Attention to the nutritional aspect is one of the most important aspects of caring for your dog's health because it is a source of vitality, activity, and growth for him.
While neglecting this aspect, it has many risks, including, for example, a lack of vital nutrients necessary for his health.
It is, therefore, necessary to note the best and prohibited foods and the appropriate number and amount of meals for your puppy's age.
Types of eating Lulu dogs
The tendencies of this breed differ when eating its food, some of them may suffer from stomach worms, and some of them suffer from the presence of sensitive digestive systems.
For this, you have to know the nature of your puppy so that you can give him the appropriate and useful food, and also please follow the doctor and adhere to his advice.
Likewise, the type of food may differ from one breeder to another, depending on the price, method of preparation, purchase method, conditions, and level.
Here are the top 5 types of foods that are perfectly suitable for Lulu dogs, and that you can safely feed them:
First: dairy products and their derivatives
Offering milk, cheese and yogurt are very beneficial for the health of your little one's bones and teeth, because they contain calcium, and they are also easy to digest.
Second: ready-made canned food
It has many forms: dry, wet, semi-wet, I put them in your hands for easy selection, and they are as follows:
1. Dry
It can be kept for long periods of time without refrigeration, and its price is rather cheap.
It is beneficial for the health of your dog's teeth, and also prevents the accumulation of tartar, which is why it is preferred to use it.
But please choose brands known for their high quality, and pay attention to reading the expiration date.
2. Wet
In contrast, it is expensive, but easy to obtain, and has a long shelf life.
However, not all brands produce it with the necessary amount of protein for your dog's health.
But animals prefer it a lot because it contains a lot of water, as the percentage of water in it is 75%, so it is easy to digest.
This also means, that three-quarters of these products are water, and do not contain any real value.
That is why you cannot rely on it as a main or fixed meal, but it can be offered from time to time as a matter of diversification so that your puppy does not get bored.
You can get it from pet food stores or food stores.
3. Semi-wet
It is very similar to bulgur or pieces of meat and has a variety of artificial flavors and colors, and it has a delicious taste that is loved by dogs.
However, it does not contain many beneficial minerals and vitamins, which do not provide the nutrition your dog needs.
Third: meat
It is preferable to serve raw meat, that is, “uncooked” with the addition of some bones, as it is a delicious meal, with high nutritional value because it is rich in calcium and phosphorous.
Fourth: fish
It is also one of the foods that are useful for the health of your small dog, and you can serve it cooked or raw.
Salmon is the best species that can be safely fed to them because it contains fats and omega-3s that are good for the health and activity of your puppy.
Fifth: Some types of fruits and vegetables
You can feed him green peas, as they are a rich source of protein and vitamins needed to improve overall body functions.
Also, sweet potatoes are one of their favorite meals, because of their dental health benefits.
How many meals does a Lulu dog need?
Adult dogs need 1-2 meals per day, an average of once in the morning, and the appointment can also be varied between once, either in the middle of the day or at night.
While a young puppy can be fed 3 meals a day and 4 meals in the case of very active youngsters.
It is divided at appropriate intervals, according to their needs and the activity they exert.
The right amount of food
Balanced meals must be provided and contain the necessary elements and vitamins to maintain the health of the puppy.
Therefore, a consistent diet is required, but how can you determine the appropriate amount for the age and health of your little one?
You can easily do this by sticking to the suggested feeding schedules, but it is also essential to see a doctor about your dog's food.
These tables are generally safe and acceptable for the health of your dog, and because the Lulu is a small breed, its food is as follows:
3/4 cup daily if they weigh 5 kg.
1 cup daily for a 7 kg weight.
2-3 cups per day if they weigh 10 kg.
Foods to avoid
There are some foods that it is strictly forbidden to feed the dog, Lulu, because they are harmful to his health, including:
1. Sugar
Be careful not to offer foods that contain a high amount of sugar or add a lot of sugar directly to the food, as it causes failure in the internal organs.
2. Chocolate
Because it contains a substance that causes the dog to have diarrhea, colic, vomiting, and a high heart rate, especially white ones, as well as cocoa and all its products.
3. Grapes
It is forbidden to eat it as well as raisins, because eating them may lead to the death of the dog or his kidney failure, as well as they do not contain any real nutritional value for them.
4. Caffeine
Consuming drinks that contain it, such as tea, coffee, etc., may expose your puppy to sudden heart attacks.
5. Alcohol
If your child drinks it or some of it, he may lose his life, because it is very toxic and leads to poisoning directly.
6. Garlic and Onion
It is strictly forbidden to feed him to such types, because they may harm his red blood cells, and it is difficult for his digestive system to get rid of them.
