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.
