Technological Standard dry dog food is no better for dogs’ dental care than wet food. There are some special “dental” diets that include ingredients that limit the accumulation of dental tartar in the mouth, as well as having a more abrasive, chewier formulation which does a better job of rubbing plaque away from the surface of the teeth. Alternatively, you can offer your dog a daily dental chew, or you can resort to daily toothbrushing. Is raw food a good option? Puppies need to be fed around four times daily till three months of age, then three times daily till four months of age, then twice daily. It’s important to note that it takes six to eight weeks for changes from a new diet to be visible in the animal: it takes this long for nutrients to be absorbed, processed and integrated into body cells.

Many older dogs have specific health issues such as obesity, arthritis or heart disease and a questionnaire is completed online to choose the best Tails formulation for your pet. This can help to individualise your older pet’s nutrition in the optimal way.

Any commercially manufactured dog food in the UK that meets UK Pet Food guidelines will contain complete nutritional requirements for pets, says the British Veterinary Association (BVA). To find out which are the best and worst dog food brands, in November 2021 we surveyed 1,564 Which? members who had bought dog food recently and asked about their experiences with their chosen brand.Maize flour, rice, animal fats, dehydrated poultry protein, maize gluten, minerals, hydrolysed animal proteins, vegetable fibres, soya oil, fish oil, fructo-oligo-saccharides, mono - and diglycerides of palmitic and stearic acids esterified with citric acid, marigold extract (source of lutein). Protein sources: dehydrated poultry protein, hydrolysed animal proteins. Crude ash: %. Crude fibre: 2.2%. Crude oil fats: %. Moisture: %. Protein: 18%. How much your dog should eat will depend on factors such as breed, type, age, health and lifestyle. For example, a working sheepdog needs more energy than a small dog with a less active lifestyle.

However, the BVA warns that it can be difficult to do it well and, unless you work with a veterinary-trained nutritionist, there's a risk of harm to your pet’s health. Do dogs need different food as they get older? The PAW report also estimated that around half of the overweight and obese dogs had health issues which could be related to their weight.

Costs are based on an average medium dog (10-25kg), such as a French bulldog, on a simple dry-food diet. Medium dog: monthly food costs There's some debate regarding whether one is better than the other.

It’s important to introduce a new food gradually, by mixing with your dog’s original food for a few days, and observing how your pet reacts. Careful observation over six to eight weeks of feeding the new diet may be needed before you can make a clear judgement about whether a new , less expensive food suits your pet. It makes more sense to consider this with adult dogs, rather than puppies or elderly pets whose digestive systems may be more easily upset. My top hypoallergenic dog food is the insect-based Yora pet food, available as both dry and wet formulations, which has the added advantage of being sustainable and animal-welfare friendly, as no living creatures (other than insects) are used in its manufacture. Dog food made from insect larvae are likely to be highly effective since dogs are unlikely to ever have been exposed to these proteins before, they are highly unlikely to be allergic to them.

The most common food intolerances appear to be colourings, sugars, wheat, milk and soya. Obviously, not all pets are sensitive to these things, but if the effects keep reoccurring, it’s best to consult a vet. How much should I feed my dog? We've compared the monthly cost of the three most popular choices, as well as the best and worst-scoring brands from our survey. A dog on a poor diet tends to pass voluminous droppings more often, while a high quality diet creates smaller, infrequent motions because more of the nutrients are absorbed rather than passing straight through the system. This means that a cheaper diet is not always better value: more of the product is “filler” that passes straight through the animal.

Dry food on its own is a good answer for most dogs, but wet food tends to have a richer odour, making it more palatable, so if you have a fussy dog, you may prefer to offer them wet food.

Raw meat is an increasingly popular choice for some dog owners, but vets have reservations about this trend for two main reasons. First, raw meat often carries bacteria that can cause disease in immunocompromised humans in the household (such as babies, elderly people or anyone on chemotherapy). And second, care needs to be taken to ensure that a balanced diet is fed: pure meat does not provide enough nutrients. If you do choose this option, look for a supplier who is a member of UK Petfood, (formerly the Pet Food Manufacturer’s Association) so that you can be sure that certain standards are adhered to.
