Tibetan mastiff (details)
For a puppy, the quality of childhood rearing is related to the development of the dog's life. In different periods of growth and development of Tibetan mastiff puppies, the growth ability of various parts of the body is also uneven. Puppies before the age of 3 months mainly increase their bodies and weight; From the age of 4 months to the age of 6 months, the body length mainly increases; After 7 months of age, the main growth body is high. After the puppies leave the bitch to live independently, they need to supply sufficient and rich nutrients in the whole growth and development period. Let's take a look at the nutritional requirements of Tibetan mastiff puppies in each period!

You can also feed some animal cartilage, but don't feed chicken bones and raw fish bones. Tibetan mastiffs bred after 8 years of age have become large dogs, and their feeding is the same as that of adult dogs (the above dietary standards refer to puppies of large dogs).

Breeding Tibetan mastiffs is much more demanding than adult dogs. It is necessary to prevent a small number of bred Tibetan mastiffs from overeating, resulting in other bred Tibetan mastiffs eating less or not having enough. It is also necessary to be more serious in feed preparation, ensure high quality and freshness, pay attention to hygiene, and feed them now.
The newly weaned Tibetan mastiff has a weak digestive function, so it is not advisable to feed too much food at the beginning. More cooked (processed) feed should be fed, and premature feeding of hard food such as bones and frozen food will affect its development. The newly weaned Tibetan mastiff can keep 70% to 80% full, and do not overeat. The judgment of satiety can be seen from the performance of puppy's feeding: if the puppy eats quickly and swallows big, it means that he has a good appetite. After eating, there is still leftover feed in the plate, indicating that you have overeated and may have overeated. If the food in the plate has been eaten, the dog is still licking the plate and looking at its owner, indicating that it is not full.
If you feed a dog, it is easy for the dog to have partial or picky eaters. To prevent this phenomenon, all the foods that should be fed can be fully stirred into a mixed feed, which should be fed on time, and the food plate should be taken away when not being fed. But the drinking basin should always keep water supply.
