Dog-owners love to feed their pet pooches but many of us do not have the right information about a dog’s diet. Here are the 5 important things you must include in your dog’s food to make it a proper meal:
1. Eggs (high source of digestible protein and vitamins)
2. Chicken/lamb, fish ( contains essential amino acids and are a good source of omega 3 fatty acids)
3. Rice (source of carbohydrates)
4. Calcium
5. Oil (Source Omega 6 fatty acids)
The anatomy of dogs helps them absorb nutrients from proteins and fats, keeping this in mind, dog food should be rich in protein sourced from chicken, lamb, fish, eggs. At the same time, it is important that there is some cereal in their diet as well. However, rice is a good source of carbohydrates for dogs as it is contains very trace amounts of gluten.

from natural sources. Their ingredients are freshly sourced from local farms and a bowl of Kennel Kitchen Home style Cooked dog food contains freshly sourced meat and fish, vegetables and rice. There are no added preservatives or additives.
Here are some chemicals to avoid in your dog’s meal. Always check the packaging label for these:
Dog food should be free from preservatives and anti-oxidants. Also, make sure that you give a corn free diet to your dog as corn is harmful for them and should be avoided. Corn in a dog’s diet can cause many dog conditions such as allergies, joint swelling, bloat and there have been cases where the corn used in dog food is contaminated with aflatoxin (toxins from mold or fungi). A dog’s body cannot digest corn easily. It is full of starch energy with little or no nutrition value.
