Dog food can be roughly divided into animal feed and plant drink, and mixed feeding is the best choice. Animal feed is palatable and digestible, with high content of protein and vitamins; Plant feed is rich in sugar and vitamins, but rich in fiber, so it is forbidden to eat and feed. Common dog foods include fish, meat, eggs, milk, vegetables, grains and canned food. ① The nutritional value of fish is very high, and fishbones, fish bones and bones can almost be digested and absorbed by dogs. It is an ideal dog food, which has won the dog's preference. But there are many parasites in the fish, so you should cook it before feeding it. Animal meat Animal meat is the most delicious dog food, and adding appropriate amount of calcium, phosphorus, sulfur, vitamin A, vitamin D, bone meal, blood meal or poultry offal is impeccable quality dog food. ③ Eggshell is a good source of calcium, and breeders should pound and grind it before feeding it to dogs. Eggs with eggshells removed are still very popular with dogs. But eggs lack vitamin C and carbohydrates. (4) Dairy products are also delicious foods, lacking iron and vitamin D. Most dogs have an appetite for dairy products, and some are resistant to them, which is easy to cause diarrhea. 5 Vegetables and vegetables should not be eaten raw, but frying is easy to destroy valuable B vitamins, so pay special attention to the heat. ⑥ Grain can be used as basic feed, with starch content as high as 70%-75%, which can provide abundant energy. Other nutrients are low, so it is very difficult to use and absorb them. Therefore, it is often made into shredded cooked food to feed, and it is often matched with other feeds when feeding. 7 canned food canned food specially made for dogs is mainly processed from fish, meat and various products. All kinds of dog food are safe, delicious, convenient and affordable, and it is a potential dog food industry. Dog hair gets dirty easily and needs to be bathed regularly. Usually once a week in summer and once every two weeks in winter. Just wipe it with a wet towel when it is dirty. Take a bath with warm water, not cold water, but pet shampoo, not shampoo and soap, and wash it refreshing. When taking a bath, plug your ears with cotton to avoid water in your ears and cause ear canal inflammation. Put the shampoo into the water and stir it evenly, then put the dog into the water to take a bath. After taking a shower, dry the coat with a dry towel, and then blow dry with a hair dryer while combing. Don't let the sun dry or air dry naturally, which will easily make the dog sick. Pay attention to blow-drying the undercoat, focusing on the neck, armpit, groin, limbs and fingers, otherwise skin diseases will easily occur. Before understanding the necessity of bathing dogs, let's first understand the skin structure and physiological characteristics of dogs. Dog's skin is less resistant to external stimuli than people. Human skin epidermis has 10- 15 layers, PH5.5 (slightly acidic) and sweat glands, while dog skin epidermis has only 3-5 layers, PH7.5 (neutral), and the skin metabolic cycle is short. These decide that no matter how good people use shampoo, it is not suitable for dogs. Too frequent bathing, incomplete blow-drying, easy to damage sebaceous glands, rough and dull fur, easy to get skin diseases. Some owners are particularly fond of hygiene, and it is obviously wrong to bathe their dogs many times a day or a week. In addition, the hygiene of the dog's lips and face can't be ignored. Wash it with a towel after eating. Don't forget to clean the anus and urethral orifice area.
