However, the BVA warns that it can be difficult to do it well and, unless you work with a veterinary-trained nutritionist, there's a risk of harm to your pet’s health. Do dogs need different food as they get older? Here's what animal charity PDSA suggests you look for – and what to avoid – when choosing dog food. What to look for Any commercially manufactured dog food in the UK that meets UK Pet Food guidelines will contain complete nutritional requirements for pets, says the British Veterinary Association (BVA).

How much your dog should eat will depend on factors such as breed, type, age, health and lifestyle. For example, a working sheepdog needs more energy than a small dog with a less active lifestyle. Digestion aid - Prebiotic and Yucca Extract added for optimum digestive health and overall well-being. The PAW report also estimated that around half of the overweight and obese dogs had health issues which could be related to their weight. Pet obesity is the top welfare concern for vets, according to the 2021 PAW report . Another 2021 study from the Royal Veterinary College (RVC) found that one in 14 dogs were recorded by their vets as overweight . The study also found that some breeds were more prone to gaining weight.

Dry foods are usually the most economical, and easiest for you to feed and store. Owners who feed wet food should monitor their pet's teeth, as it can predispose them to dental disease.

However, the BVA adds that 'each pet has its own needs, so diet should be adapted to your pet's lifestyle, age, breed and any health conditions. We advise people to speak with their vet when they get a new pet'. On a day-to-day basis, ensure you're feeding your pooch the correct amount by measuring out each meal on weighing scales. A few extra bits of kibble might not seem like a lot, but it can massively contribute to weight gain. There's some debate regarding whether one is better than the other. The BVA says: 'There is not enough evidence to recommend one over the other; there are advantages to both. A vet will be able to recommend the most suitable diet.'
