Dog nutrition and the essential nutrients required for your pet dog

At Hills Pets we have dog food that supply the correct nutrients required in keeping your pet dog healthy with a glossy coat, good strong bones and tough muscles.
 
In simple form, nutrients that are supplied as part of dog’s nutritional requirements help your dog to grow and provide your pet with energy. Proteins can be found in meat and they are invaluable as they are chemicals which are made up of amino acids. A small dog would not require the same amount of meat as a working dog. Feeding your animal with too much protein can cause it to have a problem with kidney disease. It is therefore a matter of feeding a dog the correct portions according to the size and breed of your pet.

Fats are easily misunderstood as they are considered the problem with regard to obesity. There is a need for dogs to have dog nutrition with Omega fatty acids added. This can be in their dog food or as a supplement.

Carbohydrates make up for half of a dog’s daily requirements. Dogs can be fed good quality food with carbohydrates such as rice and wheat.  Some pet dogs are allergic to wheat and their diet will have to be reassessed by a vet.

To absorb fats and carbohydrates for optimum dog health your pet will also require vitamins, minerals and water. Calcium and phosphorous, when given in the correct proportions, will help your pet to have tough bones and powerful muscles.
