Diet & Nutrition

As with humans, canines need a nutritious and balanced diet to be their best both mentally and physically. 

 

Unable to make their own choices of diet, we, as their owners, are responsible for what they eat. By providing a nutritious diet, we in return may be rewarded with a companion who is fit, healthy and who hopefully will live a long and happy life. Many conditions that are seen by vets, are as a result of what is consumed by dogs, and obesity is on the increase in dogs which can lead to a number of serious health issues. These can be physical and psychological. Often, by amending a dog's diet just a little, to ensure they are receiving better nutrition it result in reducing the risk of long-term or life-threatening conditions. Meals can be supplemented, or changed, to help support many medical conditions

Diet has been shown to have an affect on a dog's normal behaviour and a dog that is in pain, or not feeling well, may communicate this with undesirable behaviours.

​

Diet is a consideration where there is a behavioural issue, general health concern, or to better support a known condition. Please feel free to ask for advice during any appointments or training sessions.
