Carbohydrates and their influence on Rottweiler puppy's growth
Sources of carbohydrates and
vitamins
Carbohydrates supply the energy requirements of the dog. Such
foodstuffs as sugar, cellulose, starch are among the carbohydrates
assimilated by Rottweiler’s body. A quantity of carbohydrates is
contained in black and white bread, crackers, cereal products
(wheat, buckwheat, barley, manna, oat, maize, rice grits and
peeled barley) offal, honey.
Some vegetables are rich in carbohydrates: carrot, potatoes, beet,
cabbage as well as fruit and berries. Day’s allowance of
carbohydrates is to be 15-16 g per 1 kg of Rottweiler puppy’s body
mass. Starting from 1.5 months age Rottweiler puppies are allowed
to eat bread. It is recommended to feed the dog with black bread
soaked in nonfat broth together with meat food.
Fresh white bread is undesirable in the diet of young dogs as it
contains gluten that slows digestive process. It is best to parch
white bread. When Rottweiler puppy is 2 months old you may add
crackers to his meal. Different cereal products can be used for
cooking of porridges for young Rottweilers.
All of them are digested in the dog’s body quite well. Semolina
may be exclusion in some cases and when pet is fed with it for the
first time you should eye how the puppy will feel after feeding.
If there are no any symptoms indicating disorder of gastroenteric
activity then it is quite allowed to include this dish in the diet
of Rottweiler puppy.
Nevertheless, feeds of semolina are to be very abstinent. In order
to cook porridge for Rottweiler at the age under 2 months old you
should break cereal products by a mincing machine and then mix
them up in hot milk, broth or boiling water.
