Dry balanced feed When buying a dogbalanced feed, it is not enough just to pour it into a bowl and give the pet. Before you feed it with dry food, the latter must be previously soaked in cold boiled water. You need to do this half an hour before feeding the dog. For a change, you can soak the food in kefir two or three times a week. If you feed your dog with a balanced diet, then you do not need to add vitamin supplements. Is that only bone meal or a complex of calcium and phosphorus. Dry balanced feed has many advantages. It is balanced by energy and nutrients according to the age of the dog (this is the case if the premium food). This food can be stored in a bag at room temperature for a very long time. You do not need to waste time cooking for a dog, and the smell of such food does not irritate the person. But, like any product, dry food has its drawbacks. So, because of the small volume of dry food, the dog's stomach can not stretch, because of this it will be difficult to transfer your pet to natural foods. In most dry food additives are added that stimulate appetite, in other words your dog eats it not because it is hungry, but because the food smells delicious. When you use dry food, and even in a soaked form, the pet's teeth do not get the right load from which dental plaque or tartar is formed (you need to give the dog bones and brush her teeth with a toothbrush). Dry premium food costs are not cheap, and buying a medium or economy class food, you will still spend a lot of money, but already for the treatment of your pet, because the cheap metabolism is broken because of cheap feed.
