How to feed Wirehaired Pointer Griffon dogs? Their feeding is very important in the process of raising pets. If the food is not properly matched according to their eating habits, it will have a great impact on their health.

The growth and development of puppies requires twice the amount of calories as that of adult dogs. Compared with humans, the life of a dog is particularly short, and the Wirehaired Pointing Griffin is no exception. Dogs develop very quickly, and the process from puppy to adult only takes about one year, depending on the breed and size of the dog. This period of growth is very important and can even affect a puppy’s life. In order for your puppy to grow up healthy and strong, special attention should be paid to its diet during development.

From weaning to around the third month, feeding times should be set at 7 a.m., 12 noon, 5 p.m. and 10 p.m., 4 times a day. From the 5th to 8th month of life, puppies can be fed three times in the morning, noon, and evening. The amount of food given to puppies during this period is approximately one-third to half of that of adult dogs.

In the months from 2-3 months after weaning to within 3 months, the puppy’s food composition will determine its lifelong eating habits. If you plan to continue to feed special dog food in the future, you must adapt it to the taste of special dog food during this period of time.

If you plan to raise them with family meals in the future, the food should be mainly animal protein and feed more high-calorie foods. When puppies are 2-3 months old, the meat should be cut into fine pieces before feeding them because their teeth and lower jaw are not yet fully developed. Goat milk, butter, canned food, etc. are also suitable. But don’t give them hard bones, etc. yet.

The period from 6 months to 1 year old after birth is approximately equivalent to a human being in his teens, so a dog can develop into a young dog equivalent to an 18-year-old in one year. This period is the period when the dog is growing most vigorously, and the calories it consumes are about twice as much as it grows, so it can feed more animal protein foods.

What should I do if my dog ​​is not used to eating hard special dog food? Most puppies can eat hard special dog food when they are about 2 months old. If the puppies are still not accustomed to eating, you can soak them in boiling water or soup before feeding them.

How to judge whether the feeding amount is appropriate? Each dog's food intake is not exactly the same. You can feed a little more at the beginning, and then judge whether the feeding amount is too much based on the amount of leftover food. You can slowly increase the amount of food you feed as your puppy grows. The feeding amount should be adjusted according to the puppy's eating status, about once every 3 weeks.

How to feed high-calorie meat food? In order to meet the needs of rapid development during puppyhood, it must eat as much high-calorie food as possible. But if you consume too much fat, it can easily damage your digestive organs. Therefore, you can feed it after removing the fat part from the meat, or you can feed it less fat-rich foods such as minced meat.
