What our dogs eat, like what we eat, greatly affects our quality of life. Descendent from wolves, domestic dogs have similar nutritional requirements. Dogs need protein, fat, vitamins, minerals like calcium and phosphorus, and water; and they should avoid foods like sugar, grains, yeast and chocolate. Species appropriate foods ensure optimum health and wellness.
