What's with the dog's listlessness?

Recently, a shovel officer often asked me, what is the basic nutrition that dogs need? His dog always looks unhealthy, but the dog is not sick. It should be that the nutrition has not kept up and lacks the nutrition that the dog needs. Therefore, the following small series of Soman pet goat milk powder will tell you the basic nutrition that dogs need.

These elements are indispensable!

First, water:

Water is one of the nutrients for dogs. The water content of adult dogs is about 60%, and the proportion of puppies is higher.

All physiological activities and the metabolism of various substances in the body must be accompanied by water. If the cells and tissues that make up the body absorb a lot of water, they can have a certain shape, hardness and elasticity; The absorption and transportation of nutrients and the discharge of metabolites must be dissolved in water.

Therefore, be sure to provide enough water for dogs. Under normal circumstances, adult dogs need about 100 ml of water per kilogram of body weight every day, and puppies need 150 ml of water per kilogram of body weight every day. In hot season, after exercise or when feeding dry feed, you should increase the amount of drinking water. In actual feeding, drinking water can be supplied all day and allowed to drink freely. ?

Second, protein:

Protein is the basis of dog's life activities, and it is the most abundant substance except water in the body, accounting for about half of the dog's dry weight. Various tissues and organs in the body, various enzymes involved in substance metabolism, and antibodies to prevent the body from getting sick are all composed of protein. Protein is also necessary to repair wounds and replace aging and damaged cells and tissues.

Evaluation of feed protein depends not only on its quantity but also on the composition of various amino acids. Insufficient supply of protein or some essential amino acids will make the protein metabolism of dogs become negative balance, resulting in decreased appetite, slow growth, weight loss, decreased protein content in blood, affected antibody formation and decreased immunity.

Third, fat:

Fat is one of the important sources of energy needed by human body. After each gram of fat is fully oxidized, it can generate 39.3 kilojoules of heat, which is higher than that of carbohydrates and protein. The fat content in dogs is about 10~20% of body weight.

Fat enters the body and gradually degrades into fatty acids, which are absorbed by the body. Most fatty acids can be synthesized in the body, but some fatty acids can't be synthesized in the body or the synthetic amount is insufficient, so they must be supplemented from food.

When food is lacking, it can cause serious digestive system disorder and central nervous system dysfunction, such as bitch burnout, rough fur, lack of sexual desire, testicular dysplasia or abnormal estrus. However, too much fat storage will cause obesity and affect the normal physiological function of dogs, especially reproductive activities. The daily fat requirement of puppies is 1. 1g/kg body weight, and the daily fat requirement of adult dogs is calculated according to feed dry matter, and it is appropriate to contain 12~ 14%.

Fourth, carbohydrates:

Carbohydrate is mainly used to supply heat and maintain body temperature in the body, and it is the energy source for various organ activities and sports.

Excess carbohydrates can be converted into fat and stored in the body. When dogs are short of carbohydrates, they need to use their body fat or even protein to supply calories. In this way, dogs will lose weight and cannot grow and reproduce normally.

The daily carbohydrate requirement of adult dogs can account for 75% of the feed, and that of puppies is about 7.6 grams per kilogram of body weight/kloc-0.

Five, all kinds of vitamins:

Vitamins are indispensable nutrients for animals to grow and keep healthy. Although their amount is extremely small, they play an important role in regulating physiological functions. Vitamins can enhance the functions of nervous system, blood vessels, muscles and other systems, and participate in the formation of enzyme systems. Without it, the necessary enzymes in the body cannot be synthesized, so that the whole metabolic process will be destroyed and the dog will fail and die. When there are too many vitamins in feed, there will also be too many diseases. ?

Six, inorganic salts:

Calcium is the most abundant and necessary inorganic salt in organism, accounting for about 1.5% ~ 2.0% of organism weight, of which 99% exists in bones and teeth. In addition, 1% calcium mostly exists in soft tissue, extracellular fluid and blood in ionic state, and keeps a dynamic balance with bone calcium. In the process of children's growth and development, dogs need more calcium, especially in the fastest growing period of children. If the supply is insufficient, it will affect bone development and health.

Inorganic salts do not produce energy, but they are the main components of animal tissues and cells, especially bone pathways, the basic substances to maintain acid-base balance and osmotic pressure, and the main components of many enzymes, hormones and vitamins, which play an important role in promoting metabolism, blood coagulation, nerve regulation and maintaining the normal activities of the heart. If the supply of inorganic salts is insufficient, it will cause many diseases such as dysplasia, and the serious lack of some inorganic salts will directly lead to death.

How to supplement nutrition for dogs?

As owners, we should take good care of dogs. The most basic thing is to ensure that dogs are healthy and need adequate nutrition.

Dogs usually exercise a lot, so nutrition needs to keep up. Many dogs can't keep up with their nutrition at ordinary times and are prone to various diseases or physical weakness. Here you can try Soman's pet selenium-enriched goat milk powder to fully supplement the calcium and various trace elements needed by dogs. At the same time, it is rich in selenium, which provides necessary nutrition for dog bone development and tooth growth. It is the best combination with dog food. The greatest care we can give dogs is to let them grow up healthily and stay with us for a long time.
