Summer Food for Dogs

In my previous article, I stated that summers are a time when dogs become extremely lethargic, panting in the heat and not enjoying meals, sadly waiting for the summer months to pass.

So I had mentioned a new summer diet for dogs that included a breakfast of milk and lightly toasted bread (around half past seven in the morning).Around noon, plain yoghurt or sour curd.For dinner, make chicken stew.

During the summer, yoghurt or curd helps to keep them cool.So you can purchase yoghurt or sour curd.If you don't have access to yoghurt or curd, this is an easy solution.

100 gms of yoghurt or curd is sufficient for any healthy adult dog.

However, if your dog enjoys it, you can increase it to 150 gms per day after three weeks for large dogs such as Retrievers, German Shepherds, and Doberman.

Keep an eye on the dog to see if it has acidity after eating yoghurt or curd. Then, after three days, resume giving your dog yoghurt or curd along with an antacid that is easily available.

Summer Food for Dogs

Over the last 30 years I have keeping large dogs like Doberman, German Shepherds, Retrievers and each year I have only concluded that summers are a time when these dogs become very lethargic, panting in the heat and not enjoying meals, sadly waiting for summer months to just pass.

So I thought that I will try a new diet and wait and watch their reaction. So I started giving a breakfast of milk, lightly toasted bread ( around half past seven in the morning).

Around noon plain Yogurt Sour Curd .

In the evening after sunset dinner comprising Chicken stew along with boiled Chicken, boiled carrots beans, cabbage, boiled rice.

My years of observation is that they really enjoy this new healthy diet meal.

Yogurt or Curd really cools them down in the summer months .

So you can try giving Yogurt or Sour Curd . You can buy the Yogurt or make Sour Curd in your kitchen .100 gms is good for any healthy adult dog.
