When you give food to your dog, make sure to take into account these 4 factors:

- the size of your dog

- how active your dog is

- your dog’s age

- the health conditions of your dog

If you don’t take the above points into consideration, you are jeopardizing your dog’s health.

A lot of dog owners are not concerned with the food they feed their dogs. Most of the times they buy cheap foods that have little nutritional value. To make matters worse, sometimes they even give “people” foods to their dogs, which is terrible for their health.

There is a good chance that when you feed your dog with second grade quality foods, he will become sick eventually. In addition, he will feel tired easily. You might suppose that your dog is perfectly healthy. However, the hidden truth might be that he has fallen sick. Thus, it is imperative that you give the proper healthy foods to your dog.

The amount of food you should give your dog is somewhat determined by his size. You should also see the feeding guidelines written on the label. Keep in mind, though, that this is just a guide and should not be followed blindly. Use your own assessment to determine what is best.

Certain breeds of dog have specific nutritional requirements that must be met in their diet for them to live an optimum lifestyle. Knowing this, dog food manufacturers have started to produce breed specific dog foods.

A high energy dog will need a high energy diet. Calorie rich food will benefit a dog that is highly active, for example a working dog, needs a high calorie diet, due to their active days assisting their masters to perform important daily tasks.

It is very important to pick a suitable food for your dog based on his age. This is because dogs at different ages need different nutritional diets. Puppies need to consume foods that are high in calorie and protein, while adult dogs need a blend of vital elements to stay healthy. Senior dogs, on the other hand, need foods that can help them reinforce their bones.

Regardless of what your dog’s special needs are there is a dog food that fits. Your job is to find it.
