What kind of dog food should a poodle eat?

A pet friend said that at least one of the ten families with dogs has a VIP (also known as a teddy dog). Unexpectedly, the breeding army of Poodles is so large, so Dr. E will tell you about the problem of choosing staple food for Poodles.

Choose according to the age of the VIP.

Dog food can be divided into milk cake food, puppy food, adult dog food, old dog food and whole dog food according to the applicable age. The dog food can be changed according to the growth stage of the poodle.

Tips: The whole dog food is theoretically suitable for every stage of poodle feeding, but Dr. E suggests that the poodle in the puppy stage should choose puppy food or milk cake food, which is more nutritious.

Choose according to the particle size of the dog food

Poodles can be divided into small dogs and large dogs according to their size.

Petite teacup VIPs and toy VIPs can choose dog food with small particles (diameter: 0.5-1.2cm), which is easy to chew and swallow.

Standard VIP and Jugui can choose dog food with standard granules (diameter: 1.2-2cm) or large granules (diameter: more than 2cm) to increase the time for dogs to chew and bite, which is more conducive to digestion.
