Healthy Dogs Need Healthy Dog Diets

 

Proper Puppy & Dog Nutrition

Factors like age, weight and existing medical conditions can change the nutritional requirements of your dog. Obesity is perhaps the most common problem that causes additional medical conditions, many of which are preventable by feeding your dog a healthy diet. We know that understanding dog nutrition requirements becomes more difficult as your puppy ages. The appropriate levels of calories, proteins and minerals such as calcium and phospate that comprise a healthy puppy diet are not necessary nutritional requirements for older dogs. Nutrition requirements for these older Pets are foods with fewer calories and nutrients to promote healthy aging.

At Banfield, our local veterinarians can help you understand proper dog nutrition requirements for you Pet. We start with an assessment of your dog's health and stage in life. We combine this with your Pet's individual needs, such as allergy considerations, to construct a diet that is rich in the nutrients and will keep your dog healthy.

Many years of experience have led us to select Royal Canin as our preferred dog food.
