Dog's diet: instead of dry food. Feeding a dog - recommendations and useful tips on proper natural feeding of a dog: Is it possible for a dog to kefir or not?

Preface

Proper natural food for a dog is mostly a monotonous, species-specific diet that does not require heat treatment, mainly consisting of fermented milk products of medium fat content, raw meat or raw offal (heart, tripe, kidneys, etc.) and plant foods (vegetables and some unsweetened fruits) in raw form, as well as in the form of bran from cereals as an additive to the main diet.

Actually, cereals (porridge and other flour products) should not be present in the dog’s diet. Porridges and products made from or with the addition of flour contain easily digestible carbohydrates, which can cause disruption of the intestinal microflora, as well as a decrease in resistance, in all dogs and cats, which are known to be carnivores. The state of the animal’s health directly depends on the state of the intestine, which is a key organ not only in digestion, but also in providing the defense system (resistance and immunity of the body). Thus, the presence of dysbiosis in the intestines, which is facilitated by disturbances in the diet, can lead to the development of a host of pathological processes, including an increased tendency to allergies, disruption of the functioning of internal organs, the occurrence of a number of chronic inflammatory diseases and obesity, often associated with each other.

The health and resistance of animals depends very much on nutrition; the state of the gastrointestinal tract and healthy intestinal microflora play a very important role in this. If your dog's diet includes cereal or commercial dry food that contains from 40 to 55% grains, corn or sweet potatoes, then you cannot expect normal, healthy intestinal microflora. However, even with a natural diet, digestive disorders are possible, indicating a painful condition of the dog.

Meat in a dog's diet

The main meat in a dog’s diet is lean beef, maybe not the first grade. It is not necessary or even advisable to feed your dog tenderloin and other high-quality meats. It is allowed to feed dogs of all ages lamb, horse meat, and rabbit meat, given the high calorie content of lamb and rabbit meat. It is not recommended to give pork.

Chicken, turkey and their offal can also be given, but individually, paying attention to the reaction from the digestive system and skin. It is not advisable to feed chicken skin to dogs.

Meat, both beef and chicken, is always given raw, pre-frozen; there is no need to rinse it with boiling water or carry out other heat treatment on the meat. Meat should not be ground into mince.

By-products and beef tripe

Meat feeding a dog can include not only meat, but also by-products (kidneys, heart, udder, by-products of chickens, turkeys, etc.), which can completely replace meat. By-products must be raw. It should be borne in mind that offal is a less nutritious component of the meat diet compared to meat, but at the same time the udder is significantly higher in calories than meat

The exception is liver and lung; these by-products are not recommended to be given to the dog often, since not everyone tolerates raw liver equally well, and it makes no sense to treat it thermally. However, many people successfully use these components in the diet of dogs and cats. Unprocessed, unpeeled beef tripe deserves special attention; it is often given to dogs. You can start introducing meat into your diet with tripe, then gradually adding beef. Cleaned tripe is simply a lighter organ meat. However, not all dogs tolerate one or another meat component equally well, so if an ingredient is intolerant, which is manifested by diarrhea or vomiting, it should be removed from the diet, as well as if other components of the dog’s natural diet are not accepted.

Of course, one can become infected with one or another disease from one or another product, but rare cases of infection from raw, untested and not frozen meat do not allow one to be afraid of feeding a dog a raw product. It is unlikely that any veterinarian will be able to recall a case of infection from anything from meat. In addition, the concentration of hydrochloric acid in the stomach of carnivores is higher than in humans and is sufficient to perform its disinfecting functions in relation to raw meat and fish. We also do not recommend purchasing meat “from hand” at the Poultry Market, where you can buy products obtained from a known sick animal, and even freezing it will not help, and heat treatment of meat reduces the nutritional value of the product for the dog.

Fish in a dog's diet

Dogs can be given raw fillets of sea and oceanic frozen fish, not bony, low-fat varieties, replacing meat with seafood in meat feeding 2-3 times a week. However, it is not recommended to constantly feed fish.

There are several questions that are often asked regarding fish feeding:

1. Feeding fish leads to thiamine deficiency due to the thiaminase it contains;

The problem with thiaminase is relevant for animal farms, where there is mainly a mono-diet and if you feed only raw fish, there will be hypovitaminosis B1, and therefore this is almost not relevant for a home mixed diet.

Dairy products

Dogs can be given fermented milk products with a fat content of up to 9%; not everyone tolerates such fat content well. In many dogs, a fat content of cottage cheese of more than 2% can already cause loose stools. But low-fat dairy products should not be given either.

