Understanding Dog Nutrition
Dogs require a balanced diet of protein, fats, carbohydrates, vitamins, and minerals. The exact calorie requirement depends on your dog's weight, age, activity level, and health status. Overfeeding is one of the most common causes of obesity in dogs.
Key Nutrients for Dogs
Protein (25-30%): Builds muscle and supports immune function. Fat (10-15%): Provides energy and supports coat health. Fiber (2-5%): Aids digestion. Always ensure fresh water is available.
