It has long been established that diet and health go hand-in-hand. In general, if an animal receives the right amount of everything it needs from its diet, it will thrive. On the other hand, if there is too much or too little of something in the diet, or if low-grade, unsuitable foods are regularly eaten, health problems inevitably begin to occur.

From minor upsets like skin irritations and digestive illness to full-blown acute sickness, most health problems can be traced back to diet. Even apparently harmless issues like excessive moulting, bad breath and hyperactivity are often early indicators of a dietary problem and may, in time, develop into something more serious. The good news is that almost all health problems can be helped, if not eliminated altogether, through simply changing your dog’s diet!
