Dog's appetite and pickinessA dog's appetite was affected by many factors and was related to its pickiness.
** 1. The influencing factors of food intake **
1. ** In terms of size **
- The larger the size of the dog, the more energy the body needed, and the larger the food intake, while the smaller the size of the dog, the less exercise it had, and the smaller the food intake. In the case of a dog's body size, the feeding ratio was generally 5% - 15% of its body weight.
2. ** Age **
- ** Puppy **: Within a month after birth, it depends on breast milk. As it grows up, breast milk is not nutritious enough. At about the eighth week, it can be weaned and start to eat dog food. In order to meet the growth and development needs of puppies, their food intake will gradually increase, and they need to follow the principle of small and frequent meals, feeding 3 - 5 meals a day.
- ** Adult dogs **: After one year of age, the body will develop steadily, and the food intake will be relatively stable. The dog will be fed 1 - 3 meals a day. The food intake can refer to the dog food instruction manual or the above-mentioned weight ratio formula.
- ** Elderly dogs **: As they grow older, their physical functions will decrease, and their food intake will decrease compared to when they were young.
** 2. The relationship between appetite and pickiness **
1. ** Eating too much leads to being picky **
- If the dog ate too much, such as the owner feeding more than it actually needed, or eating too many snacks, the dog would not feel hungry and might become picky. For example, the normal amount of food was a certain amount, but if the amount of food fed per meal was too large, the dog might lose interest in food in the long run and become picky.
2. ** Effects of long-term single diet **
- When dogs eat the same food for a long time, such as eating only one kind of dog food for a long time, their diet structure may be simple, which may lead to a decrease in appetite and become picky. In this case, it might affect one's appetite. Even if one had a normal appetite, they would not be willing to eat enough.
3. ** Health problems affect food intake and pickiness **
- If the dog's stomach was not good, it would not want to eat if it ate indigestible food or if its gut flora was imbalanced. Its appetite would decrease and it might be picky. In addition to not eating, sick dogs may also be accompanied by symptoms such as poor mental health, fever, severe vomiting, diarrhea, etc., and they may also have a decrease in food intake and picky eating.
Even a novel that disgusts one's appetiteI recommend " Endless Martial Force ". This is a virtual online game novel written by Wen Ruo. It was a story about a joker courting death in a strange world. The overall evaluation was not bad. The style was similar to Thriller Paradise. The main character was neurotic, chuunibyou, shameless, and decisive in killing. The cheat was high IQ and the ability to synthesize weapons. Although it was not as good as the early stages, the protagonist's character description was not good, and the writing was immature, it had its own ideas. The dungeon was original, and the mystery was very attractive. There were also some minor flaws such as the main character's lonely life and the possibility of a bad ending, but that didn't affect the fact that it was an interesting novel. Its recommendation index was quite high.
I would also recommend " The Strongest Cursemancer from the Hunter," a light novel created by a person who did not leave his name, a derivative doujinshi novel. Worry had transmigrated to the world of " Full-time Hunter ". Before that, she had transmigrated to the world of " Return to Incantation " and had gained powerful abilities. She had started a new journey in the Hunter world. The characters were rich, such as the male lead, Worry Gojo, the male supporting, Kichiro, and Sisso. This book was recommended. The 100-chapter sapling seemed to have stopped updating, but if you couldn't read " The Hunter ", this book would be very comfortable.
" Japan Sengoku: The Rise of the Tiger of Wakasa " was not bad either. It was a historical novel written by Adeno Bear. The young Zhou Liangchuan had transmigrated to Japan during the Warring States Astronomical Era to dominate the world in Wakasa. There were many characters in it, and the male lead, Takeda Nobushige, had his own characteristics. It was a new book by an old author. Those who liked Japan's Warring States Period could take a look.
I don't recommend " Third Miss's Tricks." It's an ancient romance novel written by Qi Xiaoyao. It's said to be very bad and might cause indigestion.
" The Legend of the Director " was a novel written in the realm of urban and entertainment stars. The main character, Shao Shuai Jun, was reborn and became a famous director. However, there were many problems, such as the main character's sullen personality and the empty plot. It was not recommended.

I like the plot and how it was not an overrated story like CEO, billionnaires and whatnot. I especially like the way it incorporated the soul transmigration. However, the update is very slow. I want to read more chapters because it keeps hanging my appetite 😵😵
