At different developmental stages, the growth ability of different parts of the dog's body is unbalanced.
In the first three months after birth, the main growth and weight gain, from the fourth month to the sixth month, the main growth body length, after seven months, the main growth body height, depending on the nutrients needed by the dog at different development stages, to determine the type and quantity of feed to be fed. Adequate protein, fat, carbohydrates, minerals and vitamins should be provided during the whole growth and development period after the puppies leave the bitch to live independently. Such as grain, lean meat, milk, eggs, vegetables, dried fish oil, bone meal, etc. , and should be quantified regularly.
Dogs 2-3 months old should be fed 4-5 times a day. The daily dosage standard is 200g of lean meat, 300g of milk, 0/egg/kloc-0, 250-500g of rice, 250-300g of vegetables and 3-5g of salt, and appropriate cod liver oil and bone meal should be supplemented. If possible, you can give the puppies some pig and bovine cartilage, but don't feed the chicken bones.
After 8 months of age, it can be fed according to the feed ration standard of adult dogs.
The above standards are not fixed, but should be determined according to the size and food intake of dogs. Generally speaking, after feeding the puppies, there is still food residue in the food bowl, indicating that there is too much food; On the contrary, the dog continues to lick the basin with his tongue or look at his owner after eating, indicating that the food is not enough. In addition, the dog food sold in the market or in pet clinics is mainly produced by foreign dog food companies, which is a full-price balanced nutritional food. Feeding this food does not need to supplement other foods, otherwise it will disturb the nutritional balance of dogs.
Note: the dog's feed must be high-quality and fresh, prepared separately, and fed now (except for food on the market), and pay attention to hygiene to prevent gastrointestinal diseases. Regularly and quantitatively fix the place every day, and don't give any food during non-feeding time to avoid forming bad habits. And carefully observe the eating performance of dogs, especially during the period of group breeding, to prevent individual dogs from overeating, resulting in uneven eating of other puppies. Because the puppy's digestive function is weak, the food he started feeding should not be too hard, and he should feed more rotten (processed) food. Don't feed hard or cold food such as bones too early, so as not to affect the development of dogs.
Second, do a good job in management.
The quality of management is an important factor in the development and growth of dogs. Puppies of 2-3 months need patient and meticulous management, which not only has a great relationship with the physical development of puppies, but also has a direct impact on the normal development of nervous system activities. Therefore, correctly guiding puppies to exercise and exercise in the environment plays a great role in strengthening bone and muscle tissue, improving the function of internal organs, promoting metabolism and adapting to different climate and environmental conditions.
After weaning, dogs should have proper exercise, buy dog toys for dogs to play with, and the owner can play some small games with dogs.
As the dog grows up, the time for the owner to walk the dog will gradually increase, generally from half an hour to one hour (preferably at intervals).
Third, ensure health, timely immunization and deworming.
It is an important measure to prevent diseases and improve health to do well the hygiene, immunization and deworming of dogs. From the beginning of weaning, it is necessary to comb its hair frequently and keep the environment ventilated and clean, which is of great benefit to promoting blood circulation and metabolism, regulating rest temperature and resisting diseases. Because the puppy's skin is sensitive, it should be light and comfortable when grooming. The puppy's nest should be cleaned and cleaned frequently, the feces should be removed in time and properly handled, and it should be disinfected regularly (84 disinfectant can be sprayed). Pay attention to hygiene in diet, clean utensils and clean water for dogs.
Parasites are divided into internal parasites and external parasites. The parasites in the body are mainly worms, which are divided into three categories: nematodes, tapeworms and trematodes. It is extremely harmful to the dog's body, and its biological characteristics are fundamentally different, so it needs anti-worm drugs with different modes of action. Albendazole (25mg/kg, 1 time/day, three days) was generally taken orally; Subcutaneous injection of ivermectin by ectoparasites in dogs combined with topical drugs. Puppies are easy to be infected with parasites such as roundworms, which is very unfavorable to the development of puppies. Therefore, stool examination should be conducted at least once every two months. If you find eggs, you should take medicine in time to drive them away. And strengthen the management of feces to prevent the spread of germs and eggs. In normal exercise, we should also pay attention to prevent dogs from picking up feces or dirt anywhere, so as not to cause gastrointestinal diseases. Puppies should have regular physical examinations.
The harm of infectious diseases to dog health can not be ignored. There are many kinds of vaccines and combined vaccines abroad to prevent this situation, such as imported six-combined vaccine and rabies vaccine. Domestic vaccines for dogs include five vaccines for dogs and seven vaccines for dogs. The injection method of canine pentavaccine and canine hexavaccine starts from 50 days after birth (related to vaccines), and the vaccines are injected three times every 2-3 weeks. Strengthen it once a year in the future.
Fourth, learn from childhood.
Dogs are generally not allowed to go out from weaning to 4 months old to avoid catching infectious diseases. It's best to buy some toys for them to play with and let them chew. The key period of training is when the dog is 6-7 weeks old. Dogs in this period are in a period of fun or training. The degree of training and cultivation is directly related to the intelligence of dogs in the future. It is easier to train dogs to defecate in fixed places, such as standing, coming over, sitting down, shaking hands, walking upright and not barking. If they get good training in this period, they will get better training, heart and patience in the future. Otherwise, it will be more difficult to train after this period.
