How many times do you feed an Australian Shepherd a day? In fact, although the Australian Shepherd is not as fragile as Teddy, it still requires careful attention from the owner. The editor will tell you now about the feeding points of the Australian Shepherd.

Generally speaking, it is best to feed 2 times a day. Especially in winter and growing dogs around 1 year old are also fed two meals a day. According to my personal experience, it is enough for adult dogs to feed one meal in the morning or mid-morning every day. If you feed the dog at night, it will cause indigestion in the dog, and the abdomen of the body will easily become enlarged, affecting the body shape and causing obesity. Dogs under 1 year old can be fed 3 times a day. Puppies under 3 months old should be fed 4 times a day. Puppies under 2 months old are best fed 5 times a day. Puppies under 1 month old need to be fed more frequently.

When the Australian Shepherd has no appetite, you can starve it for a day to restore the dog's appetite. Some dogs are not necessarily fed in the traditional way, and the frequency of feeding varies depending on the breed and type of feed. For example, Dachshunds like to eat dry dog ​​food and can feed it more than 4 times a day, but the amount each time should not be too much. If you let it eat semi-dry dog ​​food, because this kind of dog food is relatively nutritious, the number of feedings per day will be relatively less. Generally speaking, there is a principle that dogs should not be fed too full.

When feeding, the dog should be taught the rules it should have. Eating happily is a sign of good appetite, but it should not be allowed to gobble it up while eating, making "croaking, croaking, croaking" noises. It should be trained to eat slowly. In addition, once the dog has finished eating, he must take away the food bowl and do not let him come back to eat when he is free.

Its diet structure should be gradually adjusted according to time and circumstances. Then decide for yourself whether it is necessary to deworm and vaccinate it. The most important thing in raising a dog well is epidemic prevention. After your dog finishes eating, it will move around, which may mean it needs to defecate. At this time, you need to be patient and train it to develop the habit of defecating in a fixed place. Don't think it is young, otherwise wait until it grows up. It will cause unnecessary trouble in the future.
