What you feed your dog matters.
It affects their energy, digestion, skin, coat, weight, behaviour, and overall health.
Here’s how to get it right.
Choose fresh or gently cooked meals where possible
Avoid heavily processed foods
Look for clear ingredients you can name
Skip the fillers: no sugar, artificial colours, or preservatives
Not all dog food is the same.
Check meat content – is it real meat or “meat meal”?
Look at the top 5 ingredients – they make up most of the food
Avoid anything you wouldn’t eat yourself
Treats are part of your dog’s diet.
Use healthy treats made with real ingredients
Keep them small and frequent for training
Balance treat intake with daily meals
Your dog will show you how well their diet is working.

If something feels off, consider what’s in their bowl.
Do you know what’s really in your dog’s food?
Could your dog feel better with fewer additives?
Are you feeding based on their life stage and activity level?
