Nutrition is important not just for humans but for dogs too, to live a healthy and happy life. Most dog owners believe that that the nutritional requirements for dogs and human beings are similar. However, few dog owners know the correct proportion of nutrition their dog needs. In order to clear the misconception pertaining to the nutritional requirement in dogs, Pet MD experts help pet owners to know what to feed the dog, how much food to feed, and the differences in dog foods, which will help their canines to get optimum nutrition.

Do you know over kindness can literally kill your pet? That’s right, those daily treats you give your pet may give the illusion that all is well, but the reality is that the extra treats and the resulting extra weight are causing lasting damage to your pet’s internal organs, bones, and joints, some of which can never be remedied, even with a later change in diet and exercise.
