HOW MUCH FOOD SHOULD I FEED MY DOG ?
Are you confused too about what and how much to feed your dog? If yes, then you are definitely at the right place because here, in this article, am going to solve all of your ambiguities related to feeding protocols for dogs of all sizes. Have you ever noticed why there are specifications for feeding your animals? Because just like human beings, nutritional requirements for animals also depend on their height, weight, and level of physical activity, when they are fed without considering their requirements their physical, mental, and even emotional health may be affected adversely. Now let’s continue with this very important topic How much food should I feed my dog which will provide all possible solutions for the problems you are facing. Why does the correct amount of food matters? When you fail to fulfill the nutritional requirements of your fur babies then they may get serious health issues. Nutritional requirements don’t only refer to under nutrition, over-nutrition also can be caused due to irresponsible feeding practices and ultimately it causes obesity which itself is a disease. Malnutrition in dogs may cause: How to find out the correct amount of food? As I already have discussed the right amount of Food for your dog greatly depends on its size, weight, and physical activity. Along with these factors type of food and the number of meals also matter. You can find out caloric requirements in 2 ways, the first one is by taking a look at a feeding guide present on your dog food’s label and the second one is by calculating the calories with the help of a calorie calculator for dogs by putting its current weight along with physical activity but keep it in your mind that your dog’s nutritional requirements may vary 20-25% more or less than according to the calculator. In active or senior activity level 15–30 minutes of exercise each day; or over 7 years old Average activity level 30–60 minutes of exercise each day Active Activity Level 60–120 minutes of exercise each day Whatever way you follow, just always keep in touch with your Veterinarian for making the right decisions for your beloved ones. What Should Be in Your Dog’s Bowl? To maintain an ideal body weight, your dog needs complete and balanced nutrition to meet the needs associated with his size, age, and lifestyle. For example, a dog having an active lifestyle must get higher calorie and protein levels, while less active dogs may require food that is lower in calories. How much food should I feed my dog according to its size? In general, dogs should be fed at least twice a day. Breed, age, size, and energy level all contribute to assessing how often dogs should eat and how much. Dogs with medical issues or specific dietary needs may require modified diet plans and guidelines on what they eat. Therefore, talk to your veterinarian about your dog’s lifestyle and eating patterns to make sure you’re meeting its nutritional needs. According to me, fresh dog food is always a better option than dry kibble or wet canned food. You should always try to feed them freshly made food at least 2-3 times per week if are unable to feed them daily. Requirements of dogs to fulfill their appetite according to their sizes are categorized below: a) How much should I feed my puppy? Since puppies are in their growing phase, they need more calories than adult dogs. Puppy nutrition is crucial as the quality and longevity of life depend on how that individual was fed when he was a baby and how well or poorly his immune system and body have developed. Puppies must have a specific amount of calcium in their diet, otherwise, they are prone to develop metabolic bone diseases such as arthritis. Puppies need small, frequent meals. For the first few months, they will need small, frequent meals throughout the day as they transition from their mother’s milk to solid food. But when they grow to four months old, they can begin eating about three times per day, and after that, puppies can instantly graduate to twice-a-day feedings. Generally, it is recommended to feed them every 6–8 hours which becomes approximately three to four times per day. It makes it easier for them to digest quickly and also to meet their nutritional requirements, otherwise, they can show signs of low blood sugar levels causing fatigue, weakness, muscle tremors, and even sometimes seizures. However, sometimes we care a little not much and feed them more than their requirements which causes obesity, so be careful about that pals! Toy-breed puppies typically need 4 to 6 meals per day for the first three months. Medium-breed puppies will need three meals per day, and large-breed puppies need 3 to 4 meals per day. Though the breed is an important consideration because metabolism and energy levels can vary up to 30%. Since puppies need more calories compared to adult dogs due to their activeness but these calories are reduced once they start growing so keep checking their requirements from 3-12 months. b) How much should I feed my adult dog? Don’t let your dog trick you into getting more meals per day compared to its requirements by making adorable puppy dog faces. Most dogs only require two meals per day, but if you find your dog barking and demanding more food then occasionally a healthy treat may be offered. The point to ponder is not to feed your dog more than recommendations. Food labels can be misleading or confusing. Food labels can also over or under-calculate your canine’s requirements so the best way is to first determine its weight and feed accordingly. Adult Dog Size (lbs) Dry Food Feeding Amount (Cups) 3-12 lbs 1/3 to 1 13-20 lbs 1 to 1-1/3 21-35 lbs 1-1/3 to 2 26-50 lbs 2 to 2-2/3 51-75 lbs 2-2/3 to 3-1/3 76-100 lbs 3-1/3 to 4-1/4 100 lbs plus 4-1/4 plus 1/4 cup for each 10 lbs
