'You are what you eat' is a rule that applies as much to dogs as it does to humans.
Complete nutrition is fundamental to the health and happiness of your dog. Here's what you need to provide to keep your dog full of life.
A dog's protein requirement depends on his life stage. Puppies need more protein for body growth, while older dogs need it to maintain good muscles and a strong immune system – helping your dog live longer.
Every living creature needs it. Water is vital for regulating body temperature, lubricating body tissue and creating new blood cells.
Always make sure that your dog has access to clean water.
Basically sugars, starches and dietary fibre. The sugars and starches provide energy while the fibre helps food pass through the intestines.
Fats provide a concentrated store of energy. Also, fatty acids help control blood flow, support the immune system and assist in maintaining a dog's healthy coat and skin.
Essential for many functions including; bone and cartilage formation, maintaining fluid levels and the transportation of oxygen in the blood. Too little or too many minerals can harm a dog's health though, so it is important to make sure the balance is right.
These work with the other nutrients to nourish your dog. Adding vitamin supplements to an already balanced diet can actually cause more harm than good.
When it comes to dog food, one type does not fit all. Ideal nutrition for your dog depends on its age and its exercise routine.
