Caring for a four-legged friend comes with a lot of responsibility. You become the person they rely on for all of their basic needs and being the best pet parent you can be isn’t just about doing the bare minimum. If you want to be the best friend your pup could possibly ask for, giving them shelter, food and the right veterinary care is just that! It’s meeting the necessities to make sure they can live a comfortable and pain-free life.
Going the extra mile to make sure your pooch thrives means enriching their lives with toys, walks and teaching them how to make doggy friends out and about. While you may pop to the shop and get the first dog food on the shelf that you like the branding of, consider if it’s the best option for your beloved pet. Matching them with the right food is much more than just picking something out at random.
How do I pick food for my dog?
Different diets suit different dogs and finding the right one for your pooch can sometimes be a little tricky. First, you need to find a food that has good quality ingredients that will fulfil all of your pup’s needs to keep them fit and healthy. Avoid any diets that are full of nasties like artificial preservatives, flavours or colours. It should be both complete and balanced meaning your canine companion will be able to get all the nutrients they need from their food with this diet alone. It’s nice to give treats sometimes but you should buy a food that you know is giving them enough protein and vitamins.
A balanced dog food will usually contain between 20 and 30% protein but as dogs are omnivores they also need a source of fat content and vegetables to be able to get all their vitamins and minerals. Most diets will also contain some carbohydrates and fibre for energy and to keep their digestive tract functioning healthily.
You can sometimes find a diet with great ingredients but after a trial period, you might just find that your pup’s coat lacks a bit of shine or they don’t have the right spring in their step. Sometimes it takes trying a few different diets to find the perfect match for your furry family member.
