In the process of raising a dog, the dog has obviously eaten a lot of food, but why is it still so thin? Many owners hope to gain weight for the dog, so how to make the dog fat? I would like to share with you some tips for gaining weight.
1. Strengthen nutritional supplements
The most important thing to increase your dog's weight is to strengthen nutritional supplements. You can feed your dog some nutritionally balanced foods, such as dog food with high nutritional value. You can also feed your dog some additional protein-rich foods, such as lean meat cooked in white water, chicken breast, beef, etc., as well as various canned meats. However, the owner needs to pay attention to the feeding amount, and it is recommended to feed once every 1-2 days. In addition, in addition to supplementing high-protein foods, owners should also pay attention to nutritional balance and the combination of meat and vegetables. When eating meat, they should also eat vegetables and fruits, such as pumpkins, apples, carrots, etc.
2. Exercise more
Adequate exercise can help dogs increase their appetite and make their bodies healthier. If the dog at home is very thin and doesn’t like to eat, you can take it out for more exercise. Although exercise consumes a lot of calories, it also eats a lot. It is beneficial to gain weight over time, and moderate exercise is also beneficial to the dog’s health.
3. Do a good job of deworming
If the dog eats rich food but still does not gain weight, then it is necessary to consider that there may be parasites in the body. At this time, you can take the dog to the pet hospital for a fecal examination. If the weight loss is caused by parasite infection, the dog must be dewormed in time. At the same time, you should also remember to deworm your dog on time in the future. It is generally recommended that dogs be dewormed internally every three months and externally every month.
Note: The dog's weight should be maintained within the normal range. Blindly letting the dog gain weight is not something to be advocated. Excessive obesity or weight loss may affect the healthy development of other organs and tissues of the dog's body.
