Feeding your dog high-quality food is one of the best ways to keep them happy and healthy. The right food helps with digestion, gives them a shiny coat, and supports clean teeth and strong energy.
Every dog is different, so it’s important to choose food that matches their age, size, activity level, and health needs. Puppies, active dogs, and nursing moms need more calories, while senior or low-energy dogs do better with lighter food. Some dogs also have food sensitivities, which can cause tummy troubles, itchy ears, or dull fur. If that sounds familiar, we can help.
When choosing dog food, look for whole ingredients and complete nutrition. Try to avoid artificial preservatives or fillers. A good label should tell you exactly what’s in the food and where it comes from.
If you’re switching foods, make the change slowly. Mix a little of the new food with their current food each day until they’ve fully adjusted. Changing up their main protein every few months can also give them more variety and nutrients.
