The key to health, longevity and maintaining proper physical shape of every shepherd is its proper nutritious nutrition. It is recommended to feed adult shepherd dogs twice a day, and at a certain time. These dogs get used to the regimen very quickly, so delayed feeding, not due to serious circumstances, can become serious stress for the animal. The food of the shepherd dog should be varied.
Instructions
Step 1
Dry food is very popular with shepherd owners. It does not deteriorate during storage, its composition is balanced taking into account the age and physiological needs of the dog, it can be taken with you on the road, and the feeding itself usually takes a minimum of time - just a few minutes a day.
Step 2
Economy-class dry food for sheepdogs is made from low quality raw materials, mainly from offal with the addition of low-quality soybeans and cereals. Feeding your shepherd dog with such poor quality dry food can lead to allergic reactions, metabolic disorders, indigestion and other health problems. In addition, due to the low digestibility and nutritional value of such feeds, their consumption is quite high.
Step 3
The products that are part of the premium dry food for shepherds are of higher quality. Due to this, they are absorbed much better than economy-class feed.
Step 4
Super premium dry food has an ideally balanced composition, high nutritional and biological value, and excellent digestibility. They contain the highest quality components.
Step 5
Many shepherd owners choose to feed their dogs natural food. The main advantage of this solution is the usefulness of the nutrients contained in natural products. But it is difficult to accurately balance the diet, and in terms of time consumption, this method of feeding is quite laborious.
Step 6
Each dog's diet must include such foods as meat, bones, fish, eggs, dairy products, cereals, bread, vegetables and fruits.
Step 7
But some foods should not be present in the diet of a shepherd dog. These include potatoes, which are practically not assimilated by the animal's body, flour products (pastries and noodles), legumes, sausages and sausages, salted, smoked and pickled foods, sweets and tubular bones. It is also not recommended to add various spices to the food of the shepherd dog, for example, bay leaf, pepper or cinnamon.
