Wang Xingren is naturally gluttonous and can eat as long as it is food, but one day he suddenly is not interested in eating! Is it a major change in temperament or something else? Today Dr. E is here to reveal the secret!
It's all the fault of picky eaters
1 picky food for a reason
(1) Change dog food frequently
Some shoveling officials worry that dogs will feel bored after eating a kind of dog food for a long time, so they constantly replace the dog with a new kind of dog food, so that the dog thinks there will be something better to eat behind and refuses to eat the current food.
(2) meat feeding too much
Dogs are irresistible to meat. If the shovel excrement officer overfeeds, the dog can easily become picky and does not like to eat dog food.
(3) Feeding human meals
Human food tends to be quite flavorful, and after dogs try it, they may lose interest in bland dog kibble.
(4) Feeding too many snacks
Dog snacks are not only rich in variety but also very delicious. If you eat too many snacks, it will cause dogs to be picky about food, which is the same as children.
(5) Change of grain without transition
Some dogs have very specific tastes. When the shoveling officer wants to replace it with a new food, he needs to follow the gradual process and cannot directly complete the new dog food. Otherwise, the dog will not like to eat it if it does not fully adapt to the new food.
2 correct picky eaters
(1) regularly every day, fixed point to provide dogs with dog food to place in a fixed position, 15~30 minutes after the dog still does not eat, the dog food will be withdrawn;
3 good habits need to develop
(1) Change of grain to transition
When preparing to change food for the dog, do not replace it all at once. The old and new food should be matched and replaced step by step so that the dog can slowly adapt to the new food.
(2) the right amount of meat
When feeding canned meat and meat to the dog to moderate, overfeeding may cause the dog serious picky food and obesity.
(3) snacks properly fed
Snacks should be fed as a reward after the dog obeys the instructions. The shoveling officer should not feed snacks to the dog at will.
(4) strengthen exercise
Appropriate increase in the dog's amount of exercise both exercise the dog's body, but also improve the dog's appetite.
It's not just picky eaters at work.
1 Long Teeth Changing Period
Dogs will lose appetite due to itching and pain in their gums during the teething and tooth replacement period. The shoveling officer remembers to prepare molar toys for dogs at this stage.
2 in estrus
Estrus dogs under the influence of hormones will also have symptoms of loss of appetite. At this time, the shoveling excrement officer can feed the dog with good palatability wet food to help TA restore appetite.
Three dogs are sick.
If the dog is sick, there will also be loss of appetite. If the dog does not eat, and his mental state is not good, he also has symptoms such as vomiting, diarrhea and fever, then the dog is probably sick!
4 hot weather
When the weather is hot, the dog is easy to become no appetite, then shoveling excrement officer can prepare some appetizing food, and pay attention to prevent summer heat.
