DOG HEALTH & NUTRITION
A good diet helps dogs fight disease, grow proportionately, and
mature/age gracefully. Size, breed, skin sensitivity, coat,
digestive sensitivity and other factors will impact a dog's
ideal nutritional needs.
TIPS:
 Feed your dog a high QUALITY kibble. Be sure the food is approved by
AAFCO - Association of American Feed Control Officials. The AAFCO
is an organization that regulates strategies for the pet and
livestock industries. Brands that comply with the AAFCO standards
can display on the bag "a complete and balanced diet", meaning
that the food is acceptable as a complete diet without any
other supplementation needed..ie..wet food, bones, etc.
LIMIT your treats!! When training or for a reward, get in the
habit of using a dry bone treat, or just a piece of kibble.
Provide only COLD or ROOM TEMPERATURE water for your
dog.
NEVER feed your dog: Raisins, grapes, chocolate (contains
Theo bromine and caffeine, both are harmful for your dog), alcohol,
Tylenol, Ibuprofen/Advil, Antifreeze, bleach, watch batteries, moth balls,
fabric softeners and other detergents, mouthwash, peach pits, household
plants(i.e. poinsettias, lilies, ferns, devil's ivy, aloe, and ivy).
