4. Feeding misunderstandings that must be avoided
Frequently asked questions revealed by the #petfeeding blacklist topic on Weibo:
1.Feeding too much snacks: Leads to obesity and picky eating, snacks should be controlled within 10% of total calories
2.Human food is given ad libitum: Chocolate, onions, grapes, etc. are toxic to dogs
3.Not controlling eating speed: Fast food can easily cause gastric torsion, so you can use slow food bowls
5. Seasonal feeding adjustments
New discussions triggered by recent weather changes: Water replenishment should be increased in summer, and caloric intake can be appropriately increased by 5-10% in winter. It is recommended to weigh yourself monthly and record changes in body posture.
6. Special precautions
1. Common allergens for Samoyeds: corn, wheat and other grains. It is recommended to choose grain-free formula.
2. Hair care: Add lecithin or fish oil 2-3 times a week
3. Avoid eating within 30 minutes after exercise to prevent stomach discomfort
