Dogs raised from an early age will have a better understanding with their owners, but young puppies are not so easy to raise, especially in terms of feeding. Do you know how long it takes for puppies to change their dog food?
1. Dogs usually start to grow teeth around 20 days after birth, and their teeth will grow all the way around when they are two months old, so you can change your dog’s food to food at this time.
2. Because the digestive and chewing functions of puppies are relatively poor, dry dog food cannot be given to the dog immediately after weaning. It is still necessary to soak the dog food until soft and then feed the dog for a period of time to allow the dog's gastrointestinal tract to adapt, and then switch to dry food at 4-5 months.
3. If the puppy’s digestive function is relatively fragile, you can also feed the dog pet probiotics for a period of time during the food change to promote digestion and absorption. At the same time, it is recommended to adopt the feeding principle of small meals and frequent meals. It is not recommended to feed a large amount at one time to avoid indigestion and other conditions.
Note: There must be a periodic transition when changing the puppy's food. The new dog food is mixed with the old dog food, and the proportion of new dog food is increased little by little until the new dog food is finally used. At the same time, pay more attention to the dog's condition to avoid other diseases secondary to diarrhea due to changing food.
