Dog Diet
It is strongly suggested that as a caring dog owner, you provide your dog with a daily diet filled
with nutritional foods and multivitamins, if he needs them. It is preferable to give your dog dry
dog food as compared to the moist, tinned stuff that since this rubs against the teeth to perform
the action of a plaque-remover and over time, reduces it too. Adding water to the dry dog food
or even adding gravy to it robs the small kibbles of this essential property, so dog owners
beware!
As for the treats you give your dog – well, they aren’t much different from the snacks we
humans munch on, which we all know are not that great for us either since there are very few of
us that actually reach for that recommended crunchy fruit or veggies bag when our stomach
growls! So, let these be a rare treat and of dog-bones, raw meat, jerky or dog bikkies (unless
they are the hard kind) and keep the greens and corn starch chews that have more than just
empty calories like rawhide given between meals, typically. These actually help prevent tartar –
so stick with the program, man – and you can be your dog’s best friend by promoting his long
life through a good, regular and well managed oral health program!canine diet
