As it becomes 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 a large appetite, and their food should be very different from that of humans.

Dogs are big carnivores

First of all, dogs have a great need for protein and minerals. Dog owners should pay attention to supplements for their dogs. However, the feeling of fullness that humans can experience, dogs can't feel. The excess energy will be stored as fat in the dog's body, the dog will gain weight and become fatter and the result will be problems with the circulatory system, skin and organs.

Convenience foods

Convenience foods are popular with dog owners as dog food because of their nutritional balance. However, you still need to make appropriate adjustments to your dog's food based on your dog's daily activity. Please pay attention to the description of the dog food ingredients on the food packaging.

Calcium supplements

Before the advent of convenience foods, people mostly provided dogs with leftovers. In this way, they will be deficient in calcium, and some people will give dogs some bones as a calcium supplement. In fact, many dogs experience diarrhea or difficulty defecation after eating bones. Because bones are not part of a canine diet at all. Of course, in order to satisfy the dog's desire to chew, you can give it some toys designed for chewing, teeth and jaw development, so that your shoes and other furniture in your house are preserved.
