Full feeding of Cane Corso puppy is obligatory including of
fats, both vegetable and animal origins.
Essential sources of animal fats are goat and cow milk, sour
cream, butter. They are rich in vitamin A as well as other
substances and elements that are useful for growing body of Cane Corso
puppy, such as lipotopic factor, phosphatides.
Deficit of animal fats in dietary of young Cane Corso
may lead to quite undesirable results : dampened growth
and development of skin disease, hypovitaminosis,
anomaly of normal coat pigmentation.
Surplus of fats in the dog’s organism is destructive to its
health. Overfeeding with greasy food may cause distress of some
vital body functions with the result that such Cane Corso
becomes lazy, apathetic. Fats of vegetable origin are contained in
seed-oil. Fats are very essential for the puppies.
Day’s allowance of fat consumption for Cane Corso puppies at the
age of 1 year or less is to be 2,6-2,7 grams per 1 kg of Cane Corso’s
body mass. During feeding you may give dairy butter or
vegetable fat as well as beef lard into soups and porridges cooked
without milk.
Sources of carbohydrates and vitamins.
Carbohydrates are among the
main power generators. Food substances such as sugar, cellulose,
starch contain carbohydrate group assimilated by dog organism.
These ingredients are contained in black bread, crackers, cereal
products (wheaten, buckwheat, pearl, manna, oat, made of finely
ground barley, corn and rice grains), offal, honey. Some
vegetables are also rich in carbohydrates (carrot, potatoes,
beetroot, and cabbage) and some fruit and berries are.
Daily scale of carbohydrates is to be 15-16 grams per 1 body mass
of Cane
Corso puppy. Only when Cane Corso puppy is already 1.5
months old you may feed it with bread. It is recommended to soak
rye-bread in non-fatty broth and the dog must eat it together with
meat food.
New bread is undesirable to add to diet of young Cane Corsos.
It is best of all to parch wheat-bread before giving it to the
dog. Porridges for young Cane Corsos can be prepared from
various cereal products. All of them are too suitable for the
dog’s digestive system.
One should pull down grits by coffee-grinder and then mix them in
hot milk, broth or boiling water prior to cooking porridges for Cane Corso
dog at the age of less than 2 months old. The resulting mass
is held in closed saucepan during 15-20 minutes and then cooled in
order to feed the puppy with warm food.
Until Cane
Corso puppy is 6 months old it is better to prepare chaff
porridge for it. Use of whole oat gains should be completely
excluded if Cane Corso puppy isn’t 6 months old yet. Besides, you
need to remember that it is possible to feed Cane Corso
puppy with oat porridge not more than 1-2 times a week, because
overfeeding with it is conductive to inflammation of circumanal
glands.
