Tips on dog food
As I have posted earlier also dog food is an important aspect of overall health of a dog. Just as humans dogs need all the essential nutrients in their diet for the health of their body. A good diet will give him a shining coat free from any infections and make him energetic without getting him obese. A puppy should have a good dose of calcium and phosphorus in his diet for the proper growth of his bones. Good bone mass will ensure that he does nt have bone related problems later in life. Puppies grow very fast and you can give him these extra nutrients by giving him diet supplements.
The big question for dog owners is whether to feed a puppy with commercial dog food or give him the home cooked food. A dog needs a balanced diet. Dog foods are good and they claim to have all the essentials but without any standards set for them but we can not be sure whether the statements made are good and true. Though there are regulatory authorities but there has to be a defined standard and enforcement of those standards. There could be preservatives and chemicals added to those products which can be harmful to a pet’s health.
If you want to feed a pet with dog food buy a good reputed brand, check out the expiry dates on the packets and by from a good place where you are assured of the genuine product. A bad dog food can be dangerous for your dog so be very careful while choosing one. Your vet may be a good person for some recommendations. It is best to feed your pet both home cooked food and the dog food so that he does nt stick to only one type of diet and forms a habit out of it. Giving the nutritious home cooked food has other benefits as well.
