Many owners of pets complain that their dog does not eat and completely refuses to feed. The main reason is the violation of the feeding regime. In this article, we describe how to properly organize the regime for the dog, and give useful advice.

As a rule, with the appearance of a new member of the family at home - a puppy - we give him all our care and affection, we constantly offer him something delicious, forgetting about the correct regime and basic nutrition for dogs. Thus, we indulge our pets with their own hands and inculcate bad habits. The puppy understands this and begins to pick and choose in food, he knows that he will be fed with sausage or meat anyway, and he will not remain hungry.

Dog owners for some reason forget the main recommendations for proper feeding, and then they themselves suffer from this. If the dog regularly does not eat or eats very little, she gets used to this way of life, because All the time receives from the owners various delicacies, and in principle she is constantly in a full state. But later the animal loses weight or, conversely, strenuously recruits it.

Tips for the proper feeding of your pet

So, so that you are not bothered by the question of why the dog does not eat, do the following:

• A bowl of food should be put on for a limited time, for about half an hour, this time the dog will be enough to completely empty the plate. After the animal has eaten, the bowl should be removed.
• If the dog does not eat, then we remove the bowl with food and feed it strictly according to the regime. Do not feel sorry for the animal. The main error of most owners: they each time try to treat the dog with handouts (sausage, meat, cheese, etc.), thereby fixing her refusal to eat.
• Even sat down pet refused to eat now, the next meal we do not double portion.
• Many owners immediately begin to panic when the dog does not eat for several days, but should not be nervous, unless, of course, the dog is not sick. Just keep putting the plate on the schedule according to schedule - in the morning and in the evening for a limited time. Do not let the dog manipulate you. She will not starve to spite you - animals do not know how.
• If the animal eats well, but does not always completely eat everything, leaving the remains on the plate, just reduce the portion.
• Some owners sit down to eat at the same time as a pet, you do not need to do this. At first, the family eats, then the dog.
• It is better to underfeed a pet than to overfeed. This is the key to a good appetite.
• If the feed will always be freely available, you will thus develop an animal habit of eating in any quantity, and when he wants. For those dogs that have a good appetite, it is in the future threatening obesity. For fastidious animals - a refusal of food and exhaustion.

Some tips may seem inhuman to you, but the dog, accustomed to the regime, always has a good appetite and good health.
