Many pet owners wonder what is the best food to feed their dog.

We will look into the intricacies of feeding natural and specialized foods.

What to feed a dog

Let's start with the fact that feeding natural food does not mean that the dog can eat everything that you eat.

The diet of dogs that are accustomed to natural food should include:

  • lean meat;
  • fish;
  • vegetable and fruit products;
  • fermented milk products;
  • cereals.

It is worth mentioning separately that not all dogs can eat raw meat. Therefore, it is necessary to consult with a veterinarian about the advisability of boiling the product.

It is believed that specialized feeds are more expensive for dog owners than natural food. However, the situation is different: for rational nutrition, an animal needs expensive products and in fairly large quantities.

Speaking about specialized feeds, high-quality products are immediately balanced in terms of the content of nutrients and vitamins, which can be quite difficult to achieve on your own.
