- DOGS AND THE IMPORTANCE OF ROUTINE CHECK-UPS
DOG DIET
A properly balanced diet includes carbohydrates, fats, proteins, vitamins, minerals and water. Dry dog foods are the least expensive maintenance diet for a healthy adult dog, who is relatively inactive and lives in comfortable conditions. But this diet may not contain an adequate percentage of high quality protein for growth or stress conditions. Semi-moist foods cost two or three times more than dry, and canned foods that contain high quality protein and fats are four or five times as expensive as dry foods. One of these higher cost diets is necessary when conditions demand a higher level of performance, for example, puppy growth and showing or competition. You may wish to combine dry and canned foods. Be sure to read ingredients and nutrition labels, and follow the charted instructions for proper quantities and feeding times, to avoid obesity. Puppies and older dogs will have altered diets. - EXERCISE
