Your Dog Feeding Guide
Every dog is different, but there are general dog feeding guides that we can apply to any breed or mix.
Puppies need smaller portions, given more frequently and with a higher calorie content.
Older dogs need more fat and protein than younger dogs.
Sensitive stomaches might benefit from limited ingredient diets.
When you are looking for the right food for your dog, it helps to pay attention to certain aspects of them.
Their breed, age and any medical issues are a great place to start.
From there, just make sure you transition between foods slowly, and feed them in amounts and frequencies that match their age and stage of life.

Question:? My 12 yr old minischnauzer is really pretty active, walking a mile a day with me. Food for him has created a problem; the Vet recommends kibble but that is full of grain which I don’t consider healthy. Bud really likes some people food, which I prepare that is fully balanced with protein, fresh veggies and a little rice/potatoes as carbs. He is quite active despite his age but does love his naps as our weather now is pushing 95 degrees and no one wants to be out. Am I feeding him the wrong diet? Or would the foods you list be better for him? He has had surgery several yrs ago for kidney stones. but seems quite healthy now.
Except that my husband has just died, and Bud is lost too.
