ROYAL CANIN for medium-sized dogs
Veterinarians recommend that owners of purebred dogs combine natural food with industrial food, and in some situations, completely stop at the factory product. Food for dogs of the French company ROYAL CANIN is an advertised premium class food in the Russian Federation. The world trade mark specializes in the production of dry and wet (canned) types of feed, suitable for different breeds and age categories. In this article, we'll talk about food for medium-sized dogs.
Peculiarities
The manufacturer positions ROYAL CANIN as premium food. This means that the consumer should see meat in the first place in the feed formulation, in other words, the protein component, followed by carbohydrates, fats, low molecular weight carbohydrates based on beta-glycosidic bonds, vitamins and micronutrients. Most dog owners are frustrated by the fact that proteins are in third place, and also that there is no information on the percentage of the contained components. The food is highly loaded with inexpensive corn and obscure ingredients.
Analysis of the ingredients of dry food.

Vegetable proteins... They are digested worse than animals, the manufacturer does not indicate the concentration and types of plants from which the protein is obtained.
-
Rice... Fast carbohydrate with high calorie content.

The nuances of feeding
Do not feed your dog excessive amounts of food, even when asked to do so. Gradually, her gastrointestinal tract will adjust to the chosen food, and saturation will begin to come sooner. If you think something is going wrong, seek the advice of your veterinarian first.
You should not give pets food from your table. The gastrointestinal tract of the dog, and especially after a period of eating dry rations, adapts to a certain mode of work, in this regard, it simply will not be able to digest ordinary food, including meat. The dog may start vomiting, diarrhea, colic. In addition, food from our table is dangerous for overweight dogs.
A container with fresh, clean water should be located near the food bowl.
It needs to be changed daily, and sometimes more often. Particles of food fall into the water, so the dog may refuse to drink. The bowl must be washed constantly to prevent plaque and mucus on the walls. Give your pupil the same water you drink yourself (excluding sugary and carbonated drinks), you cannot take it from the tap.