Also, loose stool may be associated with the brand of kefir, which must be selected more individually for sensitive dogs. Ryazhenka should not be given to dogs, nor should yoghurts with fruit or sugar.

The most optimal fermented milk products are cottage cheese with a fat content of up to 5-9%, kefir with a fat content of 3.5%, and yogurt, with a short shelf life of up to 7 days.

Using Evitalia and Narine starter cultures based on pasteurized milk, you can make a healthy fermented milk product that is useful not only for dogs and cats, but also for humans, and feed it either separately or together with cottage cheese.

Dividing dog food into fermented milk and meat

The main components of the diet are fermented milk products at one feeding and raw vegetables and raw meat with a small amount of butter at another. As mentioned above, vegetables can, if possible, be fed to the dog separately.

This means that fermented milk feeding can include either kefir alone, cottage cheese alone, or kefir with cottage cheese, curdled milk, yogurt, etc. It is advisable to give fermented milk products with a short shelf life, up to 7 days. Only bran and raw eggs can be added to dairy products no more than 2-3 times a week.

Meat feeding may include raw meat, offal or fish. You cannot mix the components of meat and fermented milk feeding with each other.

Vegetables in a dog's diet

Dogs can be fed most vegetables: carrots, white cabbage, bell peppers, pumpkin, zucchini, beets, cucumbers. It is useful to give greens: parsley, dill, lettuce.

Vegetables may be present in the diet as a mono option, or there may be several types of vegetables, but one type of vegetable is quite sufficient, with the exception of cabbage and cucumbers.

Once a week, it is advisable to give the dog a raw clove of garlic, 2-3 times a week a few tablespoons of sauerkraut, which is very rich in ascorbic acid.

Greens and vegetables should always be given raw, finely chopped or grated on a regular coarse grater. In the summer, when keeping a dog at a dacha, you can feed any edible greens, including young shoots of steamed nettle growing in the garden. If the animal eats plants and fruits on its own, then you don’t need to add any extra.

Vegetables and greens should always be given only with meat feeding or separately. There is no need to mix raw plant foods with components of a fermented milk diet, with the exception of bran, which goes well with meat and dairy foods.

As a treat and as a source of raw fiber, dogs can be given vegetables or unsweetened fruit to chew on.

Bran (about bran, see below) in a dog’s diet can complement or even replace raw vegetables, especially in cases where the addition of vegetables leads to various types of indigestion (flatulence, vomiting, diarrhea).

Consistency of dog food

Dogs should not be given food in the form of minced meat or puree. The meat should be cut into pieces, hard vegetables grated on a large regular grater, greens and lettuce finely chopped. Dogs love to chew apples on their own; bran can be added to wet food, both dairy and meat. Dogs and cats do not chew food, but swallow it if the piece corresponds to the size of the animal or they bite off a piece that is accessible for swallowing - this is physiological for them and does not cause harm. In addition, ready-made ground meat contains too much fat. Even if the dog has few or no teeth, food can be given in chunks.

Eggs in a dog's diet

Eggs can be given raw, both chicken and quail, adding to milk feeding 2-3 times a week. Both puppies and adult dogs can and should be given both the yolk and the white, without separating.

Bran

Bran in a dog's diet, like vegetables, is a source of fiber and therefore it is recommended to add them to the dog's diet along with vegetables or replacing them.

The main advantage of bran is its high content of dietary fiber (fiber), which enhances peristalsis, regulates and improves the condition of intestinal microflora.

Bran can be purchased in bulk at health stores, pharmacies or grocery stores and added in this form to both fermented milk and meat feeding.

But fermented milk is preferable, since bran shows its maximum effect when it absorbs liquid and swells. Then, once in the stomach, the bran does not undergo any changes and, retaining water, enters the intestines, accelerating intestinal motility.

Or you can buy bran in the form of crispy sticks or bran plates and pre-soak them. You should not buy bran products, including crispy sticks with added salt. But at the same time, you can give bran combined with fiber from carrots and other vegetables. The amount of bran (in dry form) for a dog weighing 20-25 kg is 1 tsp. without a slide added to each feeding. The dose can be varied for greater effectiveness or for high sensitivity.

