Feeding points
In the breeding and management of Yorkshire Terriers, first of all, it is necessary to ensure that adequate nutritious food is given. Yorkshire Terriers are mainly meat-based. They need 200-250 grams of meat a day, plus a moderate amount of vegetarian food with low sugar content. Feeding frequency, 1 year old and older, feed once a day, puppies feed 2-4 times a day as appropriate.
For young Yorkshire Terriers, do not give them snacks, let alone bite hard foods to protect their teeth. Because this kind of dog loves to bark, it is necessary to train it to develop a habit of not barking when it is a puppies. It is also important to note that this kind of dog is lively and active, and often suddenly rushes out of the door and rushes into the arms of the person. If it is not done well, it will cause scratches to the person.
Yorkshire terriers are fascinated by food, especially those boring and lazy Yorkshire terriers, and they are especially able to use your love for them to get food. If you feed your dog as soon as you beg for food, it will only encourage its bad habit and will quickly make them obese.
Put food and water in a place where the Yorkshire Terrier is not easy to fall over, but you must ensure that the Yorkshire Terrier can drink water at any time when it is thirsty. The baby Yorkshire Terrier needs to be fed three times a day; when it is five to six months old, it is reduced to once or twice a day. In the early stages of feeding, give it a sufficient amount, but do not let it eat until the feeding time. Wash the utensils every day and continue to give it enough and clean water.
Precautions:
Do not mix dry dog food with milk, but with water. When a little Yorkshire is six to eight weeks old, most people who raise a little Yorkshire and healers disagree with putting milk in food, because drinking too much milk can cause diarrhea and easily cause digestive problems. If you want to slowly switch to dry dog food, you must gradually reduce the water content to mix the food. When the dry dog food is completely used, it can be placed in a bowl all day long for the puppies to eat. Or choose a dog food like royal puppies milk cake, which is nutritious and fragrant, which is acceptable to dogs who are generally picky eaters.
If you think your dog’s hair is not smooth and beautiful, you can also boil an egg for the Yorkshire Terrier every three or two days. It is recommended not to give the dog the egg whites. The egg yolk is best fed three to four times. The main function of egg yolk is to make hair beautiful.
