What is the difference between pet food for small and medium dog breeds and large dog breeds?
The first difference between these products is that the size of the chunks is adapted to the size of the animal’s muzzle. A chunk that is too small may be swallowed whole, which may cause digestive problems. On the other hand, your pet may choke on a chunk that is too large, or even refuse to eat the food. The growth of larger dog breeds must be controlled to prevent skeletal anomalies. This involves reducing the amount of fat in the food and ensuring the animals get enough minerals (calcium and phosphorus) in their diets. Food for large breeds is often enriched with glucosamine sulfate and chondroitin. These substances, naturally present in a dog’s body, help prevent joint damage and pain. Very small dog breeds have small stomachs, so they eat less and their food must have a higher energy and nutrient density to ensure they get all everything they need –including protein, carbs and fats- to meet all their requirements.