Oil in a dog's diet

Dogs can add different types of oils to their meat diet: olive, unrefined sunflower, pumpkin, flaxseed, etc., but exotic ones should be avoided. The main oils are unrefined sunflower and olive. Vegetable oils are added to the bowl where there are plant components of food (vegetables) in a dose of a few drops for a small dog and up to a tablespoon for a large dog.

Fruits and dried fruits

There should be no sweet fruits in a dog’s diet; dogs simply should not be given sweets. Almost all fruits are sweet, the only acceptable fruit is a green apple that is not too sweet, although there is no need to prohibit the dog from eating berries at the dacha.

Bones in a dog's diet

Raw bone is an important source of calcium and phosphorus; they are part of the canine diet and, of course, bones can be fed to dogs that have a full-fledged dental apparatus and do not have chronic diseases of the gastrointestinal tract. Large dogs are fed the ends (epiphyses) of bones; smaller dogs can be given spongy raw chicken bones: brisket, neck. It is not recommended to give boiled bones to dogs; they are difficult to digest, as they can cause intestinal obstruction.

Prebiotic and probiotic environment in the intestines. Carbohydrates in the diet

Probiotics are preparations based on living “good” microorganisms: lactobacilli and bifidobacteria, which remain viable when passing through the gastrointestinal tract, multiply in it and suppress the development of pathogenic bacteria.

Prebiotics are completely indigestible food ingredients that serve as a substrate, a nutrient medium for the growth and life of beneficial microorganisms in the intestine, and also stimulate its work.

In the absence of a prebiotic environment (indigestible fiber), the number of beneficial bacteria sharply decreases, since they lack the prebiotic environment they need for nutrition and their share in the intestinal microenvironment will be occupied by pathogenic strains of E. coli, yeast, etc., which, in essence, is a dysbacteriosis.

Cereals, bread, pasta are easily digestible carbohydrates (starch); dogs need complex carbohydrates of another type, which are found in raw vegetables or bran and which dogs and cats cannot digest. Carnivores cannot extract energy from complex carbohydrates and crude fiber; ruminants and herbivores “specialize” in this. It is raw vegetables and bran, or rather the indigestible fiber they contain, that create a prebiotic environment in the dog’s intestines, which is the basis and substrate for creating a probiotic environment and the formation of healthy intestinal microflora.

Moreover, if the dog has proper natural nutrition, then the dog, even without the use of probiotics, will eventually develop the correct probiotic environment and intestinal microflora, but only if the animal is healthy and free from congenital and acquired diseases of the gastrointestinal tract that require treatment and independent of the correct diet. It is for this reason that introducing probiotics into the diet of a dog that receives cereal or dry food does not bring the desired long-term results.

The role of the prebiotic environment in a dog’s diet is played by raw vegetables, which are best (but not necessarily) given to animals as a separate feeding, and also, when added to a dairy or meat diet, these components are compatible.

It is better to give dogs veterinary probiotics, only if they are not available, then try using human ones. It is possible to take probiotics prophylactically once every 3-4 months, but prebiotics must enter the digestive system constantly, especially since this is not a medicine, but a regular component of the diet.

At the same time, you need to understand that if the dog has proper nutrition and the dog is healthy, then without the use of probiotics in the intestines, over time, a healthy intestinal microflora will form on its own.

Is it possible to mix dry food and wet natural or canned food?

Mixing different types of feeding does not have any advantages over the strict principles of feeding a dog, in fact, dry food is designed to be fed exclusively. If you add other components throughout the day, then an imbalance is guaranteed. In addition, combining diets does not make any sense: either convenience or a natural diet.

Vitamins and mineral supplements

An adult dog that receives proper natural nutrition does not necessarily need to be supplemented with any vitamin and mineral supplements at all times. In spring and early summer, you can add dry yeast to your food, which is a natural complex of vitamins. You can also give seaweed (kelp) once a year as a natural source of vitamins, but you must take into account the possibility of an individual allergic reaction.

At the same time, puppies and adult dogs need vitamins and minerals during pregnancy and lactation. You can read more in this publication.

The total volume of food from all feedings per day is calculated using the formula: up to 6 months. 6-7% and older than 6 months. 3-3.5% of body weight (body weight is calculated without taking into account body fat, of course, approximately).

The resulting daily volume of food is divided in half between 50% fermented milk products, 50% raw meat and everything related to meat (beef offal, poultry, fish), raw plant foods are given ad libitum, but approximately 15-20% on the volume of meat portion. For example, for an average dog weighing 20 kg, you can eat a medium carrot, a cabbage leaf, two teaspoons of bran, a medium apple, etc. per day. Please note that vegetables and bran are supplements to the protein diet and are not included in the calculated percentages (6-8% and 3-4%).

