Your dog’s actions, happiness, longevity, health and overall well-being are inextricably connected with what you feed him. Dogs, just like everyone else, have precise nutritional needs. And, to make matters even more complex, the needs of individual dogs vary. For example, even though your first dog may have done magnificently well on a certain brand of dog food, it may be completely wrong for the dog you have now. So in this regard dog information is very critical.
The easiest way to know if your dog is not be getting the nutrition he needs would be if he is showing signs of allergies. Believe it or not, most commercial dog foods are lacking in key nutrients. After some time of eating this food, your dog will start to show hypersensitivity to his environment by developing allergies.
An unrecognized deficiency disease is another term for allergies. Try to look up enough dog information about this. When you are able to identify nutritional deficiencies, you will be able to save yourself a lot of frustration and you can adjust your dog’s diet accordingly. Some good foods for your dog are Sojos food and pedigree dog food. 
There is enormous quality difference in the dog foods available in the market. There is innumerable number of choices for dog foods and it is a Herculean task to make an informed decision regarding dog information. You should not get carried away by the advertisement regarding the dog food but rely on the ingredients used in the manufacture of the food. Price should not be the main criteria for selecting the dog food. This cuts both ways. Higher cost food does not necessarily mean better quality and vice versa although price could indicate to some extent the quality.
Your dog is a carnivore and is not a vegetarian. He requires meat. His teeth are quite different from ours and they are made for shredding and tearing meat. They do not have flat surfaces in the mouth for grinding up grains. The dog’s digestion starts in his stomach and not in his mouth. All the enzymes in his body are geared to breaking down meat and raw foods. So there is no doubt that your dog is a carnivore.
Your dog’s body is made up of cells and each cell needs 45 nutrients to function properly. The cells require protein, consisting of nine to twelve essential amino acids, carbohydrates, fat, vitamins, minerals and water. All these nutrients require being in the proper proportion for the necessary chemical reactions of dig
estion, absorption, transportation and elimination to occur.
