1. Dog's Age
      Usually for young dogs, we often feed dairy products, nutritional paste, and other easily digestible foods. When the dog is about 3 months old, we gradually start feeding dog food. At first, dog food can be softened with water before feeding, training the dog slowly to recognize that this is food. Around 6 months old, you can start to moderately switch to freeze-dried dog food. Some may ask, why must dogs eat dog food? Feeding human food to pets has been done before, right? Human food contains too much salt and fat, while dog snacks have single and unbalanced nutritional components that only meet specific needs of your dog. Long term, this cannot satisfy the comprehensive health needs of your beloved dog. The more complete the nutritional composition of dog food, scientifically and reasonably formulated, the better it can fully meet the nutritional needs of dogs during growth.

      2. Developing Good Habits
      When feeding, do not let your pet stay by the dining table. On one hand, this reduces feeding foods harmful to dogs, and on the other hand, it prevents spoiling the dog and forming picky eating habits. If the dog does not eat at mealtime, do not tempt them with snacks. As long as there is no health problem, let the dog feel hungry and eat by themselves. If you assist the dog by feeding them because they refuse food, the dog will develop picky eating habits.
      3. Digestive Issues
      If the dog has poor digestion, improving and regulating gastrointestinal function is needed. At this time, you can feed the dog some probiotics that promote digestion. This helps regulate the dog's gut, balance flora, aid digestion, and stimulate appetite.

      4. Appropriately Switch Different Main Foods
      Sometimes humans want to change flavors by eating different foods, and pets are no exception. For convenience, some feed dogs the same dog food repeatedly which might cause dogs to become bored. If a dog eats the same dog food for a long time and gets tired of it, you can switch to different main dog food. This not only increases the dog's appetite but also helps nutritional balance. However, a reminder: do not switch dog food too frequently, about once every six months is fine. At this time, you do not need to follow the first point literally; when a dog is sick, appetite is usually poor, and starving them will slow recovery. You can give appetizing food or canned food to your dog.