An example of calculating the volume of food for a dog weighing 15 kg, age 6 months and older:

15x0.04*=0.6 kg. or 600 gr. Of these, 300 gr. this is cottage cheese and kefir, which will make up fermented milk feeding and meat feeding will consist of 300 grams. raw meat, to which about 100 grams are added. raw grated vegetables and 1-2 tsp. unrefined vegetable oil.

An example of calculating the amount of food for a dog weighing 15 kg, less than 6 months old:

15x0.07*=1 kg. or 1000 gr. Of these, 500 gr. This is cottage cheese and kefir, which will make up fermented milk feeding and meat feeding will consist of 500 grams. raw meat, to which about 100-150 grams are added. raw grated vegetables and 1-2 tsp. unrefined vegetable oil.

* — Coefficient obtained by dividing 4 and 7% by 100

This formula is not absolute and mandatory, the dog’s feeding regimen, and the amount of food can also vary depending on the physiological state (pregnancy, breed tendency to be overweight, the presence of hormonal disorders, etc.); age: for old and aging animals, the amount of food is reduced to 2.5-3% of weight; from physical activity (duration of walking, office work, swimming); the animal’s habitat (apartment, open enclosure); time of year (more in winter, less in summer); other individual characteristics, etc. Fasting days without meat at all, but also without increasing the dose of dairy foods, are also welcome.

Are there breed specific characteristics of a dog's diet?

There are no fundamental features for a healthy dog ​​of any breed, regardless of size and anatomical discrepancies with the ancestor of canines - the wolf. A sick animal may need correction, but this requires individual work with the pet.

Afterword

As you can see, among the indicated food components there are no dry or wet commercial feeds, cereals in the form of porridges, breads or other carbohydrate foods. They are not recommended for dogs, just as feeding sweet, sugary fruits and everything else is not recommended.

The main mistake that owners make in feeding dogs is overfeeding. Even if the recommended components are kept, but their volume is greater than the norm, then this is as harmful as feeding the dog unacceptable products.

You should follow a simple rule that works in most cases - if after eating food a dog or cat leaves any amount of it in the bowl, this means that the animal is already overfed. The bowl should not be constantly filled, as is often the case. Only an animal with a moderate feeding instinct will not overeat in conditions of unlimited access to food.

An animal that experiences health problems (diarrhea, regular vomiting) while eating natural food is sick and requires treatment. Switching to dry food will only adapt the animal to the disease, and will not relieve it. This is like a diet that makes life easier, which has the right to be used in the practice of a veterinarian, especially in cases where the animal’s health condition is irreparable or the doctor is not able to cope with the pathology with a natural diet. Owners need to understand this.

Therefore, the question - What to feed a dog can be answered this way: only natural food that contains everything necessary for the body of a carnivorous animal. And all the talk about the domestication of the dog is nothing more than talk: the dog, like the wolf, was and will remain a dog and a wolf. It is also necessary to know that the recommendations of breeders or felinologists, as well as the popular literature written by them on keeping and feeding cats, have nothing to do with objectively correct methods of feeding, because the reason for such recommendations is partly due to ignorance and lack of understanding of the biological nature of dogs and cats, and, partly to reduce the cost or simplify the maintenance of the animal.

If you follow all the above feeding rules, your pet will live a long and healthy life.

Health to you and your little brothers.

Everyone has doubts about the correct feeding of their pet. Have you just purchased a puppy? Is your family's favorite expecting offspring? Is your dog already of advanced age?

Who benefits from milk, sour cream, cottage cheese?

Let's look into this milky, sensitive and very interesting question!

Is it worth giving?

The question of whether a dog should be given milk for humans arises because milk contains lactose. For its absorption, an enzyme is required, which is produced by each organism in its own way.

Lactose– milk carbohydrate (from 2 to 8% by weight). This is a complex sugar. During digestion, it is broken down by an enzyme that is secreted in the small intestine - lactase, into glucose and galactose. These simple sugars are absorbed into the bloodstream.

The ability to produce the lactose enzyme in us and our pets is individual and unique. For some, it persists throughout their lives. But, most often, with age, less and less enzyme is produced, therefore, the ability to break down and absorb milk is lost.

IMPORTANT. In puppies of small breeds, the production of the enzyme for digesting lactose decreases already from 1.5 months, in puppies of large breeds - after 3 months.

