You can buy inexpensive dog food that might not have all the necessary and recommended daily allowances needed for a nutritional diet. Some people feel that feeding a dog people food is acceptable, but they are completely wrong. A dog needs the nutrition’s found in dog food to stay healthy.

The diet can affect the inner health of the dog and the outer health. If you feed your dog an improper diet, the hair can become dull and fall out at a faster rate than a dog that has a proper diet.

Although they seem to prefer what you eat, you need to limit the intake of these foods and make them eat their own food.

Whether you buy the dog food already made or you choose to make it yourself, you need the right nutritional values per serving.
