In addition to vitamins and minerals, dogs require the proper intake
of fats, proteins, carbohydrates and water in their daily diets. Just
as human beings benefit from eating healthy foods, dogs will be
healthier and more active if they are eating a quality dog food
containing everything they need. Luckily, there are several top-notch
commercial dog foods on the market today from which to choose.
Look for a quality food that is nutritionally complete; meaning that
it will provide a balanced diet for your dog. If you are unsure of
which dog food is high quality, your veterinarian is sure to have a
few recommendations. The least expensive dog food, while still being
healthy, is dry food or kibble, which is nutritionally balanced and it
will help to keep your dogs' gums and teeth in good shape. Many pet
owners supplement their dog's dry food with a canned, wet food, but if
the dry kibble is of good quality, it should be sufficient. There
isn't any proof as of yet that organic dog food is any better than the
high quality commercial brands, but if cost isn't a concern and you
feel better about it, that is another avenue....