Fermented milk products contain significantly less lactose:

The value of dairy products remains obvious: beneficial lactic bacteria, calcium, protein. All this can be included in your dog's diet in the form of fermented milk products that do not contain lactose.

Is it possible for adult dogs and puppies

Milk

It is better not to give milk (especially cow's milk) to adult dogs. As we have already explained, due to the lack of an enzyme that breaks down lactase. Small puppies should also not be given store-bought cow's milk, because... it is very different from the mother's and can lead to diarrhea and dehydration.

The most useful option: this goat milk, it does not cause allergies and is completely absorbed by the dog’s digestive system. In addition, it contains easily digestible fats and has an anti-inflammatory effect. It is often prescribed for dogs with gastrointestinal diseases.

Milk porridge

Significantly higher in calories than porridge with water. Due to the “slow” carbohydrates that cereals are rich in, they are absorbed more slowly, while maintaining a feeling of fullness. They are useful for containing magnesium, selenium, calcium, and zinc in cereals. Milk porridge is good for puppies. For adult dogs, it is better to cook porridge with sour milk..

Semolina porridge with milk is not suitable for our pets! It is considered the most useless of all - it contains very few vitamins and nutrients. But there is one point: semolina porridge is very good for fattening weak, skinny puppies. It is quite high in calories and its structure helps make it liquid. Liquid semolina porridge with milk is given at first in 30-50 g doses, gradually increasing the rate to 200-250 g. per day in 2-3 doses.

Feeding semolina porridge helps puppies gain weight up to a maximum of 3 months, but after that there is no need for it - it is better to switch to buckwheat and oatmeal.

Dairy products

As we noted, cow's milk is more of an enemy than a friend for our ponytails. However, its derivatives are useful - fermented milk products: cottage cheese, yogurt, kefir, etc. They retain all the beneficial substances that milk is rich in, but unlike fermented milk, it does not burden the dog’s digestion and is perfectly absorbed!

Kefir and fermented baked milk

Easily digestible by both puppies and adult dogs. Contains bacteria and microelements that help improve digestion and stimulate metabolism. Equally useful for dogs and people. It is better to give dogs and puppies low-fat kefir to avoid causing diarrhea. For babies, kefir is useful during the transition from mother's milk to the diet of an independent dog. For aging animals, daily consumption of kefir can be beneficial.

Cheese

The usefulness of cheese as a fermented milk product is beyond doubt: the protein in it is soluble, and therefore is absorbed by the body almost completely (98%), cheese is a source of vitamins A and B, calcium, and phosphorus. And most importantly, it contains no lactose.

And yet, cheese should not be given to our adult tailed friends and puppies. And all because cheese is too fatty and contains a lot of salt. Given its high fat content, this treat can be used as a reward for an adult dog during training. Choose a product without preservatives. Do not feed smoked, processed or blue cheeses.

Yogurt

Contains calcium, magnesium, phosphorus acidophilus bacteria. Beneficial bacteria can fill a dog's stomach by 70%. This helps to avoid intestinal disorders and gas formation. For diarrhea and candidiasis, yogurt becomes an essential part of a strict diet and helps alleviate the suffering of the animal.

Acidophilus is involved in the production of folic acid and niacin, which help digest food properly.

Cottage cheese

Essential for puppies and very useful for adult dogs. It is a source of calcium and protein. A small pet can be given cottage cheese instead of one feeding daily; for an adult four-legged friend, experts advise giving cottage cheese twice a week. The high content of amino acids ensures not only the functioning of the gastrointestinal tract, but also has a beneficial effect on the nervous system and mental activity of the dog.

Sour cream

The product is fatty enough to be included in your pet's daily diet. It is acceptable to use low-fat sour cream in combination with cottage cheese, kefir, as a treat for a pregnant bitch or a source of vitamin B to strengthen the immune system, a source of potassium to ensure acid-base balance. Sufficient for puppies is the consumption of low-fat sour cream one tablespoon twice a week.

Ice cream

Ice cream contains ingredients whose regular consumption can lead to serious illness. These are sugar, milk fats, palm oil, chocolate, and various preservatives. Consumption of lactose leads to indigestion and diarrhea, protein - to rashes and itchy skin, chocolate - to rapid breathing and vomiting. To prevent food from causing unpleasant consequences, the temperature of the dish should be close to the dog’s body temperature. Ice cream also does not correspond to a number of healthy products in this parameter.

