Dog food

Preparing your dog’s food correctly involves a few simple calculations. Proportions are essential for nutritional balance: 40–50% protein, 25% fibre, 25% carbohydrates and one tablespoon of quality fat.

Kibble sold in supermarkets is not harmful, provided you choose a quality product. Where it is purchased matters less than the composition of the food itself. Well-selected supermarket kibble may suit your dog perfectly and, in some cases, even better than veterinary kibble.

Treats made with simple, natural ingredients are the best option for your dog. Avoid processed, fatty, sugary and salty foods. Choose a plain piece of meat, cooked vegetables or a small piece of cheese instead of dishes with sauces, cured meats or desserts.