Man’s Best Friend – For a Reason
They say dogs choose their owners. Which is why, when a certain two week old, jet black puppy waddled up to my family from his whole litter, looked at each of us with his melting, baleful eyes, and proceeded to urinate on the floor, we knew we didn’t need to choose which puppy we’d be going home with. He had chosen for us. Skibo was a mix of a Great Dane and a Boxer and had both the joviality and moodiness associated with both breeds. He was tall, lean, built like a Labrador, and easily one of the best highlights of our household for the ten years that he lived. While he was a puppy, a memory that continues to sit at the forefront of my mind is how, after I was back home from school, I’d immediately find him, scoop him up in my arms and carry him out to the garden while he yawned widely, wondering what was going on. I’d then plop him under the shade of a tree and sit with him while he would roam around me, never stepping out of the tree’s shadow. I would then relay to him (and only him) how my day at school had been and generally talk to him nonstop while he allowed himself to be distracted by just about anything. This practice would continue on a daily basis up until his adult doggy years. I loved talking to him and sharing my thoughts and troubles and soon he too understood my mood, based on my voice,, and would react accordingly, from either grinning ear to ear if I sounded happy, or plopping his head on my lap and whining softly if I sounded sad. He was truly the perfect confidant because whatever I told him would ever be for his ears and his ears only. Having the genes that he did, Skibo was a dog with a lot of energy. I can still recall how very routinely, every single day at 5 pm, he would get my attention in some shape or form, to make sure I took him outside to play. Even if I was asleep at the time, he would gently sniff at my face and give me gentle licks until I woke up. Playing with him was always entertaining and there were lots of things he loved to do. One of his personal favorites would be for me to command him to stay, while I slowly walked away from him and the second I made a run for it, he would chase me down and attempt to topple me over. Another game he loved playing was to chase after something I tossed, like a ball or a stick or a Frisbee, and then force me to chase after him in order to get it back. This unfortunately resulted in a lot of broken and chewed-up toys. Suffice to say, Skibo was an incredibly important member of our household of eight. Even up to the point where we used to celebrate his birthday every first of February. We would bake him a cake or make him a meal of his favorite meats and for that one day each year, we’d allow him to stand up on his hind legs and eat off of the dining table, while we sang happy birthday. The excitement in our voices as we sang, fueled his own excitement and he would chow down on his threat at record speed, sometimes even in time to join in the birthday song with a few barks of his own. Being such a lively, eccentric, and overall good boy, his last year with us was brutal. About ten months prior to his passing, at the age of about nine years, he was diagnosed with a giant cyst near his stomach that had to be surgically removed. I will never forget the look of fear and confusion he gave me and my sister before he was given anesthesia and wheeled into the surgical theatre. It was gut-wrenching. Fortunately, the surgery was a success, and we got to see our droopy-eyed boy wake up to us. The months that followed, however, didn’t make things easier on him. His old age, coupled with the surgery, took a toll and he was lethargic and barely ate anything. Some of our final memories with him were holding and stroking his paws while he had to be hooked onto an IV machine to be given some kind of nutrition. We took these moments to thank him and let him know how much joy he had brought into our lives. One morning the day we feared most, dawned.was woken up, not by Skibo’s loving sniffs and licks, like he had done so many times before, but by my sister’s sobbing. I ran out to see my best friend getting ready to breathe his last. It was almost as if, he had hung in there until we had all shown up and had gotten a chance to say goodbye to each of us. We all crowded around him, ears in our eyes, making sure that he knew that he was surrounded by people who loved him. And then he was gone. I’m sorry for relaying such a sad story. But the point of it wasn’t to jerk tears. It was to pay homage to someone that selflessly lit up a portion of my life, for the entirety of his. It is to show the world what an amazing, fun-loving, and dependable friend, Skibo was and how much he meant to me and my family. Skibo, thank you for coming into our lives and bringing along so much sunshine and happiness with you. Rest Easy and in Peace.
