Currently, there is balanced food that, throughout serious investigation, tests and development can be considered complete for the needs of our pets; with the right balance of proteins, vitamins, minerals which favour growth, and the right levels of digestibility and other important factors which enable a greater life expectancy for our animals, as well as a better quality of life.

It has been widely proved that it is better to provide our dogs with good dry balanced food than any other food we can prepare for them. Even veterinarians suggest in most of the cases not giving them our food left overs because that increases indigestion and ruins the engineering of the mixture or balance of commercial balanced food.

Our dogs generally tend to eat what they need with balanced food if we adjust it to its breed, activity and age; avoiding both getting obese, undernourished or thin, since they are made with the correct quantity of flavour for our dog to like it and eat it but not to the extreme of becoming fat.

When they are puppies it is even more important to assure the animal good food, because they develop in 6 or 8 months’ time what we do in 15 or 18 years’ time. That’s why it is so important to give them food that makes us sure we are providing them with Proteins, Calcium, Vitamins and other factors which are involved in growth.

If we wanted to change food, it is important not to forget that they need time to adapt to the new food: during 5 to 7 days the previous food must be mixed with the new one.
