For dogs, eating less and more meals is healthy.

In order to verify the correct diet of dogs, someone once did an experiment. The experiment was designed as follows: 48 2-week-old dogs were divided into two groups. One group consumed 1745±46 kcal per day, the other group consumed 25% less, and the daily calorie was 1352±34 kcal per day. Then keep it in the dog's pen. The trial lasted for 14 years and was not over until the last dog died.

(Because of the long time and high cost, at the end of the experiment, half of the people participating in the experiment reached retirement age. So this is a rare trial.) The results of the

trial are as follows:

1. Eat 25% of the dogs every day, regardless of their happiness and mobility, there is no difference from another group of full dogs. At the same time, dogs that eat less weigh 20% lighter than dogs who eat full;

2. In the first 5 years, there was no difference between these two groups of dogs. Five years later, the difference emerges: dogs that eat full food begin to develop obesity, osteoporosis, and diabetes. By the 7th year, dogs experience rapid aging and die one after another. However, dogs that are not full are still healthy and ageing appears several years later.

3. Finally, if you eat 25% less, your lifespan will be extended by 50%, and your average lifespan is 1.5 times that of a full-fed dog. Moreover, the quality of life of these dogs in their later years is much better than that of full-fed dogs.

So it is recommended that everyone try to keep their dogs full as much as possible. The concept of a dog being 80% full is: stop after orgasm after eating, stop when you want to fill another bowl of rice, pat your stomach, and feel that it is not enough to be finished. Of course, dogs have different ages and their calories and nutritional ingredients.