My Dog Story
All my life, I have had dogs. Our dog matriarch was Diana; a lovely pure Rottweiler breed that was bought sometime in 1998. Diana was a powerful and faithful dog to the core. I still remember memories of her and how she usually barked to wane off strangers. Diana was posthumously named by my father, after Princess Diana of the British royal family. I don’t know where animals go when they die, but I keep hoping every day that Diana is at peace wherever she is. Well, this story is about Queen, my dog; a super brilliant brindle Boerboel. Queen is named after a dog of ours that died sometime in 2014, and funnily enough, asides from the fact that they are of different breed (the first Queen was a descendant of Diana. She was a Rottweiler breed), they have similar traits and attributes. I want to believe the name aligned in some sort of way. My dog Queen was adopted in September 2020 as a two-month-old puppy. Before then, we did not have dogs for about a year. Her arrival was emotional for us all and we did our best to make her feel at home. Weeks later, I had to travel back to the school from which I did not have plans of staying away for so long, unfortunately, I was away for a whole year! On returning, I became a stranger to Queen. The humiliation and embarrassment were something I did not really foresee, but then again, it was understandable. Dogs do not have as much cognition as humans. Queen was all grown up and kept barking incessantly at me. It was really awkward, and emotionally destabilizing, and pushed me to tears a couple of times. “Queen! Queen! It’s me. Remember?” I’d say while trying to offer her food, but she was not budging enough to even take a glance at me. She did not care that I was being friendly. All she thought – I presume – was that I was a stranger who was not supposed to be in the space as her “owners,” at the time. Did I stop trying? No. I kept coming closer and tried everything possible to pet her into at least, not barking when I passed. A few days later, I was in the kitchen chopping some vegetables when my peripheral vision caught a glimpse of an animal-like structure hanging around the door. I swiftly looked, and to my greatest surprise (read as fright), Queen was standing there. With her hazel eyes, camouflage skin, and stallion build, she gazed at me. I saw her ear move and her countenance got mean like she was ready for an attack. “Mummy!”, I screamed under my breath. I was scared that, if I shouted loudly, she would perceive me as a threat. I kept murmuring “mummy!” until she (Queen) came closer and began to sniff me. I stood still while following her every sniff with my eyes, set to run if things went beyond “sniffing.” Guess what? We became friends that day, and ever since, we have been buddies. Literally, I consider Queen to be my baby And I guess she loves me just as much because she never stays a minute without being close to me, once I’m around. You can imagine my excitement when I realized my baby (Queen) was going to have puppies! Wheeeeeew! She was taken for breeding on the second week of October 2021. It was really stress at the time, to find a male brindle Boerboel to do the job. Well, we finally found one; a slight variation in their tone though. Expectantly, I ensured Queen felt safe and secure during the period, as I kept monitoring her every move. I have been present while our dogs littered. It was not a new experience, but it felt surreal that one more time, I was going to witness our dog litter, let alone it being Queen. Usually, dogs begin to nest about a week before their EDD and even before then, in most cases. Our compound is spacious and has some sandy portions, like the flower pots at strategic corners. We also have a large garden seated pretty in the middle of the compound. Our dogs nested by digging sand, thereby creating shallow holes. They dug as many as six holes, at different corners. Queen did not nest, or maybe she did but I was skeptical to notice. I will tell you why. I had Queen stay indoors for her first six weeks. Later on, I was advised to let her stay outside so she could nest. But it was the Christmas season, and Queen was not having all the banger sound that filled the air. Whenever she heard the sound, she ran to enter inside and stay close to me. Other times, she would run to the guest room and dwell in one of the sofas there. Eight weeks in, we knew her delivery was going to be anytime soon, so we started making preparations. My mother noticed Queen was not nesting, so she helped her nest in the veranda, by placing some neat rags at the edge and luring Queen to stay there. Little did we know Queen had other plans. One faithful evening, people would blow bangers and knockouts in celebration of the Christmas festive. Queen, as usual, was not having it and kept running towards the door, in order to enter inside. But my mother asked we kept the door locked so Queen did not come inside. At this point, there was a mucus secretion from Queen’s vulva. That was a sign of labor. I was really concerned and internally questioned the worst that could happen if Queen was let to come in. So just like Queen, I had plans too. Fortunately for me, my mother went upstairs. Queen was still scuffing at the door when I rushed to open up for her to come in. It literally took less than ten seconds

