Feeding Guidelines
When it comes to feeding your dog, it is important to pay attention to not only the quality but the quantity of food being given.
Overweight dogs are at risk of developing health issues such as diabetes, respiratory problems, joint pain, arthritis and cruciate ligament issues. It can also impact behaviour hugely and make your pup cranky, frustrated or lethargic,
Puppies require far more than adults for their growing bodies so please reach out if you have a puppy so that our team can help.
