In recent years, the living standards of the people have gradually improved, and spiritual life has also been pursued at a higher level. Pets have also been favored by more people, so pet food and related industries have also prospered. So what should you pay attention to when choosing pet food?

The pet food currently on the market can be roughly divided into the following categories: pet staple food (cat food, dog food); pet snacks (canned food for cats and dogs, fresh packets, meat strips, dried meat, etc.); pet nutrition and health products (cat and dog food) of calcium, vitamins, protein and other nutrients).

As far as dogs are concerned, there are two types of staple food for dogs, one is finished dog food, and the other is owner-made food. If the owner has good knowledge of nutritional ratios, it is not a bad idea to make his own food for the dog, and it may even be more secure. After all, the ingredients are prepared by ourselves, so they are fresher and safer. However, if you have no relevant experience in this area, it is still recommended to feed your dog dog food to ensure the dog’s basic nutrition and avoid nutritional deficiencies or excess nutrients.

Snacks are actually indispensable and are a very necessary tool in the dog training process. When your dog behaves well, we can reward him with treats. Another thing to note is that the packaging of many snacks may be crude, so you should check whether the packaging is intact when purchasing. Also pay attention to the production date to see if it has expired. The most important thing is to check whether it has deteriorated. If it is broken, you need to throw it away as soon as possible. And throw it out of reach of dogs. If you just throw it in the trash can, the dog is likely to sneak into the trash can and eat it.

Health products include nutritional creams, hair beauty powder, calcium tablets, trace element tablets, etc. These foods cannot be fed for a long time. Health products such as nutritional ointments are suitable for picky eaters and weak dogs. Frequent feeding is not recommended. As for hair beauty products, it is not recommended to take them for a long time as they are not good for your dog’s health. As for nutritional supplements such as calcium tablets and trace element tablets, they are only suitable for dogs with special needs. For example, dogs in the rapid growth period can be fed calcium tablets to prevent bone problems.

The most important thing is that in addition to staple food, pet snacks should not be fed too frequently. When purchasing and using food for pets, you should choose it according to the pet's own physiological characteristics and growth stage, and mix and feed it reasonably.
