Feeding puppies requires a balanced and nutritious diet to support their growth and development. Start with a mix of 500 grams of minced meat or organs, 3 eggs, 300 grams of corn flour, 500 grams of chopped vegetables, and a small amount of growth hormone. Add some concentrated bone broth, or optionally, a little raw milk or rice soup. Gradually introduce gruel, starting with 30-50 ml per feeding and increasing up to 200-500 ml as the puppy grows. This is suitable for a 6-week-old puppy.
For weaning dogs, a formula like 21% cornmeal, 15% broken rice, 15% wolfberry cake, 5% flour, 14% bean cake, 15% wheat bran, 5% cabbage cake, 6% fish meal, 5% bone meal, and 0.5% each of auxin and salt works well. It's best to feed them with broth—use 5 grams of pork to make broth daily. If feeding meat, offer it three times a day, plus one serving at night. Always ensure fresh water is available.
At 35 days old, male puppies should be castrated and moved to the young dog feeding stage. The new formula includes 30% cornmeal, 20% broken rice, 20% moromi cake, 10% bean cake, 10% wheat bran, 5% cabbage cake, 4% bone meal, and 0.5% each of auxin and salt. Since puppies grow quickly, add some mineral supplements and feed them three times a day with warm, seasoned water. You can also include some animal-based feed if available.
After 70 days of fattening, the dogs move to the adult feeding stage. The formula here is 27% cornmeal, 27% broken rice, 20% oyster cake, 10% bean cake, 10% wheat bran, 5% cabbage cake, 2% fish meal, and 0.5% each of auxin and salt. If possible, add some fat-rich feed to improve energy levels.
Feed modulation is essential to enhance flavor, preserve nutrients, and ensure the food is easy to digest. The goal is to create a diet that’s clean, appealing, and efficient. Dogs are naturally carnivores, even though they’ve adapted to eat some plant matter. They still struggle to digest raw starch, so all feeds should be cooked properly.
The best method is to prepare the food into a semi-liquid porridge. When cooking, avoid boiling or baking the feed, as this can reduce its taste and digestibility. For meat-based feeds, keep protein levels low by soaking the meat in cold water for a short time, then boiling it gently. Avoid overcooking, and serve the broth alongside starchy foods.
For grains, rinse them briefly with clean water and cook them whole in a pot with water to prevent nutrient loss. Vegetables should be washed after cutting and cooked quickly—no need to peel radishes or potatoes. Finally, always feed fresh food and avoid leaving leftovers overnight to maintain hygiene and freshness.
