What to do if Teddy is skinny and skinny? Some pet owners feed their dogs more casually, sometimes feeding them too much, sometimes feeding them less, which causes Teddy to get gastroenteritis, poor gastrointestinal function, and poor food absorption, making him prone to becoming thinner. ; If the Teddy is not in a bad gastrointestinal condition but is still too thin, it means that the dog food is not nutritious enough and the Teddy grows and develops slowly.

Irregular eating habits

Some pet owners feed their 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 the dog’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 have noticed that if a growing dog does not get enough nutrition, the dog's physical development may be deformed. The most typical one is a hunched back. The dog's back is high and very ugly. , so the nutritional needs of the dog must be ensured as the dog grows.

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 perspective of health and purposefully select some high-quality natural food. We recommend low-salt and low-oil natural dog food, which contains high meat content and various trace elements to provide comprehensive nutrition for dogs!

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, as excessive amounts can easily lead to a partial eclipse and meat eating. Don’t eat dog food, it’s nutritionally unbalanced.

Awkward period

It is because the dog changes due to normal growth.It is a period when the dog temporarily deviates from the proportion, coordination and beauty that the dog breed 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, dogs that exercise little for a long time are also prone to getting sick, and their health and resistance will be slightly worse, and it will also lead to problems such as low 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 dogs pay great attention to all aspects of their diet, and have 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!
