According to experts and vets, the best nutrition for a dog will vary by age, breed, size, and health. So here we are going to discuss some of the best nutrition for a dog and nutrition to avoid for your dog’s good health and well-being.
Best dog Nutrition
The best nutrients that should be included in your dog’s diet are fats, protein, water, minerals, carbohydrates, and vitamins.
These nutrients are all essential and must be included in your dog’s everyday diet.
Unlike cats, dogs are not strict carnivores. Other than meat, they can also gain nutrients from vegetables, grains, and fruits.
These non-meat foods can also add nutrients to their diet by providing essential minerals and fibers.
Kibble, Canned or Wet?
Many people hesitate to feed dry kibble or canned wet food to their dogs. Still, these foods are highly recommended as they are tested and made under the supervision of veterinary specialists. You can also mix their canned food with raw meat, vegetables, fish, and rice.
Dogs & Allergies
Dogs with allergy issues should be given a low grain diet as grains are carbohydrates, and a small number of carbohydrates can improve the dog’s health.
Frozen Meals & Low-Calorie Diets
Frozen meals are comparatively healthier than kibble as they are closer to whole-food nutrition. Meals cooked at home can also be beneficial for a dog’s health. 
Before feeding them a home-cooked meal, you should make sure that you provide a balanced meal to your dog.
Always select a low-calorie diet because dogs mostly have low energy requirements.
Try to choose raw, large, meaty bones for your adult dog.
Other nutritious foods that dogs can eat include carrots, peanut butter, eggs, salmon, blueberries, popcorn, pineapple, watermelon, bread, blackberries, corn, green peas, oatmeal, apples, broccoli, and coconut.
Nutrition To Avoid
Choosing the right nutritional food for your dog is especially important for their health and happiness.
Feeding your dog the same food you eat can be extremely dangerous for your dog’s health and well-being.
Here are some nutritional’s or food items you should avoid feeding to your dog.
• Chocolates are highly toxic for dogs and should not be fed.
• Sweet and fatty foods are not recommended as they can cause illness.
• Citrus fruits like lemon, grapes, and oranges should be avoided as they can cause diarrhea and unfortunately have led to death in dogs.
• Eating onions and garlic can result in oxidation damage to the RBCs of the dogs. • Undercooked meat may contain bacteria, so try to avoid it.
• Macadamia nuts can cause muscular weakness and tremors in dogs.
• Uncooked or raw yeast dough can be life-threatening to your dog and can cause gas in the digestive system.
• Even an exceedingly small amount of alcohol in drinks or syrups can be poisonous to dogs.
• Some dairy products can upset your dog’s digestive system.
• Avoid feeding milk if your dog is lactose intolerant.
• Avocados can also cause food poisoning in dogs.
Always try to consult your veterinarian first because dogs are individuals, and their diet varies according to breed, age, and size.
