feeding dogs

When it comes to feeding time, every owner wants their pet to enjoy his meal and leave a clean bowl. But what is it that makes him really want to tuck in ? and why are some dogs fussier than others ? what really makes a difference to the food in the bowl ?

1. Appetite and instinct

In humans, all our senses combine to give us an appetite. For dogs, it is different—with a number of olfactory cells between 80 to 220 million ( compared to 2 to 10 million in human ) their sense of smell is much higher, so their food must smell appealing. Creating the perfect food starts with the careful selection of top quality ingredients, grinding to create the right texture, cooking and cooling, before the addition of coating which provides the aroma that dogs enjoy. Our exclusive controlled atmosphere packaging ensures freshness from production to feeding bowl, guaranteeing that it will be palatable with optimum food safety.

1. Eating Behaviour

Dogs are creatures of habit—they like their food in the same place, at the same time, and meals are an important part of their routine, along with walks and playtime. Try to make their feeding space calm, because stress can affect the appetite, and also take into account your dog’s age, physiological state as well as lifestyle and breed when choosing his food.

Unlike humans, who like to vary their meals, it is better for dogs’ digestion to stay on the same diet. If you do change his diet, make a gradual transition from the old food to the new one over the course of 1 to 2 weeks. Very small dogs are prone to being fussy, perhaps because as owners we are tempted to spoil them. The solution is to cut down on the treats and choose a diet adapted to your dog’s needs.

Older dogs can lose their appetite, because their appetite, because their sense of smell and taste decline with age, so you can rehydrate their kibbles with some warm water, which will help your your elderly dog eat with appetite.

1. Food hygiene

Your dog needs separate bowls for food and water, which should be washed every day. Make sure he always has a full bowl of fresh water available. Keep his food in an airtight container, ideally still within its original packaging. This will ensure it stays fresh right up to the end of the bag. Keeping it airtight prevents oxidation-oxygen causes the fats in the food to turn rancid, which will not appeal to your dog !
