Here are some good ideas for types of dog foods.
|
|
|
|
| butcher's scraps, canned or fresh, is not a complete feed | canned chicken must be balanced with other foods | frozen chicken is an inexpensive way of providing meat protein for small dogs |
|
|
|
|
| commercial canned food may be complete feed or mixed | rice is a source of carbohydrates for home mixing | dry complete feeds have become very popular |
|
|
|
|
| semi-moist feeds must be kept in sealed packets | the traditional feed of biscuits with gravy | dog biscuits are not adequate as a dog's only food |
|
|
|
|
| meaty treats make excellent rewards | most dogs enjoy bone-shaped biscuits, and hard-baked (so safer) bones | chews made out of raw or processed hide are usually a safe substitute for bones |
|
|
|
|
| very nearly every dog loves chocolate | some biscuits include a charcoal variety, intended to help digestive problems | biscuit treats are produced in various flavors |
Dogs need to be provided with a minimum level of each of around thirty nutrients, including the vitamins and minerals, if they are to stay healthy.
