I have been in my home for 15 months, and I have changed 7 kinds of dog food. The frequency of changing dog food is quite frequent. There are many reasons for the replacement of dog food, for example: the dog's stomach does not adapt, the dog does not like to eat, imported dog food is out of stock and can not be bought.. Therefore, I have suffered a lot in the selection of dog food, but also slowly groped out the experience method.

What are the dog foods for different ages?

2 ~ 4 months old weaning period: milk cake, boiled warm water or goat milk feeding

4 ~ 12 months old puppy period: puppy food, small particles, rich nutrition, easy to digest
more than 12 months old adult dog period: whole dog food/adult dog food, large particles

Factors to consider when choosing dog food

1. Cost budget

Everyone has their own ideas and economic ability to raise pets. Choosing dog food without budget is like looking for a needle in a haystack. Therefore, you can choose the best dog food within your economic ability.

2. Formula Ingredients

Pay attention to the list of dog food ingredients, according to the principle that the more ingredients, the higher, pay more attention to the first six ingredients of dog food formula. Give preference to grain-free dog food made from fresh meat, and avoid dog food with a lot of meat powder, liver, and starch. Lower prices on the market dog food, mostly add brown rice, this kind of dog food after eating, the dog poop more, easy to fat.

Take the ingredient list of a certain dog food as an example.

3. Stable supply

No matter how good the dog food is, if it is only supplied twice a year, you will complain bitterly and worry about running out of food at home every day. The shelf life of dog food is limited. For small and medium-sized dog families, it is unrealistic to hoard a large amount of food, so stable supply and more purchasing channels are a plus.

4. Dog's needs

Dogs who are worried about obesity can choose dog food with low fat content and avoid rice, grain and other formulas. Dogs who need to gain weight can eat puppy food with rich nutrition content, but they can not eat it for a long time. If necessary, they need to replace it with whole dog or adult dog food. Babies with a history of allergies should try to avoid allergenic foods.

From the feeding situation, how to judge whether the dog food is appropriate?

1. See if the dog's poop is healthy.

Parents all know that to check whether the dog is healthy, you can observe the poop. The color and shape of the dog's poop are a reflection of the dog's health. Performance of healthy poop: brown, shaped, not touching the ground; if the dog has too much feces after eating the dog food, it proves that the carbohydrate of the dog food is high; if the dog has soft feces, reduce the feeding first, if there is no improvement, the dog food is not suitable for your baby's stomach.

2. What is the palatability of dog food?

Choose natural grain

as far as possible to replace commodity grain with heavy attractant. Good dog food carefully selected by Baba Ma Ma, if the dog likes to eat, that is the icing on the cake. Note: This is not a reference for picky eaters. Dogs who are picky eaters should try to correct their picky eating behavior by feeding regularly and quantitatively.

3. Is the particle size suitable for dogs?

Feeding adult dogs generally do not need to worry about too large particles for dogs to chew; smaller dogs should try to choose dog food with smaller particles, and older dogs should try to avoid dog food that is difficult to chew.

I can't say enough about your love--a list of your favorite foods

Now whole breed adult dog food ★ ★ ★ ★

Reason for listing: Dogs love to eat, the size of the particles is moderate, feeding for about three months, the weight of the thin Hua Dee has increased. Ma Ma looked at the poop shape shiny, the heart is also very happy!

Peak Chicken Formula Dog Food ★

Reason for being on the list: The peak, needless to say, has a high meat content, which can be used as a reward for snacks. The average family (like me) can mix the peak with other dog food, after all, it's a little expensive, and the meat content is really high.
