In order to help dogs digest food better and get some exercise, it is good for them to take their dogs for a walk every day. However, many owners like to take food with them when walking their dogs, and they will give them some food after walking for a while. This practice is very discouraged, so why don't you feed your dogs when walking your dogs? Let's analyze the reasons.

< strong > Fighting caused by dog's food protection: < /strong > Although the owner usually chooses a secluded place to feed his dog, there are other dogs who accidentally pass by and find your dog eating, and some dogs may even come when they smell something. If your dog protects food and the dog who wants to share it refuses to leave, it will probably cause conflicts between dogs.

< strong > Dogs eat too fast: < /strong > Most dogs will be alert when eating, and will pay special attention to whether other dogs are coming to rob them. If you see a strange dog approaching nearby, it is likely that because of fear of being robbed, it will speed up eating, and it is easy to choke or vomit soon after eating.

< strong > Dogs run after eating, causing vomiting: < /strong > Some dogs have a good temper when eating, and they are willing to eat with their favorite companions. The owners watch and chat, and it is peaceful. However, dogs start to chase and fight immediately after eating, and vigorous running makes it easy to vomit what they just ate, which not only causes food waste, but also is not good for dogs' digestion. It is usually recommended that you take your dog out for a walk half an hour after the dog has finished eating.

< strong > The dog's hygienic conditions when eating are poor: < /strong > Some parents bring dog food in small boxes and jars, and it is more hygienic to put it on the ground when they feed their own dogs. However, the owner kindly grabs some for other dogs that he knows well and puts them on the ground directly. If other dogs eat leftovers, his own dog will eat the food on the ground after cleaning, which is less hygienic.

Moreover, there is no concept of hygiene in the dog's mind. As long as it wants to eat food, it will eat it anywhere, so if food falls out of the bowl during its eating, it will lick it up and eat it as well.

< strong > Dogs get into the habit of eating out. Owners are very limited: < /strong > If dogs get into the habit of eating out only, it's not difficult for those who can walk their dogs at a fixed time, that is, if something happens to their owners and they can't walk their dogs on time, their dogs will be hungry.
