What should I do if my Teddy is losing weight? Some pet owners feed their Teddy more casually, sometimes feeding them too much, sometimes feeding them less, which causes the Teddy to get gastroenteritis, poor gastrointestinal function, and poor food absorption, and he will easily become thinner; if It’s not that Teddy has a bad gastrointestinal condition, but he is still too thin, which means that the dog food is not nutritious enough and Teddy’s growth and development is slow.

Irregular eating habits

Some pet owners feed their teddy dogs more casually, sometimes three times a day, sometimes twice, or even once. Sometimes you feed too much, sometimes you feed too little. In fact, this is not good for Teddy's stomach. This kind of Teddy is prone to being overly hungry and full, and is prone to gastroenteritis. Will it make him gain weight?

Therefore, it is best to feed Teddy regularly and quantitatively every day. Puppies are 3-8 months old and fed 3-4 times. Feed 2-3 times after adulthood (small dogs mature at 8 months, large dogs mature at 1 year old). For Teddy dogs with poor gastrointestinal absorption, it is recommended to eat as few meals as possible.

It is best to follow the merchant’s recommendations for feeding amount, because nutritious dog food requires slightly less food, and low-nutrition dog food requires more.

Poor absorption

Some teddy dogs cannot absorb food well in their gastrointestinal tract, which can lead to obesity. In fact, it is the same as people's fatness and thinness. Some people get fat after eating a little, and some people don't gain weight no matter how much they eat.

Long-term thinness will cause changes in the flora in the intestines, and the digestion and absorption functions will be weakened. To return to a healthy weight and absorb adequate nutrients, you must have a healthy stomach. You can feed Teddy some conditioning probiotics to promote gastrointestinal health, promote peristalsis, and increase vitality. Feeding more water in daily life can also help gastrointestinal motility.

Unbalanced diet

If Teddy is not suffering from gastrointestinal problems but is still too thin, it means that the dog food is not nutritious enough and Teddy’s growth and development is slow. Some friends who feed cheap dog food should pay attention. If the growing Teddy does not get enough nutrition, the Teddy's physical development may be deformed. The most typical one is a hunched back. The Teddy's back is high and very ugly. , so it is necessary to ensure the nutritional needs of Teddy during its growth.

Some pets will find that the cheaper the commercial food, the more Teddy likes to eat it. Why? Some businesses add a lot of additives, seasonings, high salt content and high oil content into dog food for the sake of palatability, but these are Have a negative impact on Teddy's body. Therefore, pets mainly start from the health point of view and purposefully select some high-quality natural food. We recommend low-salt and low-oil natural dog food. It contains high meat content and various trace elements to provide comprehensive nutrition for Teddy!

In addition to the usual dog food, you can feed chicken breasts and 3-4 egg yolks 1-2 times a week (calcium supplementation, hair beautification effect). Be careful not to overdose. Excessive amounts can easily cause Teddy to have a partial eclipse and eat meat. Don’t eat dog food, it’s nutritionally unbalanced.

Awkward period

It’s just that Teddy has become temporarily biased due to normal growth.It is a period when the dog breed has lost the proportion, coordination and beauty it should have and becomes unsightly, so we call it the embarrassing period. It is normal for Teddy to be thin when he is in the awkward period (that is, the stage of rapid growth and development). As long as he reaches adulthood, he will gain weight. It's a bit like a teenager who has started to grow taller. He is very tall but has no fat.

Low amount of exercise

Although Teddy does not need to exercise a lot, Teddy who does not exercise for a long time is also prone to getting sick, and his health and resistance will be slightly worse, and it will also lead to problems such as poor appetite. You can usually take Teddy out for exercise for 1-2 hours. During daily exercise, you can do some games or movement training, and you can choose some snacks as rewards during training!

Physical illness

Teddy pays great attention to all aspects of his diet, and has ruled out gastrointestinal absorption problems, which may be caused by parasites or diseases. This needs to be dewormed regularly and taken to the hospital as soon as possible to check for other diseases. When your body is healthy, you will gradually gain weight!
