Your dog lives for their food, so it’s only fair that their food should help them to live a healthier and longer life. Throughout their adult years, it’s helpful to review their diet and consider:
- Is your dog getting the right balance of nutrients, vitamins and minerals?
- Could your dog’s itchy-scratchy have anything to do with a food allergy?
- Does your dog have any health conditions that could be managed better with diet?
- Could they benefit from a designer diet? From homemade food?
- And is your dog getting all they need from commercial dog food?
