DOG NUTRITION
A nutritious, balanced diet is essential to keeping your dog healthy.
Nutrients such as protein, fat, vitamins, and minerals are important players in the skin and coat health of dogs, and minimising risk of health issues.
Adult dogs only need to be fed once a day. Each dog is different however and their energy requirements vary. If they are an active dog then they will probably need more food, or a higher energy food, than a dog that sleeps all day.
WEIGHT PROBLEMS
We all know obesity is unhealthy but do you know just how many health problems it can cause for your pet? Obesity in dogs is almost as common as obesity in humans. Overweight dogs put greater stress on their joints, hearts, lungs, liver, and kidneys. They are more prone to injury and are at a higher risk during surgical procedures.
