Today we are going to teach you everything you need to know about how to feed a Bichon Froze, telling you which are the best foods to do so.
We are also going to advise you on other things to take care of it, since it is not only necessary to feed the dogs so that they can live well.
Instructions for feeding a bichon froze
- Meat for proteins: The first thing we must take into account to feed the Bichon Froze in the correct way is that he must eat enough protein. Proteins are one of the most important macronutrients there is, since they allow the formation of amino acids, which are responsible for making the dog grow and keep its muscle mass healthy. The food that they like the most to be able to have protein in their proper measure is lean meat from foods such as chicken, which should be given about 4 times a week so that they can have the adequate amount of protein for their body. Of course, do not give him much since too much meat is not good, since he could gain weight or could have very high uric acid, something that is certainly not good news.
- Vegetables for vitamins: Like all living beings, the Bichon Froze needs vitamins, a micronutrient that serves to regulate and correctly manage the vital functions of a living being. The best way I know of giving vitamins to an animal is through vegetables, since vegetables such as tomatoes, peppers and green beans give the animal the recommended daily intake of vitamins. It is also a food that he likes a lot, that he digests well and that will not make him fat, since it has very few calories. I like to give it every day as the basis of its diet, since we must try to ensure that it always has vitamins while filling its stomach with vegetables so that the animal is never hungry. The type of vegetable does not matter, as long as it is varied to ensure that you give the animal all the types of vitamins that exist right now in the natural environment.
- I think for balance: I think is a special food for dogs, which consists of a kind of solid food that contains vitamins, proteins, fats and carbohydrates in equal parts. This is the most complete food for a Bichon Froze, since in this way, you will ensure that it has the recommended daily amount of vitamins, recommended daily amount of all macronutrients and also that it is completely satisfied. The Bichon Froze is an animal that should eat little and should eat feed for small animals, since the feed for large animals is too nutritious for its small body, something that can make this dog fat, and something that we certainly do not want any of us that happens.
- Water, the most important thing: Water is one of the most fundamental parts of life and one of those that must be given to any living being to ensure its survival. Water is very good for health, as it regulates our temperature, keeps us alert and without it we cannot live. In the case of the Bichon Froze, water is important and should be given daily. Of course, these dogs, like all the others, know well when they have to see, so the only thing you have to do for the dog to drink water is to fill the bowl with water so that it is never empty. When the dog is thirsty, he will go to drink water without you telling him anything, since he knows when he has to do it and how he has to do it. However, you should try to always have water, because if he drinks it all and you don’t refill it, you will have the problem that if he is thirsty at another time and doesn’t have water, he won’t be able to drink the way he wants.
Tips for feeding a bichon froze
- Other care of the Bichon Froze: The Bichon Froze not only has to eat every day to survive, but other things must also be taken into account so that this dog is completely happy and can have 100% guaranteed health, without diseases. And with all the care that this dog needs. Among what we have to do is take care of his hair, take him out for a walk every day, take him for check-ups, teach him education and finally bathe him when he has to. We are going to explain all these things in more depth, so that if you have a Bichon Froze, you can take care of it the way it should be, without there being any major problems later or any kind of strange problem or illness.
- Caring for its coat: The first thing we should know is that the Bichon Frieze’s hair is special, that is, it is a coat that must be cared for in a slightly different way than what we are used to. This hair should be brushed almost every day, otherwise it will get tangled and it will be somewhat ugly compared to other dogs that do brush their hair. As for the cut, from time to time it can be cut a little, so that the dog does not look like a sheep.
- Take him for a walk: All dogs in the world should go for a walk and the Bichon Froze was not going to be the exception that confirms the rule. What you have to do is take it out between 3 and 4 times a day, just before the meals you give it. The thing just before meals is so that when you get home and your appetite is whetted, eat what you have and don’t snack on anything or ask for more food. As for the time, I always take him for a walk of half an hour, since more time is not good for such a small dog.
- Veterinary care: These dogs should be carefully monitored, as they can suffer from some diseases such as dwarfism due to the characteristics of their breed. For this reason, we must go to the vet approximately once a year at least, so that they can attend the dog and check it to see if something is wrong. You must also strictly adhere to the vaccination schedules, vaccinate the dog when it is his turn and make sure that nothing bad happens to him and take him if that is the case.
- Train it: Training it is a good option, because if you do it, you will be able to have a more educated dog than if you don’t. Of course, make sure you do it in the first two years of life, because if you do it later, the dog will become an adult and you will no longer be able to tame it correctly.
- Hygiene: Finally, we must bear in mind that hygiene is one of the most important things there is, since we must ensure that the dog is clean without diseases. Of course, do not get too hot, since these dogs do not need you to be bathing them all day, since once every month and a half is more than enough for them to be clean and cared for.
