As it becomes more and more common for humans and dogs to live together, some dog owners will unconsciously feed their dogs the same food as humans. In fact, dogs are carnivores with large appetites, and their food should be very different from that of humans.

Dogs are carnivores with large appetites

First of all, dogs have a huge demand for protein and minerals. Dog owners should pay attention to supplementing their dogs. However, dogs cannot feel the feeling of being full that humans can experience. Excess energy will be stored as fat in the dog's body, and the dog will gain weight and become fatter. The consequences will be problems with the circulatory system, skin and organs.

​Convenience food

Convenience food as dog food is popular among dog owners because of its nutritional balance. However, you still need to make appropriate adjustments to your dog's food based on your dog's daily activity level. Please pay attention to the description of dog food ingredients on the food packaging bag.

Calcium supplement

Before the advent of convenience food, people mostly provided dogs with leftovers. In this way, they will lack calcium. Some people will give dogs some bones as a calcium supplement. In fact, many dogs will develop diarrhea or difficulty defecating after eating bones. Because bones simply don’t belong in a canine diet. Of course, in order to satisfy the dog's desire to chew, you can give it some toys specifically designed for chewing and promoting the development of teeth and jaws, so that the shoes and other furniture in your home are saved.
