When beginning your quest to seek out the best dog food for your best friend,\u00a0start by asking yourself these 5 questions:<\/strong><\/h4>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n

1. Which types of food does your dog like?<\/b><\/h4>\n

Does your dog turn his nose up at dry food but come running with droll down his face when he hears the can opener? While some chow hounds will eat almost anything, some dogs, just like people, can have flavor and texture preferences. Although a dog\u2019s sense of taste is not as complex as a human\u2019s (they have about one-sixth the number of taste buds we do!), your dog can still taste the difference between bitter, salty, sweet, and sour. In fact, smell has a huge impact on the way dog\u2019s perceive taste, if it smells good, they\u2019ll probably eat it.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

2. Does your dog have allergies?<\/b><\/h4>\n

Food allergies make up about 10% of all dog allergies. Common signals your dog may be suffering from food allergies may include itchy skin, itchy ears and paws, diarrhea, or gassiness. The 9 most common allergens in dog food are beef, dairy, chicken, lamb, fish, corn, wheat, soy, and yeast. If you suspect your dog may have allergies it\u2019s important to consult your veterinarian before trying to treat the issue yourself. If your dog is suffering from food allergies look for a food that contains limited ingredients to help you discern the cause of her allergies.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

3. What is the age of your dog?<\/b><\/h4>\n

Nutritional needs vary with age, puppies have very different needs than a senior dog. Choose a food that suits your dog\u2019s size and life stage.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1528155596654{margin-top: -30px !important;}”]<\/p>\n

For Puppies<\/b><\/h5>\n

Some puppy foods are suitable for any size breed, but if your dog falls towards the ends of the size spectrum, look for a food that is specifically formulated for your dog\u2019s breed size. The bones of a Chihuahua puppy and a Great Dane puppy require different ratios of calcium and phosphorus to develop properly. Larger kibble pieces may also be difficult for a small breed puppy to chew. DHA is an essential fatty acid that aids in eye, ear, and brain development of your growing puppy. Some studies have shown that puppies fed higher amounts of DHA had increased memory and trainability. <\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

For Adults<\/b><\/h5>\n

Depending on the breed, at about 1 year of age your puppy is considered an adult. At this stage, most foods that are specifically for adult dogs or for all life stages, are suitable. Grain free diets are becoming more popular among dog owners and have shown to promote healthy coat and digestion. Always refer to the product packing for feeding guidelines based on weight and activity level to promote healthy weight.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

For Seniors<\/b><\/h5>\n

Small breed dogs without health issues can live about 15 – 20 years whereas larger breeds live about 12 – 15 years, generally. Big dogs are considered seniors at around 6 or 7 years whereas small dogs begin to age faster at around 8 or 9. Your dog may not be acting \u201cold\u201d but her needs do change as she ages. Senior dogs require less caloric intake and more fiber to promote healthy weight and digestion. Providing your dog a diet with glucosamine and chondroitin sulphate can also help with joint issues commonly experienced with age. Lack of appetite and trouble chewing can be an issue, so choosing a food that is more palatable and easy to eat may help. Lots of owners choose to switch to home cooked diets when their senior dogs aren\u2019t eating as well as they used to.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

4. Where do you shop?<\/b><\/h4>\n

Do you prefer to shop online, in pet specialty retail stores, at big box chains, or in your local grocery store? Amazon is a great source for convenient online shopping, and most brands are available for Prime shipping. With subscriptions you can get your dog\u2019s favorite food delivered on a schedule so you don\u2019t have to worry about ordering. <\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

5. What makes sense for your budget? <\/b><\/h4>\n

Brands like ZiwiPeak<\/a> offer a very high quality product, but also come with a hefty price tag at $14 – $16 per pound. Unfortunately less expensive brands also tend to rely heavily on fillers and additives to cut costs. There are some brands like Taste of the Wild<\/a> out there that offer a great product at a more affordable price at around $1.60 per pound.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1543771054311{margin-top: 20px !important;margin-bottom: 20px !important;}”][vc_column][vc_raw_html]JTNDYSUyMHRhcmdldCUzRCUyMl9ibGFuayUyMiUyMGhyZWYlM0QlMjJodHRwcyUzQSUyRiUyRnNoYXJlYXNhbGUuY29tJTJGdS5jZm0lM0ZkJTNENTI5NTg3JTI2YW1wJTNCbSUzRDcyMjY4JTI2YW1wJTNCdSUzRDE3OTU5MDIlMjZhbXAlM0JhZmZ0cmFjayUzRCUyMiUzRSUzQ2ltZyUyMHNyYyUzRCUyMmh0dHBzJTNBJTJGJTJGc3RhdGljLnNoYXJlYXNhbGUuY29tJTJGaW1hZ2UlMkY3MjI2OCUyRkRkb21pbm9lc2dpZi5naWYlMjIlMjBib3JkZXIlM0QlMjIwJTIyJTIwYWx0JTNEJTIyU2F2ZSUyMDIwJTI1JTIwb24lMjBBdXRvLVNoaXAlMjBhdCUyMFBlYWNlYm9uZXBldC5jb20lMjIlMjAlMkYlM0UlM0MlMkZhJTNF[\/vc_raw_html][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][\/vc_section][vc_section][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n
