The cost of dog food and its brand is only important if dogs can read or pay 

for his meal. The easiest and best way to find out which food is best for 

man’s best friend is to observe how their response is to the chow they take 

in.

The following are tips that one should remember in feeding dog any kibbles, 

nibbles or whatever kinds of treats.

• Chocolate is lethal to dogs.

Specifically, the dark chocolate kind. The major components methylxanthine

alkaloids and theobromine in regular chocolate is digested & excreted by 

humans in as little as 3 hours but the same compounds when ingested by 

dogs stays inside them for 18 hours. This has been proven to be fatal. 

Symptoms of chocolate dog poisoning include vomiting, excessive urination, 

hyperactivity, diarrhea, followed by seizure, coma, and death.

• Read the label.

Dogs should have a diet rich in meat protein. When purchasing canned 

foods, look for chicken, turkey meat, pork or other animal by products as 

these keep the dog's coat smooth and healthy. Dogs prefer foods which 

contain high vegetable protein levels because these are easily digestible and 

are a great source of energy.

• Don’t give a dog a bone!

Contrary to the popular nursery song, feeding bones to dogs is not a good 

idea. Small soft bones gnawed and eaten by dogs feel like splinters inside 

their throat causing them to choke. Remember, dogs have short digestive 

tracts. They also have no saliva amylase, an enzyme that is used to pre￾digest starch.

• Dog food supplements are unnecessary…

...only if one is sure that their dog receives a regular intake of complete and 

balanced food nutrients. Good sources of carbohydrates include rice, corn, 

oatmeal, wheat. However, a highly specialized nutrition is only necessary if 

dogs do not get enough physical activity or are currently undergoing a 

stressful routine change.

• Raw fish and eggs are a no-no.

Consistent consumption of raw eggs makes a dog’s skin breakout. In canine 

terms - since eggs diminish the biotin available in their body – dermatitis 

and hair loss are its usual effects. Raw fish meanwhile results in thiamine-deficiency in a dog. Its effects usually are loss of appetite, abnormal posture, weakness and in some cases death.

Feed your dog a healthy diet and he will return the favor with a beautiful 

coat and many years of companionship!
