Pet Dogs
People generally eat appropriate food according to the changes in the seasons. It turns out that dogs are also universal! If you can choose food for your dog according to seasonal changes, it will be of great benefit to the dog's health. Let’s learn everything from the editor below!
1. Spring (the food intake is 10% smaller than in winter when the temperature starts to warm)
After winter, too many calories are no longer needed, but the dog’s appetite will not drop suddenly, so be careful not to let it eat too much. Snacks are the foundation of fattening. If you want to give snacks to your dog, you can only feed them meat and the like, and they should be regarded as part of the food intake. Food intake should also be reduced to 90% of winter food intake. As the temperature and humidity decrease, food can easily become moldy, so it should be stored in a sealed container and stored in a breathable place.
2. Summer (the season when appetite decreases, often measure body weight)
Dogs are very afraid of heat, and their appetite will decrease in summer. This is a normal psychological phenomenon of reducing fat to survive the heat, so there is no need to worry. However, the dog's body weight should be weighed once a month. If the body weight decreases by 10%, it proves that there is something wrong with his body. If your dog’s appetite is still strong in summer, you must prevent it from gaining weight. A sudden reduction in food intake will make it very anxious, so mixing in low-calorie food can effectively control food intake.
3. Autumn (the season when appetite is strong to prevent weight gain)
Not only humans, dogs also have a strong appetite in autumn. This is a normal psychological phenomenon of storing subcutaneous fat for winter.. If you eat too much, you will still gain weight. If the dog's body weight increases sharply and its fat can be directly felt, it should be lost weight immediately. There is no need to reduce food intake when losing weight. As long as you mix some cabbage into dog food, you can transform high-calorie foods into low-calorie foods. When the weather is good, let it dry a lot, which will also help prevent its obesity.
4. Winter (pay attention to supplement water when appetite is strong)
In winter, a large amount of subcutaneous fat accumulates to maintain body temperature. The puppy's appetite is extremely strong, and the amount of exercise is also reduced, so its food intake should be gradually reduced. Eating too much can cause obesity, so your dog should be weighed regularly and tested for fat. In addition, heating will dry out the indoor air, so you should always prepare fresh water to prevent it from drinking.
