Hunger specifies and habit to gnaw of the dogs

The organism of the animals in general and the dogs in particular, when private in its feeding of some necessary dietary element to its good corporal development (physicist), it makes with these animals look for in the nature what this lacking to them in the feeding. When they lack to them for example: Calcium or Match - they eat land, they lick wall, or adobe objects as clay jars, pots, etc. the call Is this specific hunger, not more present between human us (we lose this characteristic for our call Civilization), however, between the animals evident it and and easily proven. A good feeding must contain all the necessary elements to the harmonic development of the body of the animal, and in general a balanced ration of good quality will count all the necessary one. Had the fast corporal development of the dogs, being enough to enhance this fact to cite itself that a dog reaches its half complete development and maturity with only 1 and the two years, it becomes necessary therefore, that the dogs are fed of intensive form, mainly in its first infancy (of the birth it ties the 4 months of age), and that this feeding is balanced (contains all the necessary elements, such as you leave minerals, aminoacidos (proteins), essentials, fats, carbohydrates, vitamins and micron-elements in general). Summarizing, the ration (food), beyond complete in its constituent it also must be in the necessary amount (nor extreme that it can cause obesidade, nor insufficient that comes to cause other decurrent curses. This preambulo was necessary, in order to be understood in that I will now look for to explain, how much to the fact of the majority of the younglings dogs, to present this inhabits to gnaw objects that them are to the reach, as shoes, slippers, feet of table, toys of children that them is accessible, etc. I INHABIT TO GNAW: It appears the times when the dog is recém.desmamado (the 30 45 days of age), and in these cases two reasons are the determinative ones:

1. Or the feeding this incomplete one in its constituent, or its amount is insufficient.

2. Some concomitant illness, as verminose, that it is determining as they will participate for the worms contained in its digestive device in its feeding. In some cases, very special, some organic or physiological cause, that are hindering the perfect assimilation it food, that even so being served the animal, this year can exist have capacity for its assimilation and exploitation for its development.

In the first previous case, it is enough to correct what it will be made a mistake in the feeding, or substituting the quality of the ration or its amount. No longer second, the treatment for correction of this I inhabit, is enough to be managed the vermifuge indicated, when the cause is one verminose, or treatment of the disease in the case. For occasion of the dumb one of the milk dentition for the permanent one, this habit frequently occurs also to gnaw, motivated for the irritation caused to the gengivas for new teeth arising and pushing milk teeth. One sends regards in all the cases, previous parasitológico excrement examination, to know the species of worms that are parasitando the animal, similar to make possible the administration of the vermifuge that better if gives for such worm parasite. I inhabit it to gnaw, appears in the majority of the cases, for occasion of the dumb one of teeth (between 3 months and way up to 6 months of age, in agreement 0 variable the coffer animal it). The teeth of the definitive dentition in the dogs, that are for coming to substitute the first dentition (called milk), when bursting in the gengiva they provoke pain and fort necessity of the dog to bite, and for this and necessary some hard object, reason for which the dogs in this age look some thing for this, and inhabiting our houses, will be the objects that them is accessible, such as our slippers, feet of table, etc! What to make in this case? Simply supplying something to them of hard and firm consistency, as a same bone or some rubber object, as we make with ours you drink in this phase, giving to them chupetas or the classic rubber ring to be bitten. The owner of the dog, with it coexisting and thus having chance of observing dioturnamente, and the person more indicated to inform to the professional Veterinarian the habits of its dog, and thus, to guide of the best form to correct this I inhabit of the infancy, that in case that year is corrected when the still young dog and, hardly it will be in the adult age, for the fact of in the adult age when not corrected in infancy, to have if Tornado effectively I inhabit! One sends regards therefore to the proprietors of dogs two things:

1. Comment of as I inhabit it if installed and the possible determinative causes (feeding, tooth change?)

2. Which the foods (ration) given to the pet? E its amounts at the different times of its development?
