Before feeding your pet to choose dog food, you should clearly recognize the breed, type and physiological stage of the pet, is a miniature, small, medium-large, large dogs, puppy stage or adult stage, different types and different physiological stages of the pet, feeding dog food portions and methods are not the same.

2. Dry feeding and wet feeding are both possible
Many pet owners always ask: “Is it better to feed the dog food dry or after soaking it in water?” In fact, there is no contradiction between the two. You can either eat dry food and drink water, or soak it wet and then feed it, so that your pet can eat the food and water together.
Generally speaking, let your pet eat the dry food first, put a bowl of water next to it, and then go back to drink some water afterwards. In addition to the basic requirements of eating dry food, the hardness of the puffed pellets can also have some cleaning effect on the mouth, removing some of the buildup in the mouth and reducing oral disease. However, in reality, we often observe that dogs are not as rational as we think, and do not seem to be interested in the water placed next to them, and will only drink when thirsty. The purpose of this is simply to allow the pet to eat the food with water and to increase the amount of water the pet drinks. It is also possible to add liquid ‘temptations’ such as boneless broth, yoghurt, etc. to the food and stir them together for your dog to swallow. This is a great way to increase your pet’s enjoyment of dog food and also to increase their water intake. However, after the pet dog enters the adult stage, it can no longer carry out the dog food soaking water eating method, at that time, as long as the pet can be provided with drinking water at any time can be.

The temperature of the dog food is very critical, once the control is not good, the temperature is high will cause the pet mouth burns, the temperature is too low will cause the pet gastrointestinal diseases, diarrhea, diarrhea symptoms. We have observed for a long time that dog food should not be fed at too high a temperature, generally the temperature of the food is 1 to 2°C above the body temperature is the best, control at about 40°C, the temperature is higher, the pet will show refusal to eat, serious will cause burns on the pet’s mouth. Similarly, temperatures that are too low, especially for some pet owners who store their dog food in the fridge in summer to prevent it from spoiling and feed it directly to their pets after taking it out, can easily cause diarrhoea in pets. Therefore, for those pet owners who need to soak their dog food wet before feeding, it is recommended that they must choose warm water around 40°C and not cool water.
4. Feed your dog food at regular intervals, at regular intervals and in quantitative amounts
Dogs are very intelligent pets with superb intelligence and memory. Therefore, long-term adhere to the same place, the same time to feed them dog food, over time, the pets have formed a fixed habit of life, and we humans are the same, to the start of the meal time, it is natural to wait for the dog food, before feeding, the mouth will secrete saliva, as well as the stomach secrete digestive enzymes, so that not only can reduce the dog a lot of bad habits, but also can promote the pet dog to digestion and absorption of the food, and can also improve the palatability of the pet’s dog food accordingly, showing a love for it.
The number and quantity of dog food feedings is a matter of concern, remember not to feed your pet anytime, anywhere, regardless of the rules, as this can lead to a series of bad habits. Normally, puppies should be fed 2 to 4 times a day. As they get older, the number of feedings decreases; adult dogs should be fed 1-2 times a day. It is not advisable to overfeed your pet, because pet dogs in primitive natural societies, successful predation to prey is irregular, often hungry and full, so they will try their best to sweep all the food in front of them, after a long period of human domestication, this life characteristic has not been changed, still in all family pet habits retained, so, to strictly control the amount of each feeding, give the dog to eat as long as seventy Do not overfeed your dog to avoid overstuffing.
