You can feed your dog ‘dry’ or ‘wet’/tinned food. As to what type, this will depend on the type of dog you have and the dogs’ preference. Food will come in a variety of flavours, and just like people, they won’t necessarily enjoy every one. If you’re unsure which kind to purchase, it is a good idea to visit your vet. They will be able to direct you to the most suitable based on age and/or breed. The amount a dog needs will also vary, the larger and more active the animal, the more he/she will require. You need to refer to the manufacturers guidelines or again, ask a vet. Try and refrain from giving him/her ‘tit-bits’ from your plate. This will not only encourage your dog to scrounge from you, but will also put them at risk of becoming obese. Giving your dog a chew that promotes healthy teeth is a good idea. However, don’t over feed them.
