A Healthy Diet For Your Small Dog
By Luke Donnelley
When it comes to feeding your small it is important to ensure that you are familiar with the dietary requirement of your pet, and you are aware of what to feed him, what not to feed him, and how to ensure that he is receiving a well balanced and nutritious diet. It is important for all dogs to receive the right diet so that they can maintain their health and well being through a variety of vitamins and minerals.
It is also important to monitor the diet of a small dog, as many smaller breeds – particularly indoor dogs that may not get much in the way of exercise – are prone to weight gain, and this can have a negative effect on their health in many ways. Some important factors in relation to providing your small with a health diet include:

Lower quality foods will also leave him hungry because of the lack of nutrients, so he will end up eating more of it to feel full, which means that it could end up costing you just as much as higher quality food in the long run.
- Combine canned food with kibble: It is a very good idea to ensure that your dogs diet is partly made up of kibble because this will help to maintain his dental health, and with a number of small dogs prone to oral problems this could prove an invaluable part of the diet. With many high quality ‘complete’ dried foods available for dogs these days, you can provide your with a diet that is purely based on dried food rather than
