Choosing the right food for your dog
 Foods, whether for dogs or humans, have to supply energy for movement and from which the animal’s body derives heat, materials for growth and repair and substances that support these activities. For dogs, this involves a diet with a satisfactory mixture of the major nutrients – carbohydrates, fats and proteins. They must also have a sufficient intake of vitamins and minerals – in proportions that do significantly differ from the needs of humans.
Dog foods can be divided into several broad categories
- Moist diets – these are the tinned foods available
- Dry foods – are becoming increasingly popular and need minimal preparation. They can be poured straight into the bowl; some need hot water to moisten the feed
- Semi-moist – these diets are not intended to provide a balanced diet on their own. They need not only a carbohydrate mixer but high protein feed as well so getting the quantities accurate is important
- Biscuits are available in various flavours and good for treats. Charcoal ones are intended to help digestive problems
- Meat & raw bones – different types of cooked loaves and raw minces are available in store. For more information on these products, visit www.vetsallnatural.com.au/aboutus.html www.scottys.com.au / www.barfworld.com

- Foods are available for puppies with growth needs, active dogs, older dogs, small &large breeds, holistic diets, sensitive skin diets, oral care diets and those designed as supportive diets for various illnesses – eg diabetes and kidney diets.
