Dog's nutritional needs
To keep a dog healthy, energetic, and thriving, it’s essential to meet its daily nutritional requirements. Dogs need energy to stay active, protein to maintain muscle mass, and vitamins and minerals to support optimal organ function, skin, coat, and immune system.
Daily needs should be met without overfeeding. Excess energy in a dog’s diet can lead to unhealthy weight gain, which is known to have significant consequences on their well-being. On the other hand, an underweight or malnourished dog is also undesirable, as prolonged insufficient nutrition can negatively affect their body over time.
It’s a good idea to weigh your dog regularly to monitor any weight changes. If you don’t have a scale, simple body condition scoring techniques can help you assess your dog’s weight and body shape for potential changes.
A dog’s energy needs vary depending on weight and activity level. Learning to calculate your dog’s energy requirements makes it easier to provide the correct amount of food from the start. Understanding how to adjust their diet based on weight and activity ensures you can increase their intake during periods of higher activity or reduce it during less active times.
