WHAT'S THE BEST FOOD FOR YOUR FURRY FRIEND?
Creature Companions|August 2023
Pet food is a specialized diet for domesticated animals that is designed to meet their nutritional requirements. It is important to feed your pet good quality food because it is one of the ways in which pet owners can influence longevity and quality of life. The quality of food you feed makes a direct difference in your pet's health. Dogs eat anything that is given to them but that does not mean that they should. They should only be given healthy food for proper weight management and well-balanced nutrition.
WHAT'S THE BEST FOOD FOR YOUR FURRY FRIEND?

WHAT TO FEED MY DOG - NUTRITION IS CRITICAL FOR YOUR DOG’S HEALTH.

Plenty of water: Just as it works with humans, optimal nutrition begins with ensuring that your dog has access to clean, plentiful water. Water makes up more than half of your dog's total body weight. Give two and a half times as much food as water.

Don't skip carbohydrates: Carbohydrates should always be a part of your dog's diet. The majority of dog meals are dry and include 30 to 70 percent carbs. Make sure your dog doesn't get too much carbs. Excess carbohydrates are stored as fat in the body and can eventually contribute to obesity. Rice and veggies are high in fibre and provide an excellent supply of carbohydrates.

Add Fat To Their Diet To Boost Their Energy: They have a significant energy content in comparison to carbs. Fish, chicken, meat, and oils are all good sources of fat. Plants provide some fats, as well. Healthy skin and coats benefit from fats.
