Golden Retriever (Definite Introduction)
Many owners have little knowledge about raising pets. Generally, golden retrievers that are 7 or 8 months old have already passed the puppy stage. , but it is not yet 1 year old, so it is considered a minor, and it still needs to pay more attention to its diet. The way to raise golden retrievers at 7 or 8 months is also somewhat different from that of puppies or adult dogs. Let me introduce to you some points that you should pay attention to when raising golden retrievers for 7 or 8 months:
1. It is best to feed specialized commercial dog food instead of homemade dog food
Before 8 months, Golden Retriever puppies develop the fastest. At this time, it is best to feed Golden Retriever dog food, rather than feeding the puppies regular dog food. Because commercial dog food contains all the nutrients needed for puppy growth, as well as high units of protein. It is very easy for autonomous dog food to have nutritional imbalances.
2. Don’t blindly add nutrients to Golden Retriever puppies
Even though some products often brag about how good their nutritional solutions and nutritional products are, we do not recommend giving them to your Golden Retriever. Dogs buy these things. In fact, most dog food already contains sufficient nutrients, such as calcium and vitamin D (helping calcium absorption), vitamin A, vitamin B, and vitamin E.
So don’t give your little golden retriever calcium tablets or protein powder easily. Excessive calcium supplementation can sometimes make the bones of golden retriever puppies strong. On the contrary, it is not good.
3. Control the speed and ability of golden retriever puppies to eat
If the golden retriever puppy does not finish eating within 10 to 15 minutes, the food must be taken away and not to develop bad habits. Don’t even get into the habit of eating snacks.
At the same time, you need to train your Golden Retriever. You may wish to take out objects from its mouth at any time to prevent the Golden Retriever from eating harmful objects. Use big bones when training, hold the bones firmly, give them to the little golden retriever to chew twice, and then take away the bones. Repeat these actions to let the dog understand that you have control, and keep training until you can easily take it away. until the food in the mouth is removed.
(But be careful not to be bitten by a golden retriever during training, and do not do it while the golden retriever is eating).
Four or eight months laterFeeding knowledge
The growth rate of golden retrievers slows down after they are 7 or 8 months old, and you can gradually increase the amount of food. Leftovers at home (rice is a good staple food for adult dogs) are also a good choice, but be careful not to be too salty.
At the same time, you can also give egg yolks to puppies, but not more than three times a week. It is best not to feed golden retrievers casually protein. Pork liver and beef liver may be fed in small amounts, at most once a week. Offal foods must be fully cooked before feeding.
Using cooked minced beef or leftovers as seasoning, slightly soaking nutritious puppy feed until soft, and then giving it to the golden retriever are the best ways to prevent anorexia. It is not recommended to buy Miaoxian dried seasonings as they contain many additives.
If conditions permit, you can have a cup of yogurt every day before going to bed, which will help golden retriever intestines absorb and make digestion easier.
