How to choose the most suitable one? Which is the best?
When choosing a suitable dog food, we must take into consideration the following characteristics of our dog:
Weight/Size
According to the International Canine Federation (FCI), dogs can be classified by size according to their weight as follows:
Dogs weighing less than 5 kilos up to 14 kilos are small, those weighing between 14 and 25 kilos are medium, and dogs weighing 25 kilos or more are large.
It is also important to consider the size of our dog's jaw when choosing dog food, as this determines the size of the kibble, avoiding both choking and too rapid eating.
Age
Nutritional needs also vary according to the stage of life our dog is going through. In small breeds, they are considered no longer puppies between 9 months and 1 year old, and become seniors around 8 or 9 years old. In medium breeds, they are considered adults from around 1 to 1.5 years old and become seniors around 6 or 7 years old. Finally, large breed dogs grow up to 2 or 3 years old, becoming adults, and are considered seniors from 5 or 6 years old.
Special needs
Lastly, when choosing our dog's food, we must take into consideration their health status and specific nutritional needs.
For dogs with sensitive skin, it is important to choose foods with Omega 3 and 6, which help to maintain healthy skin, reduce itching, and have a high protein content that reduces skin allergies. These foods are ideal for dogs with allergies or intolerances, as they are grain-free.
Many dogs suffer from permanent or transient illnesses that make digestion difficult. In these cases, the absence of cereals also facilitates digestion, and probiotics help to maintain intestinal health. In addition, dog foods with fresh meat not only give great taste to the food, but also help in your dog's digestion.
