It is recommended to select pet food together with a veterinarian. Knowing the characteristics of the breed, the specialist will help to create a balanced diet.
And you can independently draw conclusions that the food is not suitable for your dog.
How do you know if your dog needs to change his diet?
First sign: behavior
If a cheerful and energetic pet looks lethargic or has become very active, then this is one of the signs of health and diet problems.
Second sign: allergy
This reaction can be caused by the components of the food. The dog may start scratching due to itching of the skin, redness or rashes may appear on the skin.
The third sign: wool
If the coat starts to fall out or looks dull, then the dog's body is clearly lacking nutrients.
The fourth sign: appetite
The pet will not eat food that the dog does not like. Here you also need to take into account age characteristics - not all food is suitable for puppies and old dogs.
The fifth sign: weight
It is important to monitor your weight. A sudden weight gain or loss may indicate digestive problems.
In any of these cases, there is no need to rush to the store for new food.
The first thing you should do is contact your veterinarian, who will help you find the cause of the problem and, if necessary, select a suitable diet.
