What is the Right Type of Food That’s Best for Your Dog?
The Right Type of Food for Your Dog
It’s important to make sure you’re choosing the type of food that’s best for your dog. Small breed dogs and large breed dogs have different nutritional needs to help them remain healthy and active throughout their lives. Here are a couple of tips to ensure you’re feeding the right formula to meet your dog’s nutritional needs:
- Small breed dogs are 25 lbs. and less
- Large breed dogs are 50 lbs. and larger
- Adult formula can be used if your dog is between the ages of 12 months to 7 years for small breeds and to 5 years for larger breeds
The Nutro Company makes a variety of natural dog foods for dogs of different sizes and ages. For dogs that need help reducing extra weight, we offer natural dog foods specifically designed for weight management. These products are formulated to provide natural nutrition at reduced calorie levels.
What’s the Right Amount of Dog Food to Feed My Dog?
The Right Amount Dog Food
The easiest way to find out if you’ve been giving your adult dog the right amount of dog food is by simply checking the feeding guidelines on the pet food package. Because they’re based on the daily calories he needs to maintain his ideal body weight, these guides are a great way to take the guesswork out of serving amounts.
One way to stay on track with feeding the correct amount is to measure the recommended amount into the bowl you’ll use to dispense food every day. Then, mark a fill line on the bowl so you don’t rely on “eyeballing” and fall back into the habit of dishing out too much.
