What should I do if the dog doesn’t eat during the dental change period?
Dogs are one of our cutest pets, but they go through many different stages in their growth process than humans, such as the dental change period. During this period, dogs' bodies will undergo some changes, including decreased appetite, oral discomfort, etc., which will affect their diet and health.
Let's learn about some methods for dogs not to eat during tooth change. 1. Adjust your diet appropriately. During the dental change period, dogs' teeth will become very sensitive and it will be difficult to bite hard food. Therefore, we can consider adjusting our diet for dogs and giving more soft or liquid foods, such as meat paste, bone soup or chicken soup, which can help them digest and absorb better. 2. Give foods of multiple tastes. In addition to adjusting the hardness of the food, we can also try to provide them with foods of multiple tastes according to the taste and taste of the dog, such as mixing dry food and wet food or matching with chicken or fish, so that they are more willing to eat them. 3. Provide adequate water. Dogs can make their mouths burn and uncomfortable during dental changes, so we need to make sure they have sufficient water to let them drink water at any time. In addition, in order to better promote metabolism, we can also consider boiling the water and then giving it to them after cooling it. 4. Give appropriate nutritional supplements. Dogs need to have more balanced nutrition during the dental change period. Therefore, we can appropriately give some foods rich in vitamin C, calcium and other nutrients, such as fresh vegetables and fruits, but be careful not to give too much, as this will affect the health of the dog. 5. Take your dog to check oral health regularly. During the dog's teething period, we need to pay close attention to their oral health to ensure there are no problems. If you find any oral odor or bleeding, it is best to go to the veterinarian immediately for examination and develop an appropriate treatment plan according to the situation.
In general, the dental change period of dogs is a time when we need to pay more attention. Giving them appropriate food, paying attention to oral health checks, and doing a good job in daily care for dogs can better ensure their healthy growth.
