Dog diet: food choices and practical rules that work. Schedule a consultation at SpotMeUp.
There is no one "perfect diet" for all dogs - what matters is tolerance, health, activity and what you can maintain on a regular basis. Dry food is convenient, wet food is more tasty, and BARF requires knowledge and consistency.
Instead of starting with ideology, start with observations: poop, skin, energy, weight. It's also worth looking at protein quality and overall digestibility, not just buzzwords. Any change in diet should be gradual.
In SpotMeUp, select Animals → Animal dietetics and arrange a consultation if your dog has skin, weight or stomach problems. In the comments, add: age, weight and current diet.
Frequently asked questions:
Is dry food bad? No - what matters is the quality and fit to the dog.
Is wet food better? It depends - it can be helpful, e.g. with hydration, but what matters is the composition.
Is BARF for everyone? No - it requires knowledge and balancing.
How to change food? Gradually over several days.
How do you know if a diet doesn't suit you? By skin, poop, energy, weight - observe.
Can a dog eat "human" food? Some products are ok, some are not - it is better to consult.
Can I reschedule the consultation? Depends on the rules.
