Which dry food to choose for a dog

Choose dog food that is labeled super premium.

They always occupy a leading position in the rating of dry food for dogs of all breeds.

Veterinarians consider these types of meat to be the most useful, as they are dietary and prevent the development of chronic diseases in the animal.

These types of food contain all the necessary nutrients for a dog - proteins, vitamins, minerals.

Premium food also contains fiber, which is important for healthy digestion of the animal.

When choosing, pay attention to the shape and consistency of the food.

Dry food is produced in the form of croquettes, which come in different sizes.

The composition of dry food should be as nutritious as possible and consist of meat, vegetables, and also contain a small percentage of cereals and offal.

Also choose food with high nutritional value. They contain useful nutritional supplements, such as vitamins.

You should not feed your dog different types of food.

The fact is that the ingredients of different foods most often do not combine well with each other.

Due to the mixing, micro- and macroelements are less absorbed by the dog’s body.

The pet may develop digestive problems, the quality of its coat will deteriorate, and its health and mood will deteriorate.

Therefore, you can mix different foods only if you need to change one dog’s diet to another.