Did you know that the best dog bowls can promote healthy digestion? It sounds far-fetched, but it is true! The best dog bowls can resist bacterial growth and would even help to make cleaning up after your pup easier. There are several factors to consider when choosing these top-tier dog bowls, including material, size, design, and durability. What makes for the best dog bowls? Let’s find out. What do I need to consider before buying the best dog bowls? Material Different types of materials are used in making dog bowls, each of which has pros and cons. The best material for dog bowls depends on their usage, durability and ease of cleaning. Plastic Dog bowls made from plastic are lightweight and quite handy. They usually have a rubber ring underneath that prevents them from slipping while your pup eats with gusto. Plastic bowls are inexpensive, and they come in different shapes and sizes. It is important to note that plastic dog bowls may be made from toxic chemicals. These chemicals get into your dog’s food and right into its body. While you may not notice your dog getting sick immediately, the chemical buildup in your canine’s system could lead to severe health problems over time. Plastic bowls are also prone to scratches and cuts that can harbour bacteria and become tough to clean. Stainless steel Dog bowls made from stainless steel are quite popular among dog owners because they are lightweight, easy to clean and hygienic. Stainless steel dog bowls are durable and are great for dogs who like to chew and gnaw at their bowls. They come in different sizes and designs – the most common being the double stainless steel bowls. You must pay special attention when picking the best stainless steel dog bowl. There are different grades of stainless steel, and their usage differs. Some manufacturers use lesser grades of stainless steel to make cheap bowls; while this may be favourable to your pocket, it may not be the best option for your canine. If a product doesn’t disclose the type of stainless steel grade it is made from, then it is most likely an inferior product. Avoid buying stainless bowls that aren’t dishwasher safe or are “for pet use only .”These are clear indications that they are made from inferior materials. The best dog food bowls should not contain any possible contaminants and must be of the best quality. Ceramic Bowls Dog bowls made from ceramics weigh more than most bowls. They are the perfect bowls for puppies who like to push their bowls around the floor while eating. Dog bowls made from ceramics are easy to clean and quick to dry. Most of them have clear sealant coatings that prevent bacteria from getting into the cracks and pores of the material. You want to make that you pick a ceramic dog bowl that is not cracked in any way. Due to their heavy weight, ceramic bowls break and chip easily when dropped. Bacteria can grow in these cracks, and a wash in the dishwasher may not be able to get rid of it. These bacteria could get into your canine’s food and cause health problems. If you notice a crack in your dog’s ceramic feeding bowl, it is time to replace it immediately. Size The size of your dog’s food and water bowls is essential when choosing the best dog bowls. Your dog’s breed and eating habits would determine the size of the food and water bowls you get. To get a feel for the right sizes, you need to calculate the approximate volume of food you serve your dog at each meal. The general rule of
How To Take Care Of Dogs In Your Home
