It's summer, whether it's the streets or in the shopping malls, the most typical one is watermelon. This fresh fruit, called "the first among melons", has always been loved by many people because of its sweetness, juiciness, freshness and quenching thirst.
As a cute pet family, I am wondering, watermelon is often said to be fresh fruit with high sugar content. Can dogs quench their thirst and take it to them?
Is watermelon really the fresh fruit with the most sugar content?
Some online medical consultation websites will post shocking article titles like "Watermelon sugar is shocking to eat melon seeds to lose weight and lose weight", which has made some readers of the onlookers avoid watermelon. But what is the truth? This is a big mistake.
Appropriate way to feed dogs watermelon:
No matter how good the items are, they cannot be taken endlessly
Under the premise that all normal diet and drinking water can be ensured, a small piece of watermelon is enough. You must not throw more than half of the watermelon in front of it, so that it can eat it without any scruples. It is important to understand that dogs eat nothing. If it is an item they are very interested in, they will even eat until they vomit.
If this thing is watermelon, it may lead to frequent metabolism, and even intestinal obstruction caused by excessive intake of watermelon seeds.
Therefore, the appropriate method of feeding dogs watermelon includes:
1. Eliminate all seeds in melon meat: Most fresh fruit seeds contain hydrogen cyanide, which may cause diarrhea, nausea and other diseases;
2. Dogs drink water normally every day to control their appetite, and it is best not to exceed 1 kilogram a day:
As mentioned earlier, most of the nutrients in watermelon are water. Drinking more water in the hot summer is naturally a good thing, but drinking too much water will endanger the balance of infiltration into the somatic cells, thus causing discomfort.
For people, a very good subjective norm for filling water is "drink when you are thirsty, and don't drink when you are not thirsty". For dogs, this kind of risk must be fully considered. Therefore, the watermelon you feed must be included in the dog's daily drinking water output for consideration.
3. Feed as soon as possible after cutting. If you find that the dog does not eat, you need to remove it immediately:
Due to the high moisture content, after cutting the watermelon, under the effects of high temperature, colorful water and co2, part of the pulp of the watermelon will quickly become moldy.
Even if you fully consider that the dog is a scavenger in the wild and has strong gastric juice to resist rotten and deteriorating bacteria, no one should explore throwing moldy watermelons to the dog for eating. Therefore, if you find that the dog is not interested in watermelons, you need to solve the watermelons as soon as possible.
