Is feeding a dog only dog food too monotonous?

Feeding a dog only dog food is not overly monotonous, as dog food is specifically researched and developed for dogs. A good quality dog food can provide all the necessary nutrients and trace elements that a dog needs. The addition of meat in dog food can also meet the dog's demand for meat, and the particles of dog food can clean the dog's oral cavity during consumption. Therefore, it is not a problem for a dog to only eat dog food. However, if the owner wants, they can also provide some treats to enhance the relationship with the dog, serving as rewards.

So how to choose a good dog food?

First of all, the owner should look at the important ingredient list. The ingredient list is arranged from high to low in percentage order according to the ingredients in the dog food. It is best if the first ingredient is meat, followed by meat meal. What the owner needs to watch out for is if the grain content is too high in the ingredients, the dog may have a higher likelihood of being allergic to the dog food, and the dog's gastrointestinal tract may be intolerant of grains, leading to digestive problems. The remaining ingredients account for the proportion of crude protein and crude fat, which also needs attention.

These are the precautions to consider when selecting dog food for normal healthy dogs. An unsuitable dog food can cause severe tear stains, rough hair, and various digestive tract problems. Dogs with existing digestive and urinary system problems should be even more cautious when choosing dog food and even opt for prescription food directly.

If the owner feels that feeding a dog only dog food is too monotonous, they can prepare some treats for the dog, such as boiled chicken breast. Chicken breast is easy to digest and high in nutritional value. If the owner doesn't have time, they can also choose high-quality freeze-dried products as treat rewards.