You can’t give ice cream to a dog or a puppy (especially)!

IMPORTANT. Scientists have proven that the reaction to eating chocolate is inversely proportional to the size of your pet - the smaller the animal, the more serious the consequences.

Visual table

Lactose intolerance manifests itself in dogs in the same way as in humans: bloating and abdominal pain, diarrhea, nausea and vomiting. Unfortunately, there are no medications to treat these symptoms in dogs. Therefore, be careful, observe your pet’s reaction to drinking milk and make a decision about the possibility of including dairy products in your four-legged friend’s diet on your own or with a veterinarian.

So, let's remember:

• Milk porridges are good at any age if they are cooked with sour milk.
• Fermented milk products are especially beneficial for a dog’s body.
• It is safe to choose low-fat dairy products.
• Keep an eye on quality. Choose natural.

Training video

Useful videos from an experienced veterinarian who will tell you whether puppies or dogs can be given milk and up to what age?

Whether or not to use dairy products when feeding a puppy or an adult dog is up to each owner to decide for himself. We wanted to help you make an informed, thoughtful decision. And, of course, we are interested to know how useful the information we prepared for you was.

Share your experience and take part in the discussion. Probably, your personal experience will be useful for dog owners and you will help avoid problems for your like-minded people who sincerely love these cute, funny, strong and loyal tailed friends of man.

Unfortunately, not many dog ​​owners know what can and cannot be given to a dog. This also applies to dairy/fermented milk products.

In this article we will tell you about Is it possible to give a dog kefir?.

Of course, you can give your dog kefir. But, as usual, there is one “but” here. It is advisable to give only low-fat kefir, otherwise you can upset the dog’s stomach, and instead of the dog getting a tasty treat and being happy, it will feel bad, and you will have to take the dog for a walk more often so that it doesn’t do “business” at home, yes and putting your stomach in order is not a very quick task, and it’s also expensive.

I would like to especially note that you cannot give milk to a dog, even skim milk, because, as it turns out, dogs tolerate lactose very poorly. And along with an upset stomach, you can also develop an allergy, for which your dog will also have to be treated. So don't tempt fate and don't give your pet milk.

What are the benefits of kefir?

Kefir is beneficial for dogs to almost the same extent as for humans. The beneficial bacteria and microelements it contains help improve digestion and, of course, metabolism. But, there is one “but” - if you feed your dog dry food, then you should not overuse kefir and give it as a separate food. It is enough to give 1-2 tablespoons per day along with food, but only if the dog does not eat food without anything. If you feed natural food, then you should not think that kefir will replace all sources of calcium for you. Even cottage cheese cannot replace special tablets sold in pet stores, because cottage cheese and/or kefir do not contain vitamin D, as well as other microelements that help absorb calcium, and which, of course, are not found in porridges with meat. To put it bluntly, most of the cottage cheese and kefir (in terms of calcium) that enter the dog’s body leaves naturally, without being absorbed.

Tricks for feeding a picky dog

Many dog ​​breeders, especially those who switch their dog from natural food to dry food, are faced with the fact that the dog eats food without hunting. And here kefir can come to the rescue. Of course, giving your dog a glass of kefir is not necessary! For an average dog (about 15-25 kilograms in weight), you can pour a tablespoon of low-fat kefir along with the food, mix it with the food and give it to the dog. Most often, the dog is led to this and eats the food more willingly. But gradually the amount of kefir needs to be reduced, otherwise the dog will get used to such a treat, and will stop perceiving it as something tasty, and will again begin to be picky.

It is recommended to add prescribed vitamins and probiotics to “curd feeding” for puppies.

A puppy under one year old, especially if he is a large breed, can be given and occasionally, but without getting carried away with it. Excess calcium leads to hypercalcemia, a very unpleasant disease.

Reference: is a fermented milk product to which a solution of calcium chloride is added (in droppers, ampoules, bottles) or calcium lactate in powder. You can buy it at any pharmacy. This product contains more calcium than usual, promotes healthy growth, strengthens bones and teeth, and maintains muscle tone in the puppy. It is given to prevent rickets.

Recipes with cottage cheese for animals

The main rule is not to mix cottage cheese with meat, but you can mix it with (or) vegetables. Try these recipes:

What if you feel sick from what you eat?

After eating cottage cheese, your dog may develop diarrhea. If the product was stale or of poor quality, poisoning is likely. If these occur, contact your veterinarian. You can help yourself like this:

1. For diarrhea- give
