Border collie (details)
Dogs about 3 months old are the best feeding stage for the first-time pet dog owners, because basically three-month-old dogs have been completely vaccinated, which has a good guarantee for their health, and this age is the best time to educate dogs, so we must grasp this golden stage. So how to raise a 3-month-old dog? Let's make a simple understanding.
1. Food: Feeding time should generally be arranged in the daytime, which is suitable for the general activities of animals. If you have three meals a day, you can eat at about 8: 00 for breakfast, 1: 00 for lunch and 6: 00 for dinner. The composition and quantity of food are basically the same as those of 2 months old. Because dogs are growing up day by day, the amount should be appropriately increased. Generally, every 3~5 days, the original amount can be increased by about 1/5. Generally, the individual size, leg bone thickness, etc. of puppies are all related to heredity, but have little to do with how much they eat and their nutritional status. In the growth and development stage, not all parts grow in a balanced way, for example, from birth to 3 months, the main body and weight grow, from 4 to 5 months, the main body grows, and after 7 months, the main body grows taller. Therefore, special attention should be paid to both balanced nutrition and sufficient nutrients during growth and development. If the dog eats too much, it will easily hurt the stomach and affect the gastrointestinal function. If you eat too little, you can't guarantee the necessary nutrients for your body's growth and development. Your body is thin and has poor resistance. Once you get sick, it will be more dangerous. Dogs in the growing period are generally nutritious and balanced food. The daily feeding amount per kilogram of body weight is about 60~70 grams, and it is divided into 3~4 times.
2. Excretion: Dogs sometimes urinate because of pleasure or fear. This is a manifestation of emotional or neurotic feelings, and it is generally difficult to control, but it can naturally disappear when they are adults. The dog's defecation training should also start from this time, so as to avoid the habit of defecating everywhere when they grow up.
3. Education: This age is the golden stage for dogs to learn things, which can provide basic education for puppies and education for developing good eating habits. The dog is not allowed to play while eating. If it suddenly stops to play while eating, it can take away her food and wait until the next feeding. If it obediently eats, it can be praised. Be gentle with your dog and don't scold him too much.
4. Health: monthly health check-up, urine test and regular deworming.
For puppies, we must pay attention to health problems, and the food distribution should be reasonable. As for the training and education, we should do it as soon as possible. As the puppy is too small, it is best not to blame it excessively, let alone beat the puppy, so as not to make the puppy feel afraid of himself.
