Matters needing attention of border collie

Precautions for border collies:

1. The feeding of border collies is not much different from that of other dogs. After weaning, puppies can start eating puppy food, because puppies have limited digestive ability and can be fed 3-4 meals a day. After 8 months, the feeding frequency of dogs and adult dogs can be reduced to 1 time per day. But in moderation, eight points is enough. It is best to feed it about 40 minutes after walking.

You can judge the dog's food intake by the dog's feces. For example, the feces are strip-shaped and moderately hard, indicating that the food intake is just right; If it is so soft that it can't be picked up with a special dog dung clip, it means that the dog gives too much food. If the feces are too hard, it means that the food given is insufficient and some dog food needs to be added.

3. Its daily care is very simple. As long as the owner can comb his hair regularly every day, dogs who are used to grooming will find it a good enjoyment. Don't worry about the nail problem of the border collie, as long as it has enough exercise, it will smooth its nails by itself.
