Chow Chows (definite introduction)
In the minds of most people, It is believed that dogs love to eat meat, or that dogs should eat meat. But it turns out that this is not the case. We can usually feed dogs some meat appropriately, but we should not use meat as their staple food. So why is this? Let’s talk about the reasons why Chow Chows should not always eat meat.
Although meat contains a lot of protein, it contains less vitamin A, vitamin D, vitamin E and vitamin A. At the same time, meat contains less calcium and more phosphorus. Eating meat for a long time can easily cause laxity. Due to the imbalance of calcium and phosphorus ratio in the body of lion puppies, the bones are damaged and prone to breakage or limb loss. Especially for large dogs such as Great Danes, it is not advisable to feed large amounts of meat too early, otherwise it may cause forelimb bending. Although the Chow Chow is not a giant dog, it is not small either. Therefore, dog owners should also be aware that eating too much meat can easily cause bone and joint diseases.
If it is a Chow Chow puppy, it is best not to eat meat. Some friends are newly purchased Chow Chow puppies that are less than 2 months old. In this case, it is best not to give meat to the puppy, otherwise the puppy will be particularly difficult to digest and prone to illness. It is best for Chow Chow puppies of this age to eat milk cakes and milk powder that are suitable for puppies. Also remember not to drink milk, because if the dog’s intestines and stomach are not suitable, it will cause diarrhea.
Not only is feeding meat alone unable to meet the nutritional needs of dogs, but also long-term consumption of meat can easily cause oral problems in dogs. Because meat is very easy to get stuck between the dog's teeth, if it is not processed in time, it will rot in the teeth, which may cause bad breath in the dog or be infected by bacteria.
