Dog food

Dog food is the most significant decision a owner makes every day: it determines your dog's energy, digestion, skin, and coat. There is no single right choice — when choosing dog food, it is important that meat or fish dominates the ingredients and that the recipe matches your dog's age, size, and health needs. You can find supplements and vitamins in the food supplementscategory.

What type of food should you choose for your dog?

• Dry dog food— the most convenient for everyday use, has a long shelf life, and portioning is easy. There is also cold-pressed food, which is produced at a lower temperature. All dry food.
• Wet dog food— higher moisture content, stronger aroma and taste; suitable for picky, older, or less hydrated dogs. See wet food.
• Cooked fresh dog food— gently cooked, complete meals made from fresh meat and vegetables, suitable both as a daily food and as a topper for dry food.
• Frozen and raw food (BARF)— the most natural option for those who choose a raw diet. You will find the full selection in the frozen foodcategory, and an alternative to the freezer is air-dried RAW food PALA.
• Broths for dogs and toppers— poured over dry food to make the dog eat more willingly and get more fluids. See broths and toppers.

Food based on dog's needs

• Grain-free dog food— without wheat and other grains, with a higher meat content; often chosen for more sensitive dogs.
• Single-protein dog food— one source of meat in the recipe, which is why it is often chosen as hypoallergenic food for allergic dogs and for elimination diets. The most popular example is Monster Singles with lamb.
• Puppy food— more energy and protein for growth.
• Food based on breed size— smaller kibble for small breed dogs, while large breed recipes are tailored to joint and growth needs.
• Food for senior and sterilized dogs— fewer calories and additives for joints; helps prevent overweight when activity levels decrease.
• Food for sensitive stomachs— more easily digestible recipes with one type of meat or white fish.
