Feeding your dog


Most veterinarians recommend feeding your dog twice a day — once in the morning and once in the evening. Puppies under five months of age should be fed three to four times a day in small quantities. 


 

It’s important to remember all dogs are individuals, and what diet might be fine for your friend’s dog may be completely inappropriate for your dog. When it comes to a daily diet for your dog, it’s important to consult with your vet.

The amount of food your dog needs will largely depend on the size, breed and age of your dog, as well as how regularly it exercises. The key is to ensure you don’t overfeed or underfeed your dog. If ever you’re unsure, ask your vet to assess your dog’s diet and nutrition, and the condition of its body and overall health.

Always ensure your dog is well hydrated. This means making sure their water bowl is filled up at all times and is changed daily, so they can help themselves to water whenever they need or want.

Domesticated dogs are largely carnivores but most eat some omnivorous foods. Avoid raw meat as it may contain harmful bacteria like salmonella. Cooked food is always safe both meat and veggies. You may include lamb, chicken, eggs, fish ,carrots, pumpkin. Remove bones while cooking as they tend to become brittle and the pieces can choke your dog while eating. Avoid salted food , chocolates and resins ( grapes ) as they can be dangerous.
Consult your Vet if you have doubt.

Vaccinating your dog

By  vaccinating your pet dogs,  you help protect  your  furry friend from various diseases including rabies, distemper, parvovirus, infectious hepatitis, bordetella, feline leukemia and others.  Vaccinating your pets  annually helps lessen the spread of infectious diseases throughout  pet  populations. For  Dogs : Vaccines for canine parvovirus, distemper, canine hepatitis and rabies  are  considered core vaccines.These include vaccines against Bordetella bronchiseptica, Borrelia burgdorferi and Leptospira bacteria.