A dog’s a man’s best friend. It’s no wonder they make the best companion. Whether you are thinking about getting a new puppy or you are a seasoned pet owner, the one thing that we all have in common is that we want to provide our furry babies with the best care available – that’s the only way to take care of your dog. Heck, if we had the power to make sure that they live as long as we do, we’d make that possible with a twirl of a wand. Sadly, we don’t. What we can do, however, is to make sure that they are well taken care of so that they can remain as healthy and content as possible. I know how exciting it is to pick up a new pup from the breeder or a shelter; it is delightful! This brings me to the question; do you know how to take care of a dog? The real work begins when you bring the dog home. With the right dog care tips, it can be an easy transition for you and your canine. Don’t get me wrong, you will yell, grit your teeth and say “bad dog” a million times. But, when they look up at you with those soulful trusting eyes, as if their entire world revolves around you- which it does – you’d melt into a puddle. Find out all you need to know about caring for your angel with fur in this dog care guide. Feed only the best meals – Feeding A Dog Dog plenty of water! This is an essential tip, and it should be noticed. They’re active and energetic creatures, so they need water available at all times. Always provide a fresh batch of clean drinking water. Another essential tip is the food and water bowl for your dog. Do you know that feeding bowls could cause health problems for your dog? When you use a feeding bowl made of low quality, bacteria hide in the cracks and contaminate the food. This could cause untold illnesses for your pooch. I highly recommend these Dog Feeding Bowls that are bacteria-resistant and safe to use for all breeds. You know how important eating the right food is for you. It’s the exact thing for your dog. High-quality meals that contain all the necessary ingredients for your dog to thrive are the only acceptable diet. If you don’t know where to start, you can find out more about the Best Dog Food here. You don’t want to take any chances When it comes to feeding a dog. When feeding your dog, the general rule of thumb is to do so twice a day. But you can observe your canine’s feeding routine to see how much food it consumes. Be sure not to overfeed it to avoid obesity and other health problems. Get A Reliable Vet – Dog Health Tips A healthy dog is a happy one. To ensure they remain in the best health, you should take your dogs to a trusted local veterinarian for proper checkups and vaccinations. Gut health, coat health, and teeth and gum health are some crucial aspects that a vet can advise. If you notice that your very active dog is unusually sluggish, that’s a telltale sign that something might be wrong. Other symptoms may include; vomiting, stooling, and anxiety. A trip to the vet is highly advised in such cases. Grooming – Dog Maintenance One important tip to providing the best care for your dog is to groom regularly. Your pup’s skin is supers sensitive; you want to ensure that the brush you use in grooming is safe on such delicate skin. The wrong one with sharp bristles can cut the skin and cause injuries and other skin problems. These premium quality grooming brushes would help you avoid that. While your dog may not require a bath daily, you should give them a bath when necessary. I know bathing a dog who absolutely detests water can be quite a chore, but when it comes to caring for your dog, you need to take bath time seriously. Remember to brush your dog’s teeth regularly, and trim those sharp claws. Remember to clean between the toes; fleas and ticks like to burrow down there. Provide Proper Bedding Dogs are territorial by nature. As much as they love to be in your business, they also love privacy. A dog bed is designed in a way that provides comfort for your dog and kills them to sleep. There are Dog Beds for seniors; they specially cater to their fragile joints and provide proper cushioning to prevent discomfort. There are also comforting beds for dogs with anxiety. These beds are designed to feel like a hug. Comforting beds are soft and warm and provide complete relaxation for your dog. I highly recommend these dog beds. Puppy-Proof Your Home Dogs are curious by nature; they get into everything and anything. You want to ensure that you take away any harmful object within their reach. Especially toxic chemicals like cleaning supplies, bug repellants, and others. The general idea is to remove anything that could be destroyed by your renegade canine. Training When ensuring that your dog gets the best care, you must train them. Teach them tricks, how to listen to commands, how to understand your hand signals, etc. Remember to potty train them. It is for your own benefit, trust me. As much as you love your dog, cleaning up the entire house every time they make a mess can and will be exhausting. Especially if you are busy and cannot wait on your dog all the time. Using dog treats when training is one of the most effective ways to get your dog to learn new treats. Now, this doesn’t mean that you should constantly go overboard and feed them treats. Too much could cause weight gain for your pooch. What do want to do is choose treats that contain the dietary nutrition
