THE NUTRION OF YOUR PUP
To make of a pup a healthy, happy and vivacious dog, apart to educate him and to love him of fundamental importance is the diet that must be balances in base to the dog age and his physical activity, the types of nutrition are two that housewife and that already composed by foods pre-packaged. The pre-packaged nutrition can be separated in dry or damp foods, if of good qualities guarantee the whole contribution nutritional of which it has need your friend for the whole of its life (I recommend to follow the dosage written on the wrappings). Exist in fact for every phase of the development a type of different food: puppy, regular, premium, light... and other, however ask always suggestion to our veterinarian of trust.
Unlike those buckets those dampness contain more water it must be furnished therefore in great quantity.
As it regards the
home diet must furnish the correct doses of proteins, carbohydrates and vitamins to the dog.
The proteins of the meat (white or red) can be replaced twice a week by the fish (never raw and completely deprived of lisps), eggs (crushes or raw better without egg white as few digestible) cheese (type thin better if yogurt that containing lactic ferments that helps the functions of the bowel). The carbohydrates are furnished by the pasta and by the rice that must have served well cooked and above all after the cooking rinsed to avoid an excess of starch, it is better to give him bread stale that's much more digestible than that fresh.
The vegetables must correspond to a quarter of the meal (dissuaded spinaches, beets, chicories and lettuces).
ABSOLUTELY FORBID the bones of chicken and rabbit, launch leftovers, candies and above all the chocolate that is poison for them.
For regulate us around the ration is enough to check the bowl if there are scarce residues of food it wants to say that was enough however remember us that the cocker is a great glutton therefore attention to the diet! Fresh water always to disposition... and good luck!!!
MY SUGGESTIONS FOR THE DIET OF THE PUP:
BASE FOR AN OPTIMAL GROWTH.
When the pups will be delivered to 60 days will already be weaned in degree therefore to feed alone, (without the maternal milk) to grow strong and healthy needs to integrate besides the base diet of calcium croquettes , vitamins and proteins (let's remember us that a diet balanced since the first months is fundamental to get a dog with sublime physical quality in how much some forms of dysplasia can be also due to lacks nutritional). The calcium serves for a correct skeletal development and for the teething, me usually from the three months in then administer for by oral, with a syringe, 1/3 of calisvit (or similar excellent also the articular vmp of the Pfizer that are tablets) a day up to the sixth month of age period in which the teething is complete (the pup has changed the milk teeth). I add a yolk of egg a week and some cheese and if the pup appreciates a coffee teaspoon of honey. Being the dog for nature carnivorous I have found very useful for the contribution of calcium and proteins the chicken minced with carcass and bowel by to integrate sometimes to the croquettes.
The puppies after the 60 days still eat three or four times a day they will gradually reach one or two meals. During the whole of their life suggestion besides cycles of vmp of the Pfizer that are a food complementary container vitamins, mineral and proteins, are able to be used since the tender age it contains besides biotin for the hair that will be always thick and shining. I remember besides that the cocker even if well it suits him for a home life it remains a hunting dog it has need therefore of movement for a correct muscular development and to unload his fantastic vital energy (mens sana in corpore sano) bring him therefore to race, to play and for the impassioned ones to hunting.
As it regards the vegetables being very pleasant to our friend personally when I make the minestrone together with the croquettes one or two spoons I add (after the four or five months of age) them, fruit is also well accepted above all the apples. We try to be us the judges of the beauty and the health of our dog, we try to dose the rations of food in base to the physical activity of our dog, let's not make him fatten up because the nutritional problems of the dog are nearly identical to those of the human. However for any information the breeder will remain always to your disposition as your veterinarian of trust.
