Tips for changing teeth of Shiba Inu:

1. Improve the diet of Shiba Inu

During the teeth changing period, the Shiba Inu will feel pain, and the appetite will be much lower than usual. In addition, it is not easy to chew food during the teeth changing period, and the burden on the stomach will increase, which will easily lead to indigestion in the stomach, which will make the Shiba Inu's appetite even worse. The pet owner can no longer feed it as before, but it can enrich its diet structure, and the food becomes delicious, which can stimulate the appetite of Shiba Inu and make it appetite. Therefore, pet owners can add some easy-to-chew and delicious foods to dog food, such as egg yolks, chicken breast shreds, tofu or vegetables, etc. If the pet owner usually makes homemade food for Shiba Inu, you can cook some lean meat porridge, millet porridge or chicken porridge, vegetable porridge, etc. for Shiba Inu to eat.

2. Feed digestion powder

Because it is not easy to chew food during the tooth change period, it is difficult to digest food that has not been crushed into the stomach, which leads to food accumulation in the Shiba Inu's stomach. When Shiba Inu has this situation, it is also one of the reasons for its poor appetite. Therefore, pet owners can fast for half a day or a day to see if the Shiba Inu is still not getting better, then they can feed it some digestion powder to increase its intestinal digestive enzymes and beneficial bacteria.

3. Do more exercise

When pet owners are free, they can play with Shiba Inu at home more, so as to consume part of its energy and make it hungry, thus arousing its desire to eat. If the weather is fine, it would be even better for the pet owner to take it outdoors for exercise, so that it can not only exercise, but also bask in the sun to promote calcium absorption.
