A dog’s behavior is affected by the kind of nutrition that they get. With proper nourishment, there mental abilities are better and they are able to think sharper. Dogs use their mental capacities to understand the tasks given to them; they are able to comprehend well and can perform the activities with stamina. Poor nourishment decreases a dogs’ focus and makes them prone to mental weakness.
Most dry dog foods are soybean, corn, or rice based. Some of the better brands have meat or fish meal as the first listed ingredient. Dogs eat less of the higher quality products, thus reducing the cost. Use of better dog food will decrease the amount of excrement the dog produces as well. A healthy dog tends to live longer or maximize its lifespan when provided with proper nutrition. Nutrients such as fats, proteins or amino acid, and complex carbohydrates are the important minerals that are essential for growth and a strong immune system.
An estimated 40% of dogs are considered to be overweight . The cause of overweight dogs is their caloric intake is greater than what is burned off in a day. Excess calories turn into fat, and over time this causes the dog to gain weight. Overweight dogs should have their exercise level increased, and caloric intake decreased
Overweight dogs are at risk for health problems, muscle and ligament problems, severe joint as well as respiratory and cardiac complications. Diabetes in dogs can also be a threat. In conclusion, feed your dog a good nutritional diet and both you and your dog will benefit with his long and happy life.

I'll be the first to admit that I don't know the ins and outs of dog nutrition but I'm glad that you do. I'm a late bloomer as far as getting a pet and it's nice to know I can rely on your advice and your products.
ReplyDeleteI'm pretty sure that the price of the dog food should not be the only concern or even the main concern when you purchase it. Dogs have nutritional needs that if not met will lead to health problems. Just like humans.
ReplyDeleteI know their nutrition affects their coats too. I was using an inexpensive dog food, I thought they were all alike. I asked the vet about the lackluster of Huey's coat and he had me switch his food. I couldn't believe the difference it made. I wish I had asked the vet a long time ago.
