Proper nutrition is essential for your dog's overall health and wellbeing. A balanced diet provides the energy and nutrients needed for growth, maintenance, and activity.
The amount and type of food your dog needs depends on several factors, including age, size, breed, activity level, and health status. Always consult with your veterinarian to determine the best diet for your specific dog.
