Good quality food will help to keep your dog healthy and happy so please bear the following in mind….At the core of any feeding regime (regardless of the type of pet) you need to provide balanced and varied meals.Domestic dogs no longer hunt for food, so it falls to the owner to offer the right nutrients and vitamins as part of a feeding regime.Most dogs are happy to eat just about anything so it is tempting to feed them our leftovers.Your dog needs a good balance of key ingredients from each and every meal.
If you buy a scientifically proven dog food product you are a step closer to meeting the health needs of your four legged friend.Remember that although your dog may enjoy eating your leftovers its nutritional needs do not match yours.Don’t be daunted by drawing up a new feeding regime for your dog. It is not that difficult and the health benefits should increase your motivation.
Many dogs are greedy and can go through stages of overeating, which you should not assist with.If you truly love your dog you need to make sure you don’t over feed it, or feed it the wrong foods.
