Your Dog's Diet

It is a usual practice to administer extra doses of calcium or vitamin compounds in an additional form to the diet. This is so, not only because of the information received from other dog owners about the benefits obtained by it and also by the wrong believe of non-existing secondary negative effects from these applications.

All individual diets must be dictated by professionals veterinarians, who will prescribe the adequate diet to each dog, any extras added can cause an unbalance in the same and annuls part or all of the benefits it can bring.

The idea of making the dog fasten for a day, each fifteen or thirty days, to attain a better functioning of the intestinal tract and by it get a better future assimilation of the nutrients contained in their daily diet, must be banished as an obsolete idea. Nonetheless, on determined cases, and without being incompatible with the above mentioned, it is highly recommended to fraction the daily portions of the dogs food in several doses (incorrect assimilation of nutrients, hyperactive exemplars, etc). Synthesizing as there are no two equal as much as in general lines of conduct or behavior that they can present. Also, there aren't any related to the specific needs that the diet they receive should cover.
