How old is she/ he?
The cardinal rule of canine nutrition It
depends on the age. Whether it be the nutrients,
quantity, or frequency, everything is dependant
on how old your dog is. Little puppies at 6 to 8
weeks of age need to be fed 4-6 meals a day since
theyre growing rapidly. However, Nutrition for
older canines are completely different than
younger canines. Younger dogs generally require
higher calories, protein and carbohydrates, while

low sodium diet. Based on your dog's specific
needs and health conditions, he may also need

Breed
The one-diet-fits-all approach will never
work, as every dog parent already knows.
Nutrition has to be tailored for breeds based on
their activity level, metabolism rate and
size. For example, if you compare a tiny
Chihuahua and a huge Rottweiler, their
nutritional needs are very different. In
addition, the health risks associated with
specific breeds help decide the specific
nutrients to counter these diseases. Dachshunds,
for instance, need a diet to promote lean body
mass to avoid back issues. German Shepherds, on
the other hand, are predisposed to Bloat, and may
need a low quantity but higher frequency diet.

  preferences when it comes to trying out new
  food. While one may like peanut butter, the other
  may love banana flavour. Therefore, its your
  duty to understand your dogs taste and
  preferences and provide them with the best. This
  will not only improve their taste buds but will
  also help them complete the entire meal at once.
