A dog is in its youth , adulthood or old age, nutritional standards are not the same thing at all;
Dear pet lovers, can you agree with this view? This is indeed the case. We have already known that the nutritional standards required by different breeds of dogs are not universal, for example: small dogs, medium-sized dogs or large dogs; even different breeds of dogs have only one nutritional standard. For example, Abra Retrievers, Golden Retrievers, Chihuahuas, Shetland Dogs, etc.; at the same time, the nutrients required by the same dog at different psychological stages are not universal at all. For example, in their youth, they need to grow Growth provides more nutrition, while in adulthood, in addition to maintaining normal nutrition, we must also pay attention to weight loss nutrition and so on. Therefore, there is only one nutritional standard for a dog, and there is only one nutritional standard for all psychological stages. Different breeds, breeds, and ages must fully distinguish their nutritional standards. Only in this way can you bring health to your dog. Precise nutrition.
Using the Right Food for Your Puppy
First of all, congratulations on becoming a puppy owner.

Your best option is to give your puppy a good start in life to ensure that she is healthy and happy to spend more time with you.
The most basic nutritional requirements for all puppies are: correct nutrition, ample play time and unlimited love. However, each young dog also has special requirements. "Health starts from a young age" is our preferred nutritional concept. At the same time, different puppy breeds, ages, psychological stages, living conditions, physical activity and genetic factors should have different nutritional standards, "a fixed The pet nutrition concept of “nutritional planning fits all puppies” is inaccurate. Inaccurate feeding habitsImproper gas and nutritional standards will bring health risks to your puppies, such as: risks of obesity, risks of excessive growth, risks of bone development, risks of poor bone and muscle development, risks of low immunity, etc.
Only when the growing puppies meet their complete needs of nutrients can their health be maintained. In order to meet the growth and development requirements of puppies, their bodies require an increased amount of energy, protein and calcium nutritional requirements. Proper nutrition is key, and for the health of any puppy, you must ensure that your puppy gets the exact nutritional requirements she needs throughout her life.
The correct nutrition of puppies in the weaning period
The specific nutrition of puppies in the weaning period refers to the age of 42 days to 5 months. Pets are in this stage, which is a special psychological period with high incidence rate, high death rate, and vigorous growth and development. Weaning is a very large psychological stimulation stage for pets in all life stages, and it is the largest stage in the pet's life. turning point.
Puppies transform from being originally dependent on their mothers to being completely independent. At this time, the growth of various tissues and organs of the pet's body, as well as the operation and development of body functions, must absorb a large amount of high quality from food. Protein, a sufficient amount of vitamins, minerals and trace elements necessary to meet the growth of pets during the weaning period, etc. Experimental data show that pets can initially obtain 77% of their immune protection from breast milk. As the growth stage progresses, the maternal antibody concentration gradually decreases, reaching 45% at 1 week of age, 27% at 2 weeks of age, It was 16% at 3 weeks of age, and the maternal antibody immunity basically dropped to 0 by 8 weeks of age. This proves that the immune materials obtained from the mother's body during the weaning period of puppies quickly shrink to basically zero. However, the pet's immune organs at this stage are not yet healthy and are very vulnerable to various infectious diseases. Therefore, for the food nutrition requirements at this stage, it is required to pay more attention to adding some nutrients that are beneficial to improving immunity as the first choice, and to maintain the abundance of nutrients. At the same time, puppies at this stage are in a special psychological state where their digestive organs and functions are still relatively lacking and incomplete, their organ weight and volume are relatively small, and their digestive enzyme activity and quantity are limited. They must try to provide as much food as possible when choosing food. Some nutrients that are easy to digest and have relatively high nutrient concentration, as well as rice, dairy products, meat, eggs, fruits and vegetables, etc. that are easy to digest and absorb.
During the whole process from 42 days to 5 months of age, the growth ability of various parts of the body of puppies in the weaning period is uneven. Generally speaking, the weight of the body is mainly reduced before 3 months of age. The body length decreases after 5 months of age, so when designing the pet food formula at this stage, the growth characteristics of the pet at this physiological stage should be fully considered, and corresponding nutrients should be provided according to this order.
The special psychological stage of puppies during the weaning period, because it transitions from completely relying on the mother dog to living independently, is a very special and critical psychological stage, which determines whether the pet is growing up healthily and even whether it is normal. The key to survivalProcedure. Therefore, it is crucial for pet food at this stage to provide accurate nutrition, which not only requires sufficient protein nutrition, but also requires the special structure of protein nutrients in the food.
At the same time, this stage is the vigorous stage of body growth, which has higher requirements for bone growth, bone health, body development, etc. It not only requires the supplement of sufficient calcium, In addition, special attention is required to pay attention to the ratio relationship between calcium and phosphorus. An imbalance in the ratio of calcium to phosphorus often causes skeletal development disorders and even bone fractures in pets at this stage.
