Are You Feeding Your Dog The Right Way?

August 25, 2015

Bowl Of Dog FoodDog owners can pick from any combination of three different methods for feeding.

  1. Free Choice
    Leaving a virtually unlimited amount of food available at all times, allowing your dog to choose when they want to eat.
  2. Time Limited
    Leaving a virtually unlimited amount of food available for a predetermined amount of time, after which the food bowl will be removed. 
  3. Amount Limited
    Leaving a predetermined amount of food available for each individual meal. 

Most dogs respond best to Amount Limited feeding, with some Time Limited thrown in. By controlling the amount of food your dog consumes, you have the best chance of meeting the optimal health benchmark. 

Keep an eye on how long it normally takes your dog to finish his or her meals, you can identify health problems that negatively impact appetite in their earliest stages when treatment will be most effective and least expensive. 

If your dog tends to graze through the day, there is no need for you to pick up the bowl between meals. Just watch how much food remains in the bowl before you add more. If it begins to increase, your dog's appetite is decreasing.

You've spent a lot of time learning how to pick the right food for your dog. Accent that by learning about the right way to feed your dog!

This breed is very majestic and ancient. They are known for their speed. Afghan Hounds actually hunt by speed and sight and not by scent and were bred to track animals like deer and gazelles. They can reach a speed of 65 kilometres an hour. Like a race horse, it’s all in the hips. It is in their nature to chase what they see so a fenced in yard is recommended along with some monitoring. One hour of physical activity a day is required.

Provide clean and cool drinking water that’s placed near some shade. It is never a bad idea to place several bowls of water, and space for your pet to walk around in the shade. Even placing a chair for your dog or cat to lay under helps provide a shade.

Just like you and I, dogs are prone to cavities and although their mouths are said to be cleaner than humans they can still develop tartar, plaque buildup, gingivitis or other problems other than bad breath.

A pet is most motivated to play and let out some energy when they are in the company of their owner. A playmate is always loved. If neighbours have another dog, go to a park as a group and increase the want to move. Your community might also have some planned activities, or a local dog walker.
