When dogs are left to eat what they want, they would probably eat fresh meat all day. However, dogs are able to eat and digest most types of food. As a pet owner you have a few options when it comes to feeding your dog.
You have the option to feed your dog:
- Dry food
- Canned Food
- Food from you kitchen
Whichever route you choose, there are some general do's and don'ts that should be applied when feeding your puppy dog.
Do
- Make sure your dog has her own bowl
- Feed your dogs at a distance from each other (if you have more than one)
- Serve food at room temperature
- Provide fresh water always
Don't
- Feed your dog expired food
- Leave fresh food sitting in the bowl (dry food can be left for longer periods)
- Feed your dog scraps while you are sitting at the table
Always remember that puppies and dogs enjoy food and you can tell a lot about your dog by monitoring her eating habits.
- If your dogs suddenly stops eating his food it could be a sign that he is not well
- You are the pack leader. It is up to you to monitor your dog's food consumption and regulate the amount you pet should eat
- Don't allow your dog to become overweight - it will cost you money as well as your dog's life in the long run
- If you calculate the amount of calories your dogs will consume everyday, remember to include any dog treats in your calculations
- Speak to a vet if you are concerned about your dog's eating habits
