"Three Fixed" Feeding Benefits for Dogs
Golden Retriever (Detailed Introduction)
The task of feeding may seem simple, but there are still many things we need to pay attention to. Feeding a dog is not just casually serving some dog food and letting it eat by itself. Good feeding habits can bring many benefits to dogs. When feeding, we should follow three requirements: fixed time, fixed amount, and fixed place. Doing so can not only cultivate good eating habits in dogs but also bring great benefits to their health in the long term.
1. Fixed Time
Having a fixed time is the foundation for cultivating good eating habits in dogs. Some owners like to feed their dogs at any time they prefer, but this easily causes dogs to develop inattentive eating habits. Because in their impression, they think that even if they don't eat now, the owner will still feed them later. So they do not worry about not getting enough food, leading to distracted eating with starts and stops. After fixing the feeding time, dogs will come to eat at the designated time. If they are not focused when eating, they may face the problem of not getting enough food. This method can create a sense of alertness.
2. Fixed Amount
Many digestive problems in dogs are largely caused by irregular daily diets, with varying amounts of food, resulting in irregular digestive work. Over time, this can cause chronic gastrointestinal diseases. Therefore, fixing the feeding amount is very necessary for the dog's health. Of course, this amount is based primarily on meeting the dog's basic needs.
3. Fixed Place
The most obvious advantage of feeding in a fixed location is that you don't have to look for the dog when feeding. At the designated time, the dog will come to the fixed feeding place by itself. This can effectively avoid situations where you can't find the dog while feeding.
The benefits of this practice may not be obvious in the short term, but over time we will realize the advantages. Besides cultivating good eating habits, it also helps form good behavior habits in dogs.
