Point 2: The food eaten is not nutritious enough

Dogs must consume a variety of nutrients every day, such as protein, fat, minerals, vitamins, etc., to ensure healthy growth . If the diet is too simple and the food is not nutritious, the Teddy dog ​​will have poor physical fitness and be thin, which is malnutrition.
