All dogs are different. Should you give this to your dog? Or would you better give her something? Dog food contains the nutrients your pets need for growth and health. Read on to find out more.

Steps

1. 1 Wash the dog bowl thoroughly and make sure it is clean.
2. 2 Ask your veterinarian what type of dog food you should buy. There are different dog foods, the choice of food depends on the size of the dog and its age.It is very important, for example, that the puppy gets the large puppy food pieces and not regular adult dog food.
3. 3 Ask your veterinarian for the exact amount of food to feed your dog. Although there is a manual on the pack, your veterinarian can adjust these amounts based on the dog's weight.
4. 4 If your dog doesn't like a particular brand of food, try a different one. Some dogs are very selective and do not eat everything. You can enhance its flavor by mixing it with chicken broth or a spoonful of warmed dog canned food.
   • If you change your brand, do it gradually. If you suddenly switch from one type of food to another, your dog may experience indigestion. This can easily be avoided by gradually mixing the new feed into the old one until it is completely replaced.
5. 5 Make a feeding schedule. And feed at the same time every day.
6. 6 Remember, dogs also need fresh, clean water, available at all times.
7. 7 Pet your dog and play with it for a bit while you prepare food for it. This will make both of you more comfortable.

Tips

• If you can, get your dog to sit and stare at you (not at the food) before you feed him, and try not to look the dog directly in the eyes. This will let the dog know that you are in control and are not afraid of it.
• Be careful around your dog, especially if you don't know it.
• Feed your dog after eating yourself. You need to make it clear to the dog that you are the owner, not her.
• If you have a pit bull, it is best not to pet him while he is eating.

Warnings

• Avoid foods that are harmful to your dog. For example, chocolate, onions, or grapes.
• Do not feed your dog human food, as this can make it sick.
• Many dogs react aggressively if you try to take food from them while they are eating.
• Make sure not to overfeed or underfeed your dog.
• Don't give your dog bones unless you bought them specifically for him. They are most likely to crack and can injure your dog's throat and mouth.
