1. Age group feeding of Schnauzers

1. Young age is the main stage of dog growth and development. It grows rapidly, so it must supply sufficient nutrition

The young period is the fastest growing and most easy to cultivate, and also the most morbid and dead stage. Therefore, at this stage, we must understand the growth and development laws and physiological characteristics of Schnauzer puppies, and give them scientific care. Schnauzer puppies after weaning, because of the sudden change of living conditions, often appear uneasy and easily get sick. At this time, they should choose food with good nutrition, good taste and easy digestion. Schnauzer puppies under 3 months of age should be fed at least 3-4 times a day. The method of feeding less frequently can be used. Less frequent feeding can make Schnauzer puppies always feel full. Not to be bored and picky eaters. Schnauzer puppies aged 4-6 months have increased food intake, rapid weight gain, and increased daily feed requirements, which should be fed at least 3 times a day. Dogs after 6 months of age can be fed twice a day.

Although there is a lot of protein in meat, there are less vitamin A, vitamin D, vitamin E and iodine. At the same time, there is less calcium and more phosphorus in meat. Eating meat for a long time will easily cause the imbalance of calcium and phosphorus ratio in Schnauzer puppies. Bone formation disorder, prone to breakage or lameness. For large dogs such as Great Danes, it is not advisable to feed a large amount of meat too early, otherwise it may cause bending of the forelimbs.

2. Foods suitable for Schnauzers

1. Three indispensable nutrients

Schnauzers are also like humans. In order to develop and maintain their health, they must have three major nutrients, including protein, fat, and carbohydrates (sugar). For a small dog, the necessary amount per 1 kg of body weight is 90 kcal; while a large dog of 50 kg requires 49 kcal per 1 kg, so the heavier the weight, the more calorie per 1 kg. The necessary amount should be gradually reduced, and the small schnauzer has twice the calories of its adult dog, which is to meet the needs of short-term growth.

Protein is decomposed into amino acids in the Schnauzer's body, which is very important to Schnauzer's various organs, muscles, blood, bones, coat, skin, toes and claws. Beneficial. Once fat enters the body, it will stay in the digestive organs for a long time and give a sense of fullness. When too much fat is given and the exercise continues to be insufficient, the accumulated fat will become the cause of obesity. In addition to protein, fat and carbohydrates, minerals and vitamins are indispensable to the Schnauzer's body. If the minerals and vitamins are insufficient, it will affect the development of the Schnauzer's bones and its resistance to disease. force.

2. Daily food

Chicken and turkey are both easy to digest, and their calorie content is lower than other meats. Schnauzers can eat three times Crack the chicken bones in two bites and swallow them in your stomach. When feeding the fish, you are very careful to remove the very small bones. Unlike cats, dogs will not pick the bones by themselves. They will only chew the bones whole and swallow them whole. Cooked rice is easy to digest. Add some chicken soup and chicken to the meal, and mix it together to feed the sick and convalescent Schnauzer.

Schnauzers are not pure carnivores like cats. They can survive on a vegetarian diet because they convert plant proteins and fats into the elements they need to maintain their bodies. But if you want your dog to be a monk and feed him a full vegetarian diet, be sure to consult a veterinarian or professional first, because vegetarian diets are generally more difficult to provide all nutrients.
