What Do Tibetan Mastiffs Eat? Not Just Meat
Many people have a fear of Tibetan Mastiffs, perhaps because their appearance seems too large. For dogs with a large body size and intimidating presence, friends may feel some fear. Maybe it is because the Tibetan Mastiff’s aura is too strong. Looking at the Tibetan Mastiff’s eyes, fierce teeth, and strong limbs, it is normal to feel an inexplicable fear. However, if you actually raise a Tibetan Mastiff, you will find that they are very gentle and affectionate toward their owners.
They maintain a high level of loyalty and protective instinct for their owners. If the owner is accidentally harmed by bad people, the Tibetan Mastiff will use its own advantages to make the bad people flee in panic. After all, except for people familiar to the Tibetan Mastiff, it is very fierce and powerful. It will only show a well-behaved appearance in front of its owner.
The Tibetan Mastiff’s limbs and body condition are very robust, which is largely related to its diet. Tibetan Mastiffs generally eat food that is carnivorous with rich protein. Only sufficient protein and other nutrients can ensure the normal functioning of various body systems in Tibetan Mastiffs.
The Tibetan Mastiff’s favorite food is of course meat and bones. The rich calcium nutrition in bones can also promote the development of the Tibetan Mastiff’s skeleton. However, here is a commonly made mistake: some friends often feed poultry bones, such as small chicken bones or duck bones. These small bones are absolutely not suitable for large dogs like Tibetan Mastiffs because small fragmented bones may get stuck in their throat and cause choking hazard. People can feed large pieces of pork bones or beef bones, which can also serve as chewing sticks.
Friends may feed some milk when the Tibetan Mastiff is a puppy, but those familiar with pet knowledge know that the fibers in milk are relatively large and are not suitable for dogs’ stomach digestion. Especially during the puppy stage when digestive functions are not fully developed, what should be fed is easily digestible goat milk powder. Some animal organs can also be fed, but not in excess.
Understanding the diet of Tibetan Mastiffs can easily solve their feeding difficulties.
