I am very happy to raise my Shiba Inu Taozi (8)

I grow some grass at home.

In addition, I have studied the grass in the lawn of the community green belt. Generally, there are the following types.

a. Buffalo grass

b. Bermuda grass

c. Rye grass

d. Zoysia

e. Creeping bentgrass

f. Small bran grass

g. Fescue

h. Carpet grass

i. Poa annua

Although the above grasses are lawn grasses, they are actually very popular forage grasses, which means that they are indeed edible.

If there is grass that your dog has eaten before, you can buy the corresponding grass seeds online. The purchase quantity of lawn grass seeds is large (about one pound at a time), so it is better to share them with dog friends.

In addition, because these grass seeds are very small, they are easily washed away by water or float on the water surface. Therefore, they are more suitable for planting in pots with soil, rather than hydroponics.

Next, I would like to solemnly recommend wheat grass that can be hydroponically cultivated at home. Wheat grass is called grass, but it is actually the young seedlings of wheat.

Hydroponics of wheat grass only requires a tray with a grid layer, some wheat grains and clean water. The first two can be purchased online in matching sets, which is very convenient.

Method of hydroponic wheatgrass:

Soak the wheat grains overnight to let them absorb water;

then spread the wheat grains evenly on the grid, spray water in the morning and evening to keep them moist, and there is no need to bask in the sun at this time~

Day1

Day3

It is obvious that it has sprouted. At this time, put the tray in a sunny place and continue to spray water in the morning and evening to keep it moist.

Day5

After another two days, the thin wheat leaves are exposed, and watering is changed from spraying.

Day6

Day8

is already lush and green~

Day10

It has grown to 8 cm high and can be harvested for the first crop~

Cut off a small plate with scissors.

After harvesting one crop, you still insist on watering it every day, and you can grow 1-2 crops until the nutrients of the wheat grains themselves are exhausted. Isn’t it great? You

don’t have to harvest a whole plate at once. Cut off as much as your dog eats at a time, which can extend the supply period of a single plate of wheat seedlings.

Okay, let’s take a look at the consumption of peaches.

This is a video record of Taozi eating wheatgrass for the first time when she was 5 months old.

Of course, there is also a video.

Hydroponic wheatgrass has no soil, so it will not dirty the home environment and is clean and hygienic. If there are 2 trays connected for sowing, it can also achieve an uninterrupted supply of wheatgrass throughout the year. Isn’t it great?

3.

In summary, in Taozi’s daily diet, the supply of plant food adopts the above-mentioned “vegetables + self-grown wheatgrass” method, in which vegetables account for a larger amount.

Taozi is about to celebrate her 2nd birthday, and in the past time, she really has no interest in eating grass outside. I think this way of eating should have played a big role, and I am deeply relieved for this.

I hope the above content will be helpful to you and your dog.

I wish you a happy holiday.
