Feeding Tips

What to Look For

Always look for a label on dog food that says it provides "complete" nutrition. This will ensure that your dog is getting all the nutrients he needs and you won't need to supplement. Keep an eye on your dog when you start feeding him a particular brand to make sure the food agrees with him. For example, if he has diarrhea, the food may contain too much fiber.

As with most things, when it comes to dog food, you basically get what you pay for. Some of the lower priced foods can be poor quality and not provide enough nutrients. It is probably best to buy a well known brand from a reputable company that has most likely done research to make their dog food formulation measure up to the caring dog owner's expectations. Also, you often need to feed your dog less of the more expensive brands because it takes less volume to provide your dog with the needed nutrients. This should be factored into your price comparisons. The premium foods are usually higher in fat and calories than other brands, which gives your dog a shiny coat.
