Dieting Your Dog

A dogs diet needs are not that different from our own. They require the same vitamins

and minerals as we do just not in the same quantity. They require protein, carbohydrates

and fats just like we do. Their stomachs work similar to ours. There are only a few

differences. If we eat too much and not exercise enough, we get overweight.

Overweight can bring on a whole slew of problems for us. For a dog, it is no different.

If they eat too much and do not get enough exercise, they too will become overweight

and they too will deal with a whole slew of problems also. The food we put into our

body can affect our skin and our hair. The food we put on a dogs body affects their skin

and their hair. Why do some dog owners think otherwise? We eat certain foods to give

us the nutrition we need to keep us healthy. The same is true for dogs. While they can

not eat the same foods we do, careful attention should be paid to the ingredients in dog

food to make sure they are getting a healthy and nutritious meal.

Poor diet in dogs could mean many things. Dogs with a poor diet do not have high

energy levels, they many develop healthy problems down the line, they can be

overweight or underweight. They can have teeth problems, bad breath, infections. The

list goes on and on. An unbalanced diet for you dog could mean a shorter lifespan that

your dog has.
