Healthy Dog Diets It is the responsibility of the dog owner to provide healthy food for his/her dog. After all, your pet is part of your family. A nutrition-deficient diet will lead to serious health problems for your dog, including diarrhea, vomiting and behavioral problems. It is therefore essential to look after your dogs diet, and feed it the necessary foods for its optimal health. 1. Giving your dog a variety. Feed it with lean meat, cheese, vegetables, dried fruits, dog biscuits and raw knuckle bones. 2. Include garlic in your dogs food. Garlic fights harmful bacteria and strengthens its immune system. Add finely minced fresh garlic to its food. Most dogs like the flavor of garlic, so you might want to make garlic biscuits for your dog as well. Google for the recipes. 3. Adding fiber. Add a small amount of wheat bran to your dogs diet as it cleans up the intestinal tract and thus prevent constipation. 4. Adding raw meat from time to time. Dogs should eat raw meat as well because it is the natural diet of their ancestors. Start with small amounts to avoid stomach upsets, and give time for the body to adjust. 5. Feed your dog with raw eggs. They are rich in proteins and minerals. You can add the egg yolk to your dogs food every day if desired. However, do not feed your dog with raw egg whites more than once a week because it can interfere with the protein levels in the body, causing a protein imbalance. 6. Giving it plenty of water. Make sure you provide plenty of water for your dog to prevent dehydration. Make sure that the water is available throughout the day, not just at mealtimes.
