Dry food for the dog. Pure dried fodder should be tailored to specified target group of dogs according to age and activity. Unfortunately, there are some products that make false statements to the constituents of the action even when the dried fodder or to its use in puppies or adult dogs. Because for years, always some of the dried fodder products may be defective should to independently inform themselves well about this. The dog can completely cover its needs with the kibble. To do this, it is important that the feeding instructions of the manufacturer are understandable and described for the dog so that the dog receives its daily requirement of nutrients balanced.
Balanced diet with dry food for dogs
The food must provide a balanced diet, so that the dog gets all the necessary nutrients. Some nutrients are the recommended range (see below) not significantly under-or exceed. Then, deficiency symptoms and health problems threaten the dog. Most puppies need particularly much attention in the diet.
Dry food vs. wet food
- Nutrients can include both types of forage in sufficient quantity, provided that the manufacturer takes this into account.
- Dry food is usually cheaper than wet food.
- Dry food is easier to trade.
- Dry food is there in large portions to buy.
- The dog needs more water in dry food.
- To look on a higher protein content in dry food
Dog food laws
Although in Germany for dog food, these legal provisions are regulated in the food and feed law since 2005, the feed is awarded still like to sometimes not. The printed parts of the Chuck are wrong or the recommendations on feeding wrong and incomplete. Due to the food scandals, which often caused in the animal feed industry, a legal framework the legislator has created 2005 for food and animal feed. The misrepresentation and defects can be found still for some products.
What meat is suitable for the dry food?
Giblets, liver and heart are ideal. Muscle meat is also well within the protein ration.
Vegetarian dried fodder
Above all vitamins must be mixed with natural vegetarian food. A pure vegetarian diet of a dog is the dog owner definitely a challenge, because he regularly the values of dog on deficiency study should be.
Recommendation to the dried fodder
The dog food should contain matched organic and inorganic components according to weight, age and activity of the dog. Dry food can be alternated with wet food and raw food or even mixed with. You should be so careful that the proper nutrient mix is then almost impossible to determine. For raw feed, you must Pretreat the feed so that it is digestible for dogs.

Carbohydrates needed for the dog
They are used in the focus of fast energy supply of the animal organism. If the consumption of carbohydrates is greater than their consumption, the surplus is converted into fat and stored.
- Potatoes
- Rice
- Peas
- Corn
- Wheat
- Oats
- Carrots
- Flax seed

Fats and oils needed for the dog
These lipids are a good source of energy and an important energy store for the dog. Vegetable oils provide the necessary fatty acids for skin and coat. Fats provide the dog more than twice as much energy as proteins and carbohydrates. They are burned with the help of oxygen and converted into energy. Excess fat which is not consumed for energy use is stored in depots as body fat. Fats have a longer residence time in the gastro-intestinal tract and be absorbed in that time later than the proteins in an organism. Fats can be found in the fat that adheres to the meat, fish, vegetable oils and fish oils. Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids should be always in a balanced, since they affect each other. The dog through the meat you feed your dog raw, increasingly absorb Omega-6 fatty acids, therefore, it is important to provide him with Omega-3 fatty acids in addition. These fatty acids can be found first and foremost in salmon and cod oil or cod liver oil. The vegetable oils that are rich in omega-3 fatty acids include flax, rape, hemp and walnut oil. On it, in this, you should make sure that it's cold-pressed oils, otherwise oxidize heated producing valuable fatty acids and unusable.
Protein required for the dog
Proteins are converted to endogenous substances such as proteins and enzymes. To do this, the proteins is first cleaved into amino acids and then generates new proteins. The dog needs most of all animal proteins for at least 10 different amino acids.
- High-quality and easily digestible protein is contained in: muscle meat, offal, fish, cheese, cottage cheese, milk and eggs
- Less valuable protein is contained in: cartilage, skin, or bone
- The vegetable protein include: oatmeal, rice, whole wheat bread, soy flour
Water
Depending on the breed of the dog for the most part consists of water. It comes to a lack of water it can come to circulatory disorders and muscle spasms since the supply of muscle cells with oxygen and nutrients is limited. A sufficiently full water bowl should be getting ready.
Mineral substances necessary for the dog per kilogram
Minerals such as magnesium, calcium and phosphorus are needed by the dog in larger quantities (more than 50 mg / kg). Here, the ratio also plays a role among each other. But also trace elements such as iron, copper, zinc, iodine selenium play an important role in blood vessels, teeth and skin.
- Magnesium (mg 12 mg)
- Calcium - calcium (80 mg milligrams)
- Phosphorus (60 mg milligrams)
- Iron (1.4 mg milligrams)
- Zinc (1 mg milligrams)
- Copper (100-200 µg microgram)
- Iodine (15-25 µg microgram)
- Selenium (2.5-5 µg microgram)
Daily energy demand
- 20 kilos more dog active and slim: 900 kcal a day
- 20 kilos more dog bit active and overweight: 600 kcal a day
- 15 kilo grown-up dog active and slim: 750 kcal a day
- 15 kilo grown-up dog bit active and overweight: 500 kcal a day
- 10 kilo grown-up dog active and slim: 550 kcal a day
- 10 kilo grown-up dog bit active and overweight: 440 kcal a day
The details of the energy demand are a clue. The climate and diseases such as fever or tumors cause an increased energy demand. Most importantly, the activity in its environment plays an important role, working dogs burn significantly more energy than a normal family dog that lives largely in a heated room. The energy requirements during active working dogs can be up to 300 percent higher. In this case more must be fed if possible, or you need special foods with higher energy content.
hauptsächlich kommt es auf die Marke an, die du verwendest. Nicht alle Hersteller haben die richtigen Angaben auf den Futterpackungen. Wenn Du also das Nassfutter oder Trockenfutter vom selben Hersteller kaufst, dann macht das vermutlich keinen grossen Unterschied. Unser Hund hat vom selben Hersteller immer beides gleich gierig gefressen. Billiges Futter ist aber meist stark getreidehaltig und enthält natürlich kein hochwertiges Futter.
Wir haben das Futter immer wie mit einem Trick getestet. Unser Hund bekam das neue Futter für 2 Wochen zum Test und wir haben beobachtet wieviel Haufen er dann gemacht hat. Bei hochwertigem Fressen sind die Haufendeutlich kleiner, weil der Körper viel davon verwerten kann.
