How to raise a Labrador (how to raise a Labrador for beginners)

1. Each dog’s food utensils should be fixed and should not be used randomly. When feeding multiple dogs, be especially careful not to exchange the food bowls of each dog to prevent the spread of disease. Wash after feeding and boil and disinfect regularly. A dog’s life is very regular, so it’s best to let the dog eat in its correct location.

2. Pay attention to the dog's eating situation when feeding. If there is leftover food or no food, find out the cause and take timely measures. The leftover feed should be taken away immediately and should not be left for a long time for the dog to eat at any time.

3. Pay special attention to puppies and sick dogs. It is best to feed puppies 4 times a day. The food should be added from less to more, from worse to better. The fixed food amount should be added less and less, and it is not advisable to feed it very full. Sick dogs should be fed more liquid food, lean meat and eggs or irritating, easy-to-digest, nutritious sick food. Sick dogs should drink plenty of clean water.

4. Feed the dog at a regular, quantitative and fixed location. Timing can develop the dog's timing conditioned reflex, secrete gastric juice, increase appetite, and promote digestion and absorption. Generally, adult dogs are fed twice a day, once in the morning and once in the evening, and slightly more at night. Dogs under 1 year old should be fed 3 times a day; dogs under 3 months old should be fed 4 times a day; puppies under 2 months old should be fed 5 times a day. The variety of dog food can be renovated, but the quantity must be relatively stable. The feeding location can be inside or outside the kennel, but dogs are generally fed in the kennel. The purpose of a fixed location is to keep the environment relatively stable and easy to manage. Some dogs will refuse to eat and lose appetite when changing feeding places.
