Feeding Fido Right at Pawsies!

Feeding time is a feast for the senses...

Those eager eyes, the tail that never stops wagging, and the playful dance around their bowl.

At Pawsies, we know that providing the right diet for your furry friend is a recipe for tail-wagging happiness. From portion sizes to the ideal doggy diet, we're here to serve up the secrets to keeping those paws healthy and those tails a-wagging!

Let's dive into the delicious world of doggy nutrition.

What to Feed:

Every pup has their own taste buds, but a balanced diet is key. Opt for high-quality dog food that suits your dog's age, size, and breed. Look for options rich in protein, healthy fats, carbohydrates, vitamins, and minerals. Always check the label to ensure it meets your pup's nutritional needs without unnecessary additives or fillers.

You can also mix in some vet-approved fresh foods like vegetables or fruits, ensuring they're safe and healthy for your four-legged friend.

What NOT to Feed:

While we love spoiling our furry pals, not all human foods are safe for dogs.

Avoid feeding them chocolate, grapes, onions, garlic, avocados, and anything with caffeine. These can be harmful or even toxic to dogs. Dairy products may cause digestive issues due to lactose intolerance, and fatty foods might upset their tummies.

Sometimes owners like to give their dogs some cooked meats such as ham. Beware! the salt content. Dogs digestive systems can not deal with salt in the same way as a human digestive system

Portion Control:

Just like us, dogs can overindulge. The guidelines on dog food packaging are often excessive. After all, they want to sell more!

If you feed them fresh food, keep the portions small and balanced, ensuring they get all the nutrients they need.

Don't give in to your dogs sad begging eyes!

Special Note: Working Dog Food vs. Pet Dog Food:

It's essential to provide your furry friend with food suitable for their lifestyle.

Working dog food is designed for high-energy dogs on farms or in active working environments. For your typical pet dog, this type of food might contain excessive protein and energy, leading to behavioural issues, weight gain or other health issues.

Opt for food specifically formulated for pet dogs to ensure a well-balanced diet that fits their daily routine.

At Pawsies, we're all about those happy tails and well-nourished pups. With the right diet and portion sizes, you'll ensure your dog stays healthy, happy, and ready to embrace each day with energy and joy.

So, grab that bowl, fill it with a paw-some meal, and watch as your furry friend delights in the delicious, tail-wagging goodness. With a balanced diet and a sprinkling of love, you're serving up the perfect recipe for a long, healthy, and tail-wagging life for your canine companion!
