maintenance and care

The basis for the health, longevity and good physical form of the dog is full and balanced feeding. The type of diet must be consistent with the needs of the organism and vary according to the stage of life cycle (growth period, adult dog, ageing period) and physiological characteristics (inactivity, stress, pregnancy and other).

We all want to be healthy, so we deliberately choose our daily products. We want to know that we're eating and that's what our food is.
However, when we choose food for our cats and dogs, we often turn to products we know in advertising. And when the producer shows us the painted pictures of the juicy meat and the fields full of evils, at the same time explaining that this is the feed that is for our pet, we believe it. Why? Among other things, because the contents are often difficult to read. At first sight, all the food looks the same, but only at first sight.

The calcium additives in the puppy food were said and written a lot. As in everything, there's both a surplus and a drawback. The calcium requires a puppy to mineralize a growing skeleton: 99 per cent of the calcium contained in the body is in the bone tissue. An adult dog has a dual process of intestinal absorption: passive distribution and active transport. If the amount consumed increases, the active absorption decreases and the adult, even with a rich calcium of food, absorbs not more than 10 per cent of the calcium. On the contrary, a puppy has a more important role to play: it is not capable, as an adult, of clearly adjusting the absorption to the amount consumed, and the minimum absorption is always at least 40 to 50 per cent. If the feed lacks calcium, it can be absorbed by 95 per cent of the diet.

The normal length of claw is one of the necessary conditions for dog health. The one who grew up to cause a lot of trouble, preventing the dog from moving normally into his finger, or hurting him, getting caught up in an obstruction. The summer claws are usually stunned by themselves (if the dog moves a lot on the asphalt - especially the vaginas), you're probably gonna have to cut them in the winter.
