Puppies of small breeds of dogs, which belongs to Pomeranian Spitz, grow more intensively and acquired an adult exterior view much earlier than their peers representing medium or large breeds.
It is interesting! Upon reaching the age of 8-10 months, Pomeranets - visually enough adult dog.
In order for such a short period of time to grow a puppy to the size of a mature individual, spitz feed should be very calorie, with an increased content of the necessary nutrient components.
The diet in the first month
For the first two weeks of their lives, the kids-spitzam do not need anything except Mother Milk. For various reasons - Agalactia at the bitch, the failure of the litter - artificial feeding may be required. To do this, use the milk substitute by purchasing it in a veterinary pharmacy, or prepare the nutritional composition according to the following recipe.
- Mix a glass of cow milk and crude chicken yolk, add a drop of trivitamin. The mixture is heated to a temperature of 40 ° C and feed the baby from a pipette, a disposable syringe (without a needle), a small bottle with a nipple. Such feed should always be freshly prepared.
Important!Finished dairy mixes designed for children can not be used for artificial puppy feeding. Galactose, which is contained in the composition of mixes, can initiate development allergic reactions, diathesis, gastrointestinal disorders.
The main rule should be regular and frequent puppy feeding. In the first 5 days, the milk substitute baby gives every 2 hours, including at night. It is necessary to focus on the fact that the newborn puppy in the first week of life is applied to the mother breast about 12 times a day. Then the number of feedings reduce, gradually increasing the interval between them. At the three-week age, the pussyka at night you can not feed. From the sixth day of life, the puppy begins to feed the small portions of fresh cottage cheese or crushed boiled meat. A piece of such food is investing a pet in the mouth. After the feed is swallowed, observed whether there is no digestive disorders. In the absence of unwanted reactions, a small spitz to feed is continued. First, the new food is given once a day, the number of adhesive increases gradually.
On the 18th day, the puppy can be administered in addition to dairy, cereal cereals prepared on the broth. On the 4th week, the baby appears dairy teeth. This means that the organs of the digestive system will already cope with the fermentation and splitting of protein food. Now the menu can include chopped meat (minced thin grinding) without adding fat and vegetable soup. From the 25th day, Spitz should receive raw fierce vegetables (except cabbage and potatoes), for example, carrots, filled with sour cream.
Diet from month to six months
A puppy aged from the month to three needs to be fed 5 times a day. In the full menu necessarily include:
- boiled meat;
- yolk boiled chicken or quail egg (no more than two times a week).
Recommended porridge cooked on milk: rice, buckwheat, wheat. You can also give a semq and Hercules, but in small quantities. To prevent constipation, the pet should receive fiber. The source of ballast substances serve raw and boiled vegetables, they are given finely died. As with all the kids, the dairy products will be useful for up to six months: non-large natural cottage cheese with the addition of kefira or yogurt.
Important! At the age of 3-3.5 months in a small spitty, milk teeth are changing, so dry food, if it is included in the diet, should be given before smoking.
The attention of the owners who have chosen for their spitty system of food with finished feed, the following brands are worthy:
- 1st Choice Puppy Toy & Small Breeds;
- Bosch Puppy;
- Royal Canin X-Small Junior;
- Hill's Sp Adult Small & Miniature.
Bones, but exceptionally soft, spongy cartilaginous structure, not having sharp chips, you can start giving a puppy from 4 months. The ability to nibble them contributes to the development chewing apparatus and jaw muscles.
To accustom a rigged puppy to an adult feeding regime, the petition of a semi-annual pet feed is no more than 4 times a day.
Diet from six months to a year
Starting from six months, the amount of feedings reduce up to three, and at the age of eight months, the teenager's spitz should eat twice a day as an adult dog. Six-month pets already without fears can give rods and softened beef bones. Porridge is prepared only on the water, the range of croup is expanding due to buckwheat: the immune system The dogs have already gone so much that this product should not cause allergic reactions. Food is usually not solid.
In the puppy power system, the amount of meat should be at least 50% of the total diet, and in the portion expression are guided by the ratio of 20-25 g of the product per 1 kg of the weight of the pet. Veterinarians are recommended to give beef, chicken, turkey meat or rabbit pre-blanched and chopped small pieces. If the pussy fell apart to taste, it needs to be completely cleaned from small bones or use the finished fillet. Seafood - laminarium, mussels, squid - you can diversify meals, but consuming them for puppies of cream and white colors in order to avoid the hubbank better limit. Still in the menu should be sufficiently ferocular products:
- fatness cottage cheese 5-9%;
- sour cream with fat content not more than 15%;
- 1-3% kefir.
