As more and more people raise different breeds of dogs, there are various considerations in the feeding process. Different weights require different feeding factors at different stages and periods. Just like humans eat different foods and amounts at various stages, we need to consider different breeds and periods to feed them properly to ensure their health and robust growth. Correctly choosing feeding steps can help us have healthier dogs.

The Border Collie is a medium-sized dog breed with relatively high exercise needs, so we need to customize suitable feeding plans during its growth and adulthood to ensure healthy development and activity. Overfeeding may cause damage to the dog's digestive system and stomach bloating. Likewise, underfeeding may result in a dog that is not strong or developed enough when grown, and adult dogs lacking sufficient food may have insufficient energy for exercise and play, leading to lethargy.

When the dog is still a puppy, we must be especially careful about its feeding and nutritional needs. Firstly, during puppyhood, the required feeding amount may not be much, but we must ensure frequent feeding times because puppies get hungry easily, similar to how human babies frequently need milk. Generally, puppies need to be fed three to four times a day, each time with a small amount, such as 20 grams of dog food plus some calcium supplement food to meet their demands.

After the dog grows up, we usually do not need to pay as much attention to details. It is sufficient to feed them twice a day, but the amount per feeding increases to about 200 grams of dog food each time. Large dogs typically do not need daily calcium or other nutrient supplements unless there are special conditions. In any case, we must carefully care for the dog’s health at different stages to make the dog more active.
