Zizindikiro ndi Kuopsa kwa Kudya Kwambiri kwa Agalu

Mumakonda galu wanu ndipo mukufuna kumupatsa chakudya chabwino kwambiri kuti akhale wathanzi. Koma zikafika pakutumikira kukula kapena kuchuluka kwa zakudya patsiku, simukutsimikiza kuti simukudyetsa chiweto chanu. Monga momwe zimakhalira ndi anthu, pali zoopsa zambiri paumoyo zomwe zimagwirizanitsidwa ndi kudya galu. Bungwe la Pet Obesity Prevention Association linanena kuti pafupifupi 54% ya agalu ku United States ndi onenepa kwambiri kapena onenepa. Kudya zakudya zambiri kapena zopatsa thanzi kungayambitse kunenepa kwambiri, choncho ndikofunika kudziwa kuti zakudya zomwe chiweto chanu zimadya zimamupangitsa kukhala wathanzi.

Gawo la galu liyenera kukhala lotani

Njira yabwino yodziwira zomwe galu wanu amadya ndikulankhula ndi veterinarian wanu. Musanayambe ulendo, yesani kukula kwa chakudya chonyowa kapena chowuma ndipo onani kuti galu wanu amadya kangati (ndi nthawi yanji). Lembani kaŵirikaŵiri zimene mumampatsa chakudya ndi zakudya zimene mumampatsa—kuphatikizapo chakudya chosaphika, mtedza, kapena nyenyeswa za patebulo.

Onetsani zolemba zanu zonse kwa veterinarian wanu kuti adziwe kuchuluka kwa ma calories omwe galu wanu amadya komanso zomwe zili muzakudya zake. Izi zidzathandiza katswiri kuonetsetsa kuti mwana wanu akupeza mavitamini, michere ndi michere yomwe amafunikira kuti azidya moyenera.

Mitundu yambiri yazakudya zoweta amalimbikitsa kuti azitumikira molingana ndi kulemera kwa galu. Koma, kumbukirani kuti ngati galu wanu ali wonenepa kale, ndiye kuti malangizowa sangakhale othandiza monga momwe mungafunire. Musachepetse kwambiri kuchuluka kwa chakudya - funsani veterinarian wanu za izi poyamba.

Zizindikiro za galu wodyetsera kwambiri

Tsoka ilo, palibe zizindikiro zambiri zoonekeratu kuti mukudyetsa chiweto chanu kwambiri. Monique Udell, katswiri wa za nyama pa yunivesite ya Oregon State, anauza National Geographic kuti “Anthu ambiri sadziwa ngati akudyetsa agalu awo mopambanitsa kapena ayi. Akamaona agalu a anthu ena olemera mofanana, m’pamenenso zimawavuta kudziwa ngati chiweto chawo n’chonenepa kwambiri.” Mungaone kuti galu wonenepa alibe mphamvu kapena amavutika kuchita masewera olimbitsa thupi, koma sizili choncho nthawi zonse.

Itanani galuyo ndipo muwone. Ngati mumamva nthiti zake mosavuta (koma osaziwona) ndipo ali ndi "chiuno" kumbuyo kwa chifuwa chake, galu wanu ndiye wolemera kwambiri wa thupi lake. Nthiti zophimbidwa ndi mafuta okhuthala, kapena m'chiuno chosawoneka bwino, ndizizindikiro zosonyeza kuti nyamayo ndiyonenepa kwambiri.

Ngati muli ndi agalu angapo, angafunike mitundu yosiyanasiyana ya zakudya, kutengera zaka komanso mtundu wawo. Ndizotheka kuti chakudya chochuluka chofananacho chikhoza kukhala chachikulu kwambiri kwa galu A komanso chachilendo kwa galu B.

Zowopsa Zokhudzana ndi Kudyetsa Galu Wanu Mopambanitsa

Pali zoopsa zambiri zazifupi komanso zazitali zodyetsera chiweto. Malinga ndi lipoti la Banfield Hospital's 2017 Pet Health Report, kudyetsa galu mopambanitsa ndikuyendetsa ndalama zachipatala kwa eni ziweto. Lipotilo likusonyeza kuti eni agalu onenepa kwambiri amawononga ndalama zokwana 17 peresenti pa thanzi lawo kuposa agalu amene ziweto zawo zili zonenepa. Kuphatikiza apo, amawononga pafupifupi 25 peresenti yochulukirapo pamankhwala.

Ndalama zomwe zimagwiritsidwa ntchito pazinthu zachipatala sizomwe zimadetsa nkhawa. Choipa kwambiri ndi ngozi za thanzi zomwe nyama zimakumana nazo. Malinga ndi zotsatira za Pet Health Survey, kuchuluka kwa matenda monga nyamakazi ndi vuto la kupuma kwakwera kwambiri chifukwa agalu ambiri amalemera kwambiri. Kuchepetsa kuyenda chifukwa cha kunenepa kwambiri kumapangitsanso kuchira kukhala kovuta kwambiri, mwachitsanzo kwa agalu omwe ali ndi chiwalo chosweka. Pomaliza, nyama zonenepa zimakhala zokhazikika komanso zovuta kuchita masewera olimbitsa thupi. Chifukwa cha izi, amakhala pachiwopsezo cha matenda amtima.

Mumakonda chiweto chanu ndipo mutha kuchita chilichonse kuti chisadwale. Tengani nthawi mukuwona momwe chiweto chanu chimadyera ndikukambirana ndi veterinarian wanu zakusintha kulikonse pazakudya zake zomwe ziyenera kupangidwa. Inde, chiweto chanu chikhoza kupempha chakudya kapena kukuyang'anani modandaula, koma agalu alibe mawu amkati akuwauza kuti akhuta, ndipo nthawi zambiri amadya kwambiri kuposa momwe ayenera. Inu nokha muyenera kuthandiza galuyo kuchepetsa thupi pomupatsa magawo oyenera a chakudya.
