Diet therapy according to dog breed

Different breeds grow at different rates and have different lifestyles. Beyond their average size, they have different nutritional needs. Jaw structure may also be taken into consideration. For example, Pugs have difficulty eating regular dry food. Large dogs such as Golden Retrievers and Great Danes require calcium-rich food for bone and joint growth. Too much calcium in the diet from a young age can lead to joint problems.

These are some of the reasons why it’s important to consider your pet’s breed when planning your pet’s diet.

Some breeds are prone to certain medical conditions, such as gluten allergies, so this should also be considered. Consult your veterinarian or canine nutritionist, who will take into account your pet’s breed and individual needs.

Remember: As your dog grows from a puppy to an adult, his diet will need to change as well. Any migration must be done properly with the help of certified professionals. This way, over time, your pet will receive the nutrients it needs at each stage of life.
