A wonderful pet - a shepherd dog - has appeared in your cozy home or at the service. You are her master, the dog will obey and obey only your commands, protect you, love you. Now it's your turn to pay back in kind. The most important element in the development of any organism is nutrition, and here the question arises: how to feed a shepherd dog?
Instructions
Step 1
Let's define the basic rules for feeding your pet:
If you have a small puppy, then his bowl should be fixed on brackets for his skeleton to develop properly.
Step 2
In order for your young pet to grow correctly, it is important to monitor the calorie content of its feed during the growth period, but this should not affect the amount of feed consumed in any way.
Step 3
The dog should have two bowls, one with food and one with water. The water must be changed several times a day, while washing the bowl thoroughly.
Step 4
Try to stick to a consistent food intake schedule. If your pet has not finished eating the food after twenty minutes, do not leave it, but remove it immediately.
Step 5
Depending on the age of the puppies, feed them up to six times a day for the first two months, with one feed per day reduced every two months. After ten months, you can feed your dog twice a day.
Step 6
Feed an adult shepherd with food that is easy to digest and does not overload your pet's stomach. Otherwise, the food will be difficult to digest, and this can lead to volvulus.
Step 7
Depending on the physical condition and age of the shepherd, feed it only the food that suits it at this stage of development.
Step 8
There are two types of food - natural (meat, fish, eggs, bones, etc.) and dry. What kind of food to feed - decide for yourself, both types of food are completely suitable for feeding.
Step 9
There is also a combined type of feeding. With this method of feeding, for example, give dry food in the morning, and natural foods in the evening, while dry food should be of a sufficiently high quality.
Step 10
Always monitor and control your dog's digestion process.
Proper nutrition of a shepherd dog is the key to its health, excellent physical shape and longevity.