Sources of vitamins and minerals in the diet are fruits - pears, apples, strawberries (allowed dosage), rowan black, cranberries, watermelon, nuts. This looks like approximate natural menu For one day for Pomeranian spitz by the age category Puppy.
- Breakfast - Cottage cheese, refilled by kefir or sour cream, crushed walnuts, Kuragoy.
- Dinner - Mixed equal parts of meat cut into cubes, current carrot, buckwheat cereal with added vegetable oil and broth, in which products were cooked.
- Dinner - mixed with each other and refined with refined vegetable oil boiled marine fish, rice, stewed zucchini (pumpkin, patissons), finely chopped green oats.
The volume of one portion is determined individually and depends on the constitution of the pet and the tempo of its growth. If the puppy does not fully eate the contents of the bowl, and chooses from it only the lacquer pieces, the portion needs to be reduced. Since Pomeran Spites have a tendency to obesity, inevitably inventing a number of health complications, it is important not to overflow a puppy. Do not do systematic and snacks between feeding foods so as not to provoke the formation of this harmful habit for oranges. But as a promotion during the dresser, a dog can be treated with a piece of beloved fruit or cheese.
- Absolutely non-additive in the food of the breed. They will have everything to teach them from childhood. Than feeding spitzs the owner chooses himself. You can come from your pet, I will pick up by choosing it with a large variety of products. Or teach to a certain diet to which he gets used to and will eat with pleasure.
Selecting the natural nutrition does not necessarily change the menu. It is enough to develop a diet and feed the animal with this set of products daily.
Meat and subproducts
Spitz - Animal carnivoe, so in full diet Nutrition must include meat. It is preferable to feed raw meat.
Traditionally, when feeding a natural plate, the choice is made in favor of poultry meat, beef, horse meat. Answed low-fat lamb. Pork is prohibition due to the risk of infection with helminths and increased fatty.
Most owners prefer to feed the pet chicken, turkey. Giving a chicken breast or another type of meat in the form of chopped pieces. The miner is impossible to feed - it is not absorbed by the body.
It is believed that daily dog \u200b\u200bshould eat 20-25 gr. Meat per kilogram of their weight. If we replace the meat by the sub-products, then they are required by 15% more.
From the sub-products fit the scar that can be combined or replaced by chicken stomachs. They give turkey, beef, chicken liver and neck, chicken paws - spitz them is not bad enough.
A fish
Fish can be given both sea and river. Sea Product It is advisable to feed without bones. Admissible both raw and slightly warded fish.
For systemic nutrition, low-fat varieties are suitable: Mintai, Heck, Cod, Navaga. Spitz barely tolerates their scumbers, herring, washing - too fat.
River fish boils well at home to protect the animal from hot with helminths.
Craises
Solving which cereals can be given, and from which you should refuse, it is better to consult with a breeder or veterinarian. It is believed that it is impossible to eat a pet oatmeal and a gun. The best option is rice, buckwheat.
You can give a spitza bread, but restlessly. From the flour is the only thing that is allowed - dry gallets.
Dairy products and eggs
Power of Pomeranian Spitz should include dairy products (kefir, ryazhenka), cottage cheese. They are useful for all ages. Also not contraindicated spitz cheese. Many dog \u200b\u200bowners are interested in the question: is it possible to spitz milk. Breeders and veterinarians do not see anything reprehensible in it. If the dog drinks him with pleasure, the chair is not disturbed from this, the pants are clean after the hike to the toilet - the milk can be safely pouring.
It is necessary to give milk puppy. This is a good source of energy. It is used for puppy feeding. At the same time, it cannot absolutely replace bitch milk - it has fewer proteins, fats and calcium.
You can give chicken eggs. It is better to feed the cooked, as the protein in a fresh form in the body of the dog is not absorbed. Yolk is good both boiled and raw. Shell as a source of calcium is not considered. Even finely flipping it can harm esophage.
Vegetable products
Vegetable unrefined oil Added to the diet of Spitz daily. The main thing is to calculate the dosage so that there is no intestinal disorder.
