Everything You Need to Know About Feeding Your Dog
Feeding your dog quality food and ensuring they have access to fresh water 24/7 is essential to keeping their skin, coat and fur healthy, and support healthy organ function.
How Do I Tell If My Dogs Food Is Right for Them?
Read your dog's poo! The quality of your dog’s number two will show if he has a healthy diet. Seeing diarrhea is a common sign your dog is not eating correctly. It may also be a sign of illness. Another common sign is that your dog may be struggling to pass his poop, possibly straining. It may seem unpleasant, but taking notice of your dog's poop is very important in understanding the health of their digestive system. As you are the person picking up your dog poop, you are the best person to notice if anything changes or looks different.
Please Don't Feed Your Dog Human Food Scraps!
It is strongly advised not feeding your dog human food, unless you are 100% sure it is harmless. Onions are toxic and could kill your dog – this is a common ingredient in human meals like lasagna, stir fry's, spaghetti bolognese (commonly given to dogs). Why? A dogs liver is not built to process many foods that humans often feed them. Anything toxic will make them sick, and when too much is consumed, they can die.
