Yorkshire Terrier (certain introduction)

What should we pay attention to when raising a small dog? In fact, whether you are raising a large dog or a small dog, the raising methods are similar. The first thing we need to maintain is the balance of dog food nutrition. Don’t choose the food that we eat to feed them. Dog food is a relatively suitable kind of food, and natural dog food is not omnipotent. We can appropriately match some nutrients to make up for the nutritional deficiencies in dog food.

Before the dog is fully mature, it needs to continue to be fed according to a long-term diet. It needs this highly nutritious food to complete its growth and maintain the growth of its muscles, bones and other organs.

When it is close to the weight of an adult dog, you can slowly feed it the food of an adult dog. When it is 6 months to 2 years old (depending on the breed of dog) it is fully grown. Before that, it must be suitable for adult dogs.

Most dog owners, especially those of puppies, pay great attention to providing adequate food for their pets. Because puppies have a huge need for nutrients throughout their lives, they will try to satisfy their food needs to the maximum extent possible. However, this will cause many dogs to overeat and have adverse effects on them. In order to avoid this situation, the diet of growing dogs should be controlled within an appropriate range.

For small dogs, overfeeding during their development period can lead to obesity. The excess food absorbed is transferred to fat and accumulated in the body. When the dog is still young and growing, its body experiences the production of special fat cells to retain an appropriate amount of fat, and once these fat cells are produced, they will remain there for life. within its body. This will cause it to become obese as it grows up.

For large dogs, excessive diet during growth will lead to a series of bone deformations.

Check the fat covering its ribs. If it is too thick, it is too heavy.

What we need to pay attention to when it comes to small dogs is the obesity problem, because most small dogs do not have a particularly large amount of exercise. If obesity occurs, then it will be easy to lose weight. Not so easy anymore. Moreover, if an overweight small dog becomes pregnant, the chances of miscarriage and dystocia will be much greater.
