Choose a dog food that matches your pup’s nutritional needs — including activity level.

Dog nourishment is all about nutrients, or what you feed your dog to keep him fit. A balanced diet is essential for your dog to be happy and healthy.

Learning about the nourishment your dog needs is key to helping you choose dog food.

Because dogs are an active lot, they do eat plenty of food and they require proper food as much as humans do.

There are essentially six nutrients that are vital in dog nutrition, namely, carbohydrates, proteins, vitamins, fats, minerals, and water.

Dogs should be fed a balanced dose of vitamins, too, and you have to ensure that the food you give contains Vitamin A, B- complex, C, D, and E. Consider trying Nutriment.co.uk raw dog food, one of the healthiest options on the market right now.

It’s also important for your dog to consume enough water for the amount of food she eats.  To help make sure your dog takes in enough water, choose dog food rich in fiber.

Be sure you choose a dog food that won’t harm your dog’s digestive system in any way and is able to be easily absorbed in the intestines.

Your dog’s health and longevity rely greatly on what you feed your dog, so choose dog food wisely.

Not sure what your dog needs?

Ask some questions. There are plenty of resources out there — talk to your vet, talk to friends with similar dogs or go online.
