如何選擇合適的狗零食? 避免過肥篇

As a dog owner, whether it is training food, leisure time food, after weaning, in addition to the staple food, the dog owner will buy different kinds of snacks than the dog, as one of the proofs of loving the dog.

If you buy different dog snacks randomly without thinking about the needs of your dog, it may eventually cause your dog to be overweight, picky eaters, and even cause cardiovascular or joint damage. How to avoid it before choosing dog snacks? Do dogs have obesity problems?

1️⃣ As a dog owner, you should understand the daily calorie needs of your dog. The general recommended calculation method is as follows (for reference only)

Unneutered dog: body weight (kg) x 120 x 0.75

Negated dog: body weight (kg) x 120 x 0.75 x 0.6

For example, if your dog is neutered for the elderly and weighs 10 kg, it needs 10x120x0.75x0.6 = 540 calories per day

The amount of snacks per day accounts for about 10% of the daily calorie needs

So using the same example, an older neutered dog would need 540x10% = 54 calories per day

2️⃣ No snacks should be fed 1-2 hours before the meal, so as not to cause the dog to have a picky eating habit

3️⃣ The snacks used as rewards during training should choose high-protein, low-calorie snacks to reduce the chance of dog obesity

4️⃣ Finally, just like humans eat snacks, we must develop a good habit of reading product labels, pay attention to the calories and ingredients of snacks, and reduce the risk of dog diseases in the elderly
