, it's called bulimia, a disease.
As far as I know, most of the time when children don’t have enough to eat when they are young, it’s probably because of poverty, not because of some strange theory that children can’t have enough to eat. Dog dealers don’t let puppies eat enough to save costs. After all, puppies are great eaters. Another reason is that puppies will sleep when they are full (nursing dogs eat and sleep after eating). If someone comes to buy a dog at this time and sees the puppy sleeping and is unhappy, they will not buy it. Due to multiple reasons, the strange lie that puppies can't eat enough and will stretch themselves to death if they eat too much has been spread. There is even a practice of feeding dog food by the grain no matter how old the dog is, which has harmed many dogs and cheated many poop scrapers.

The reasons why puppies vomit after eating dog food

There are two reasons why dogs vomit after eating. One is because they eat too quickly. One is due to strenuous exercise and flopping back and forth after eating. The dog's stomach is parallel to the ground, and the puppy's cardia muscles are underdeveloped and weak, making it easy to vomit when such a fuss occurs. However, these have no major impact. Once in a while, it is fine. If you spit it out, it will want to eat it back.
But be aware that if this happens often, the vomited stomach acid will flow back into the esophagus, causing reflux esophagitis (yes, dogs can also have this problem)
Or if you vomit frequently, it will irritate the stomach. Can cause indigestion. So shit shovelers still need to pay attention. For example, after eating, let the dog rest and don't play with it. If the dog eats too quickly, you can choose to use a slow food bowl.

How much dog food is suitable for a puppy to eat in a day

Dogs under 4 months old are babies and can eat 2 to 3 meals a day. And you need to pay attention to the quality of dog food.
For puppies who start eating at about one month old, 4 to 6 meals a day are acceptable, depending on the actual situation. My 2-month-old dog was fed 4 meals a day. After he went to his new home, he was fed 3 meals a day. After he was 3 months old, he was fed 2 meals a day. Of course, some dogs can eat 2 meals a day when they come out of the kennel at 2 and a half months old.
The key is the quality and total amount of dog food.
