Dog Nutrition

Most dog owners understand that their canine companion is a carnivore and needs to eat meat in order to remain healthy. Your dog is certainly not a vegetarian, and you can easily tell this by simply looking at his teeth which are obviously made for tearing meat.

Ideally, a good dog food should consist mostly of named, specific meats and plant foods. The more specific the food, and the closer to its original state, the better. That means that chicken meat or chicken meal rate far better than ingredients described as poultry, broths, or by-products.

Here are some tips for selecting a proper diet for your dog. For many people, the question of what to feed a dog isn't an important one. They just buy the brand that looks the best and costs the least at the grocery store.