Often, the dog lovers endure their eating habits on the pets. They believe that there should be a large amount in their diet various vegetables, fruit to daily rate Vitamins was replenished. The owners include in the menu for spitz carrots, cabbage, pumpkin, zucchini. Carrots are mixed with vegetable oil to digest Vitamin A. However, the fact is that the dogs are absorbed by Retinol only from animal products. And vitamin C is produced by an independently organism.
Of course, vegetables are recommended to give peeling, but as a source of fiber so that the intestine worked normally. Doggystatists view them as a secondary nutrition component. Also, vegetables are needed when the feeding of spitz is changing. For example:
- If the pet scored weight and put it on the diet;
- If after childbirth, the bitch is formed a large amount of milk.
Pregnant bitch should receive more vitamins, so its diet is adjusted at natural nutrition, enriched with special additives.
Nevertheless, the spitches themselves are happy to eat fruits and berries. What fruits give a pet, he will tell himself.
Fluffy love to eat strawberries, gooseberries, apples, pears. Banana and different nuts will be happy with pleasure. Citrus (tangerines, oranges) can not be highly risk of allergies. Pomegranate is also contraindicated. Its juice annoys the stomach, and the bones can be toxic for small animals.
You can safely give an apple - fruit in rare cases provokes allergies.
Prohibited products
If the basis of the nutrition of the Pomeranian and other types of spiets is natural products, it should be considered that they are not all suitable.
What you can't feed the spitz:
- Sausage, yeast baking, salted, fried, sharp foods, chocolate.
- Sharp beef bones due to the risk of intestinal damage.
- It is impossible to give chicken tubular bones.
- Macaroni, Hercules, manna porridge.
- Grapes, mushrooms.
Any boiled bones are contraindicated. They clog the intestine and are not digested.
Feeding drying
Solving than feeding the orange spitz, many choose dry finished feeds. They are also called crockets.
The dignity of the feed is obvious:
- No need to combine the diet;
- time saving;
- convenient to store;
- Does not require additional introduction of minerals and vitamins.
However, what can not be done is to feed the pet cheap feeds. They use vegetable protein that cannot fill the need for an animal. And soy - frequent cause Allergies. Corn is added to the cheap drying. The ingredient quickly saturates, but poorly digested.
When choosing dry spitz food, you need to pay attention to the following:
- The composition should not have less than 25% protein. Protein (protein) should be both animal and vegetable origin.
- Bestkamlude dogs necessarily contains meat, fish, liver, protein derived from soybean and alfalfa.
- Vitamins - a mandatory component of dry bocker. The composition should be vitamins A, D and Group V.
You can not worry about carbohydrates and minerals. These are cheap components, so every spit feed contains them in sufficient quantities.
Deciding in which feed feed the spitz, you need to follow the instructions for the manufacturer on the dosage, the number of feedings. Veterinarians are not recommended without significant reasons to change the feed for spitts. This may adversely affect the health of the animal.

Food for Pomeranian Spitz, as for other species of rock, it is better to choose with a veterinarian or a breeder.
When nutrition, dry food must be for the animal to have access to water. Bag with granules better hide. Spitz - roasters. They may not be uncontrolled to eat a large amount of drying and harm themselves.
Supplements to stern
Additional additives can only be assigned a veterinarian if the dog is sick, pregnant or raises puppies.
Food additives - a frequent cause of allergies. It should be given after the Council with the veterinarian.
Most often, Spits give beer yeast, as they stimulate wool growth.
Dogs of red and brown colors feed the sea cappist. It is believed that she makes the color of the wool saturated.
Breed Representatives with Wolf Color sea cabbage Not recommended, since the yellowish color of the wool in this type is not welcome.
Mineral additives with spit-shaped are not so needed as large rocks. All the necessary they get from the feed. The overabundance of calcium disrupts the exchange of minerals, which is reflected in the state of the teeth: the milk teeth become very strong, so they do not give gentle by constant.
If the owner marks such a picture - the dog licks the tile, trying, it probably needs mineral feeding, to choose which you need consulting with the veterinarian.
Is it possible to mix
You can often hear that it is not recommended to change drying throughout life and not mix dry food with conventional (natural) food. However, many breeders believe that alternating food from natural products with industrial feed is permissible. It is only important not to mix them into one feeding. It is mistaken to believe that a mixture of cereals and crockets will give a dog more benefit, it will faster it.
