How To Choose The Best Food For Your Dog | Dogalize
If you want to keep your pets as healthy as possible, the first thing to do is offering them a well-balanced high-quality diet. A good food will keep your dog’s hair coat shiny and sleek. It will strengthen his immune system. It will keep his digestive system in good health. But when it comes to choosing a dog food, the options seem almost endless.
Dogs, just like people, are individuals. What works for this dog won’t work for that one. We always recommend to seek professional advice, to choose high-quality food and to pay attention to food labels.
Every food on the market contains different ingredients, and each one has the potential to cause symptoms of allergy or intolerance in some dogs. Every food contains a different ratio of macronutrients – protein, fat, and carbohydrates – and a varying amount of vitamins and minerals. Some may be in excess of, or deficient to your dog’s needs.
There are many different feeding regimes to choose from: dry complete diets, semi-moist or tinned dog food with or without biscuit mixer, and home-made food. You can learn by trial and error which food works best for your dog or, rather, ask vet advice.
The most suitable diet should be easily digested and produce dark brown, firm, formed stools. If your dog produces soft or light stools or has wind or diarrhoea, then the diet may not suit your dog or it might have some kind of digestive problem, so consult your vet for advice.
Finally, remember that stability in diet will help maintain good digestion. Any change in diet should be made very gradually.
