How to change the diet for dogs in summer?

With the change of seasons, dogs have different needs for calories. When keeping dogs indoors and outdoors, dogs need less calories in summer and more calories in winter. Don't only feed the same food for one year, change the food according to the season and physical condition, so as to ensure the healthy growth of your dog.

The food intake in warm season is lower than that in winter (spring) 10%.

After winter, you don't need too many calories, but the dog's appetite will not drop sharply, so be careful not to let him eat too much.

Snacks are the root of obesity. If you want to give your dog snacks, you can only feed dried meat and so on, which should also be counted as part of your food intake. The food intake should also be reduced to 90% of the winter food intake.

With the increase of temperature and humidity, food is prone to mildew, so it should be placed in a sealed container and placed in a ventilated place.

In the season of loss of appetite, you should always weigh yourself (summer).

Dogs are very afraid of heat and their appetite will decrease in summer. This is a normal physiological phenomenon of reducing fat for summer, so don't worry.

However, dogs should be weighed 1 time within 1 month. If the weight is reduced by 10%, it means there is something wrong with its body.

If your dog still has a strong appetite in summer, you should prevent it from getting fat. A sharp decrease in food intake will make it very irritable, so mixing low-calorie foods will help to control food intake reasonably.

In the season of strong appetite (autumn), you should prevent from getting fat.

Not only people, but also dogs have a strong appetite in autumn, which is a normal physiological phenomenon of storing subcutaneous fat for winter. Eating too much will still make you fat. If the dog's weight rises linearly and can directly feel its fat, it is necessary to lose weight in time. When you lose weight, you don't have to eat less. As long as you add some cabbage to dog food, you can change high-calorie food into low-calorie food.

When the weather is good, let it do more exercise, which also helps to prevent it from getting fat.

Pay attention to hydration in the season with strong appetite (winter)

In winter, a lot of fat is accumulated under the skin to keep the body temperature, and the puppy has a strong appetite and the amount of exercise increases, so it is necessary to gradually increase the food intake.

Eating too much can lead to obesity, so you should weigh yourself regularly and detect fat.
