What DO we recommend feeding your dog?
Unlike cats, dogs are not true carnivores, they require a variety in their diet to meet their nutritional needs.
Therefore, an ideal diet for your canine companion will contain meat, grains, vegetables, and fruits. We suggest reading the label on the bag and opting for a dog food that is NOT grain free, with a label that read "complete and
balanced*. We recommend brands such as Royal Canin, Hill's Science Diet, and Purina.
These brands meet or exceed the AAFCO minimum nutritional standards and are backed by feed trials, quality control, and guaranteed
nutritional analysis.
For further questions about your pet and their specific diet requirements, please
consult with your veterinarian!
