What to Feed Your Dog
A healthy diet is key to your dog’s long, happy life. Dogs need:
​
-
~55% protein for healthy muscles and tissues (beef, lamb, chicken, turkey, fish, eggs)
-
Carbohydrates & grains like brown rice, barley, or oats for energy
-
Vegetables such as broccoli, peas, beans, carrots, and pumpkin for antioxidants that boost immunity
​
Some owners prefer a raw meat and bone diet, which is safe when uncooked and closer to what dogs would eat in the wild. Always consult your vet before changing your dog’s diet.
