Feeding Tips

Proper Nutrition

It is important to feed your dog a well balanced diet that provides enough nutrients and energy to ensure a happy, healthy dog. Your dog's diet should consist of the proper amounts of the following:

protein: which aids in growth and maintenance

fat: for skin and coat and energy

vitamins and minerals: for bone development [ Mmmm .. dinner ]

fiber: aids in digestion

There are minimum requirements of nutrients, and dog food manufacturers have formulated their food to met these requirements. As a result, most commercial dog foods provide a well balanced, high quality diet. Ordinarily, it is not necessary to use vitamin supplements. Your dog is most likely getting all the vitamins he needs from his food and an overdose of certain vitamins can lead to serious health problems.
