Although it was once common practice to feed dogs whatever scrapes came from the dinner table, today we realize that there is much more to feeding an animal than we thought. It is important to give them foods that will provide them with a healthy life and a long one too. In fact, there are a number of researchers who dedicate their lives to understanding just what your pet should and shouldn't eat. You can bank on what they have found that should be in your dog's diet.

It is important to provide your animal with the right type of food. That means that you should give them food that is right for the dog's age and activity levels and that is right for their size as well as health. You'll find a wide selection of products to choose from in your pet store. It is wise to purchase the best quality of food for your pet that you can afford to buy. Realize that if you purchase poor quality food for your animal, their health can be lacking.

Your pet's diet should include some dry food because the crunch will help to keep their teeth clean and it will also help with gum health. It provides the fiber in your dog's diet that is necessary. You can use wet food, but don't give them too much of it. For example, pour some over your dog's dry food instead of giving them the whole can. If you are interested in providing your pet with home made foods, find dog specific recipes throughout the web to use. It is important not to give your dog leftovers from your meal though. You need the food to provide nutrition to your dog based on his needs. Things like fats, and fillers in human food, as well as spices, can make a dog sick.

As a puppy, your dog needs to eat frequently throughout the day, about three or four smaller meals, until they are about three months old. Then, cut it down to only three meals a day for the next three months. Ideally, your adult dog should each twice per day. You should provide your dog's food to them for up to twenty minutes. At that point remove it if they have not eaten it and are not in the process of doing so. This will help to stop picky eaters. You do need to provide a constant amount of clean water for your pet to drink as well.

Ideally, you will need to get recommendations about the amounts of food to feed your dog from your vet. Sometimes, information is also available on the food bags. Not sure if your pet is eating the right amount? Here's a test. If you run your hand against the dog's side, you should feel their ribs without pressing. If you cannot feel them without pressing, they may be overweight. If you can see them, though, they are underweight.
