“How to feed a chihuahua?Indeed, the nutritional needs of small dogs do not coincide with the needs of large breeds. Due to their small size, they consume less food. The daily diet should be balanced, contain all the necessary nutrients, rich in vitamins, minerals and trace elements.
how to feed a chihuahua: what can and cannot be done
A high level of metabolism and activity of the breed is accompanied by accelerated energy consumption by the body. Thus, the products included in the regular chihuahua diet should have a high energy value. In simple words, a healthy and healthy home diet consists of high-calorie and high-quality fresh products.
How many times a day to feed a chihuahua?
The question requires an individual approach to a single puppy or an adult. Of great importance is the age, weight, mobility, recommendations of the veterinarian, individual characteristics of the dog's metabolism. The correct diet is as follows:
The puppy is fed by its mother for up to 3 weeks.
From 3 to 6 weeks: the puppy is not limited in feed, the bowl is freely available. Overeating, as a rule, is not peculiar to puppies, but if you notice the opposite, then limit it to 6 times a day.
From 3 to 6 months: 3-4 times a day.
From 6 to 12 months: 2-3 times a day.
From one year and older: 2 times a day.
Make an adequate schedule and feed strictly according to it, so that the dog's body adjusts to a certain diet. Let's say it's reasonable to feed a one-year-old in the morning and evening. Treats and light snacks are allowed between meals:
a piece of egg omelet or boiled egg;
low-fat cottage cheese, kefir or sour cream;
fresh fruits or vegetables that are safe for health.
The total volume of snacks should not exceed 20% of the daily volume of the diet.
Pregnant and lactating bitches, the correct diet and the number of feedings are selected by a veterinarian individually. Amateur activity is not welcome.
Experienced breeders constantly argue about the best way to feed a chihuahua. Some beat their chests and claim that it is better to feed with natural food, others with dry food. Sometimes the arguments reach the point of absurdity, but everyone has the right to have their own opinion. I believe that both feeding options are viable. However, I do not recommend feeding a chihuahua with natural food to an inexperienced breeder. The reason lies in the complexity of preparing a truly balanced and healthy diet that meets the nutritional needs of a growing or adult dog's body.
Advertising on the Internet and on television is full of all kinds of commercial offers of specialized dog food. It is supplied in packages in the form of dry granules, or in canned food of a wet type. It is allowed to feed both granulated dry food and canned. Condition - the feed contains a "Premium" or "Super-premium" class label, the brand of a reliable and proven manufacturer. I do not advise feeding cheap and questionable quality food; combine natural food with dry, in order to avoid stomach upset and gastrointestinal problems.
When buying a puppy, the former owner can recommend how to properly feed a chihuahua at home based on personal preferences. Be guided by someone else's opinion or stick to your own – it's up to you. My advice is to seek advice from an experienced veterinarian. The specialist will accurately select a healthy diet, according to the individual nutritional needs and characteristics of the puppy's (or adult's) body. Remember that improper nutrition can lead to pancreatitis, the formation of stones in the bladder and kidneys, heart disease and obesity (cases rarely occur).
How much to give food?
If you feed dry food or canned food, then the manufacturer faithfully indicates the daily dosage rates on the packaging. The proportions are indicated according to the age of the dog, so follow the table provided by the manufacturer.
how much food to give
If you feed a chihuahua with natural food prepared at home, then in determining the proportion of the amount of food, its nutritional value, in other words, calorie content, is of fundamental importance.
A growing and mobile puppy's body consumes more calories, so it consumes more food than an adult. As they grow older, there is a decrease in appetite. It is also important to understand that the number of calories in dry food and natural food varies greatly. For example, if a table glass (200 g) of natural food contains 100 kcal, then the same amount of dry food contains about 200 kcal. The figures are given for informational purposes, the calorie content is calculated based on the actual ingredients in the feed.
