Have you ever wondered what goes into creating a balanced and nutritious diet for your dog? It starts with protein: quality kibble lists a named meat first, followed by wholesome carbohydrates such as rice, oats or sweet potato.
Fat is not the enemy — omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids keep skin calm and coats shining. Fibre from beet pulp or pumpkin supports digestion, while glucosamine and chondroitin look after ageing joints. Vitamins and minerals complete the picture, which is why complete-labelled foods beat table scraps every time.
Next time you shop, flip the bag over. If you can read and recognise every ingredient, you are holding a good one.
