How much dog food is suitable for a golden retriever dog?

Golden Retriever (confirm introduction)

Many friends who raise golden retrievers often ask us this question. Generally speaking, golden retrievers of different ages have different appetites. Below, "Looking for Pets" will introduce in detail "how much dog food is appropriate for a golden retriever to eat in a meal."

1. A good method for estimating how much dog food a Golden Retriever eats. I saw a Taiwanese dog lover who introduced a good method for measuring dog food for Golden Retrievers. You may wish to refer to it: the common methods are Look at the dosage on the back label of dog food. In fact, all dog food is based on a calorie estimation method to determine the feeding amount. The method is as follows:

Suppose: A one-year-old golden retriever weighs 33 Kilograms, then the calories a Golden Retriever needs per day are estimated as follows:

1. Divide the dog’s body weight (kg) 3 times (33x33x33=35937)

2. The answer to the riddle of 1. is the root number (=189.57)

3. Then the answer to the riddle of 2. is the root number (=13.76)

4. The answer to the riddle of 3. is 125 (=1720) It turns out that the calories this golden retriever needs throughout the day is 1720 calories.

If it is a dog that is overweight or not very active, it is necessary to change the value from 125 to 100. After getting the accurate number of calories, you need to count the calories in a cup of dog food that your dog eats. For example, an eight-ounce cup of dog food you are eating now (about the same as a common household rice measuring cup) has 550 calories. Divide 1720 by 550, and you’ll get just over three cups a day.

Two things to pay attention to when raising Golden Retrievers, but one thing to keep in mind. Although the above formula is very scientific, different golden retrievers have different body types and different food intakes. Therefore, golden retriever owners must pay attention to observing the status of golden retrievers after eating.

After eating, if there is food left in the dog’s food bowl, it means that it has been fed too much or it is overdone; if the golden retriever continues to lick the empty food bowl with its tongue, it may look at the owner longingly. , prove that you don’t eat drums.

It is not advisable to overfeed puppies, with 70% to 80% feed being the best. In addition, since the gastrointestinal tract of puppies is still in the process of development, more attention should be paid to hygiene to prevent the occurrence of gastrointestinal diseases. The feeding rule for puppies is to eat many small meals.

At the same time, it should be noted that if it is a puppy, you can take a soak in warm or cold water.It is relatively long, but it will not let the nutrients of the dog food disappear.
