The owner has to be responsible for a full-fledged diet of the dog. His health and appearance and also mood will depend on the correct feeding of the pet. The main thing to be defined whether there will be a dog on natural feeding or on ready-made feeds from the producer.
The dog can ask from the owner practically any food: out of curiosity or desire to regale. However veterinarians and professional manufacturers warn owners of animals against feeding by what the dog itself will ask. For a pet it is necessary to approach the choice of food seriously and after careful consideration as feeding of a dog directly affects her health and health.
At a diet there have to be all traditional components: proteins, fats, carbohydrates, cellulose, vitamins, water. Caloric content of dog food pays off on average in the scheme: 75 kilocalories on 1 kilogram of weight of an adult individual and 140 kilocalories on kilogram of weight of a puppy. Elderly dogs, as a rule, eat half less from an adult portion. A mistake will assume that at the heart of food of a dog there is a meat. Unlike cats, dogs are not so carnivorous: meat and a liver for them is possible and it is necessary to combine with boiled rice and egg, to add powdered milk to food. It is gradually allowed to enter an offal (liver) and fish into a diet, it is obligatory without bones. Together with meat or it is separately necessary to feed a dog with vegetables. The crude and melkonarezanny or grated carrots, cabbage, sweet pepper, beet will approach. Greens in a diet are welcomed, it is not necessary to forbid to chew to a dog on free walking edible herbs. Sometimes it is possible to treat the pet with unsweetened fruit, ship's biscuit or a piece of cheese. However, with dairy products it is worth being careful: at many dogs from them diarrhea begins. The approximate ratio of meat, grain and vegetables at natural feeding of a dog has to correspond to a proportion 30:40:30. Dogs also eat ready industrial forages with pleasure both dry, and damp (tinned). When choosing this type of feeding it is better to give preference to the balanced expensive sterns with high caloric content (brands a premium and a super-premium) at the heart of which - meat products, but not soy or corn.
