“A dog is the only thing on earth that loves you more than you love yourself.” – Josh Billings.

Dogs have conquered our lives as our best companions and partners in crime. Having a dog brings immense happiness and togetherness into the family. They are the most loyal creatures on planet earth.
There is so much one can learn from a dog. Its clumsy yet frolic nature, the energy with which they greet their parents, their constant excitement, waking up to their wet muzzle on your face, and how they support you during your most challenging times by being your curveball.
It is equally important to show respect and care to your dog as their pet parent. Like other beings, dogs require love, care, and abundant nutrition.
What are some of the Essential Nutrition to include in your dog’s diet:
A fair amount of protein, calcium, carbohydrates, fats, minerals, and vitamins as a part of the balanced diet theory keeps your fur of joy healthy and happy.
The diverse sources of proteins include eggs and chicken as the most affordable meat. These supply the ten types of amino acids that dogs depend on from food.
Carbohydrates are as crucial in the formation of a dog’s diet as it is for a human being. Including grains and plants helps accumulate fiber content. These are responsible for the strengthening of tissues and regulating digestion.
Vitamins and Minerals constitute healthy organ function and bone health. These keep their chemical reactions in check. Carrots, spinach, liver, pumpkin, sweet potatoes, fish oil, eggs, Marine fish oil, fatty fish, egg yolks, dairy products, liver, and beef are a few excellent sources.
Fat content in food is the second-largest contributor of energy for your pawsome pets. Dogs cannot produce fat by themselves. Food is their only source. These help in growth, energy, skin health, and texture.
Pro Tips:
It is vital to feed your doggos at regular intervals. This can vary depending on the size of your dogs. Adults dogs must be fed once or twice a day.
Over-eating could lead to weight gain and bloating.
The various friendly treats you offer them must constitute 10% of your dog’s daily calorie count.
