Optimal Golden Retriever Diet & Feeding Dos & Don'ts
Part 1: Caring for Golden Retrievers
1. After two months of raising a Golden Retriever, it's crucial for owners to remember to vaccinate their pet. During the vaccination period, keep the dog indoors, away from playtime, cold water, and baths. Allow the dog to rest comfortably in its crate until a week after the vaccination before resuming regular activities.
2. Always ensure that the feeding bowls and water bowls are clean when feeding your dog. It's also important to keep your dog in a crate for a peaceful rest.
3. Given that Golden Retrievers have long fur, regular grooming is essential to prevent matting. Make it a habit to brush their coat often.
4. You can add soaked milk to your dog's food, and if possible, supplement with egg yolks and proteins.
5. Ensure your Golden Retriever drinks only plain water or mineral water. Avoid giving them cold or tap water, as it can harm their digestive system.
6. Provide your dog with toys they love to prevent them from damaging your belongings.
7. Adding probiotics to their meals can aid in digestion and balance their gut flora.
Part 2: Taboos in Raising Golden Retrievers
1. It's important to avoid adding seasonings to your dog's food, as this is an unscientific approach. Be cautious not to include seasonings like soy sauce or Sichuan pepper in their meals.
2. Never feed your dog hard foods like beans or nuts, as they can harm their digestive system. Such foods should be strictly avoided.
3. Avoid feeding your Golden Retriever indigestible foods like raw octopus, which can cause diarrhea.
4. Don't overfeed your dog; excessive eating can lead to vomiting after exercise.
