Causes and countermeasures of dog wasting
If the diet and deworming work are in place, check whether there is any physical problem with the dog.

Fat dogs are not good news for them. Similarly, thin dogs are not good for their health. For example, in winter, overweight dogs have at least enough fat to provide them with energy and resist the cold. However, thin dogs themselves may not be in good health, and once they are attacked by cold, they are likely to get sick.

< strong > First, the common causes of dogs' thinness < /strong >

< strong>1. Insufficient diet < /strong >

Many owners ask how much their dogs should eat, but there is no accurate answer. Even the recommended amount on the package of dog food is only a reference standard. We should still judge according to the actual situation. Some owners feed them completely according to the package instructions, but in reality, these amounts may be lower than the dog's needs, so the dog may be thin.

< strong>2. Internal parasite problem < /strong >

Although some owners pay attention to the vaccine problem, they neglect the deworming work. Some owners say that their dogs obviously eat a lot, but they just don't gain weight, which is likely to be caused by internal parasites. Because most nutrients are absorbed by parasites. Therefore, it's best to deworm dogs in vivo and in vitro regularly.

< strong>3. Digestion and absorption problems < /strong >

The dog's digestive system itself is not very good, and the nutrition can't be absorbed and utilized by the body. This is mostly because there are certain problems in some digestive organs. It's best to check them.

< strong>4. Nutritional utilization disorder < /strong >

Nutrients can be fully absorbed in time, but because of the lowered liver function, nutrients can't be assimilated, which will also cause the dog to be thin.

< strong > II. Coping Methods < /strong >

< strong>1. Improve nutrition < /strong >

The feeding amount on the package can be used for reference, but it is still necessary to increase or decrease the feeding amount appropriately according to the dog's actual eating situation. You can also feed some vegetables and fruits properly to provide extra nutrition. If you want to feed meat, be sure to feed cooked food, and it is best not to add seasoning.

< strong>2. Do a good job of deworming < /strong >

It is necessary to deworm dogs regularly. If you don't deworm dogs for a long time, your dogs may have vomiting problems.

< strong>3. Check your health < /strong >

If the dog has been dewormed and the feeding amount is normal, then it is necessary to check whether there is something wrong with the dog's digestive system.
