How to choose?
When choosing high-end products, it is worth paying attention to the following points.
-
The age of the dog. First of all, you need to take into account the age of the dog. Small puppies do not digest food well and are slow to adapt to new foods. Adult dogs need more food to maintain their normal activity level. Elderly dogs, in turn, need foods that are high in vitamins and minerals.
-
Features of health. Products for pregnant, spayed and neutered dogs are present in the range of almost every brand. Many companies are also involved in the production of medicated feed. Therefore, it is easy to find suitable diets for pets with health problems. It is recommended to choose food for “problem” animals together with a veterinarian.
-
Breed... Different breeds have their own needs. Little Yorkies, Chihuahuas, Pomeranians, French Bulldogs, Dachshunds and Pugs have fast digestion. Moreover, the stomachs of such dogs are small. Therefore, you cannot overfeed them. Toddlers should choose diets high in animal protein and fat. For Shepherds, Labradors and other large dogs, it is worth buying products with larger granules. If possible, it is best to choose foods that are designed for a specific breed of dog.
-
Color... Especially carefully you need to select food for dogs with white hair. If you introduce the wrong foods into their diet, the pet's coat will be covered with dark red spots. In this case, smudges may form under the eyes.
To prevent this from happening, dog owners need to select food for their pets that does not contain cereals, beets and seaweed. Rice, as well as turkey and lamb, are good for the color of Labradors and other pets with light wool.

Choosing a diet for your dog, you should take into account his individual preferences. The dog will eat food with pleasure only if he likes it. It is necessary to introduce new food into the pet's diet gradually. So he will get used to it faster and will not experience any stress.
In general, holistic foods are an excellent diet option for pet dogs. If you choose the right products for your pet, he will get everything he needs from it for normal development.
