YOUR PETS
Q: What is the best way to provide a healthy diet for my dog?
Answer:
In order to prevent illnesses in pets, good nutrition is essential.
A pregnant dog should be fed small amounts of a high quality
food several times a day (up to 5 times a day). The proper
amounts of carbohydrates, vitamins, proteins and minerals
must be given.
The puppies can start eating at 21 days, we should use a
good quality puppy food. It will have real meat as the source
of protein and it is well balanced; this food should be soaked
with chamomile’s warm water to soften it. We must offer them
at least five times a day until they turn 6 months old, then
three times until they are one year old, after this time twice a
day it is enough. Avoid giving large amounts of food once a
day, it can cause stomach torsion in large breeds.
If we use home-made food, never use bones, fat, garlic,
onions, grapes, chocolate, walnuts or raw eggplant. Make
sure you provide well-balanced food at all times.
Small and large breeds have different nutritional requirements,
patients with heart, liver, kidney, intestinal or skin problems
should be fed appropriately. Ask your vet about this particular
issue.
