A lot of animal protein is contained
in sea and river fish however you should include it in
Rottweiler’s ration carefully. Only when puppy is 4 months old it
may start eating fish but no more than 1-2 times a week. It is
recommended not to combine fish with meat but feed the puppy with
it instead of meat thus alternating fish days with meat ones.
You should remember that too regular eating of fish by both young
and adult dogs leads to scission of vitamin B complex accumulated
in the dog’s body and, consequently, to deficit of these vitamins.
Shortage of vitamins adversely affects the life activity of
different organs and systems of the dog’s body: disorders of
actions of the bowels, decrement of hair appearance, slow-up of
growth of all the body, etc.
Sea fish sometimes contains the particles of heavy metals which
influence on Rottweiler puppy’s body may cause serious
intoxication. It is possible to feed Rottweiler puppy with raw or
boiled sea fish. Before giving it to the fosterling you should
necessarily extract all the bones from it.
As for river fresh-water-fish you should always boil it in advance
because this fish happens to be infected with helminth larvae
which in turn when entering the dog’s body cause serious diseases
of the digestive tract. Leading place in the diet of Rottweiler
puppy should belong to meat all the same but not to fish however
every fish feed given to the dog is usually a little more than
meat feed.
