Science Diet Dog Food – LIFE WITH DOGS

The dog foods included in the Science Diet brand are made for all breed types, sizes and ages of dogs. There are food options for puppies aged one-year-old and younger, adult dogs aged between 1 to 7 years and for older dogs aged 7 and above. The recipes for each of the Science Diet formulas are different from each other because of how when puppies grow up; they need different types of vitamins and minerals.

When a dog is a puppy, a balanced diet is important to help promote healthy growth into adulthood. The main nutrients puppies need are proteins, fats, carbohydrates, and other basic vitamins and minerals. Look for these ingredients on the bag of dog food you’re looking at; it’s typically listed in the nutrition facts box on the back of the bag.

Like puppies, adult dogs also need a balanced diet, but there are a few things they need a little more of. To help keep up your dog’s energy level, find a dog food with lots of protein and carbs. Sometimes as dogs get older, they begin to be less motivated, which can ultimately deteriorate their health and shorten their lifespan. Fiber is crucial too, to aid in digestion. Science Diet has dog foods that are labeled for puppies or adults; there are several other options as well; pick the one most appropriate for your dog.

Another thing to take into consideration is quantity. If you think about it, newborn puppies don’t require nearly as much food as adult dogs do because puppies’ stomachs can’t hold as much. Puppies eat much more often than adults, but in smaller amounts. Puppies who are 2 to 3 months old should eat around four meals a day, 3- to 6-month-olds should eat around 3 and puppies who are 6 to 12 months should eat two meals a day. Four meals a day is a lot compared to adult dogs, who usually do okay on just one full meal.

To accommodate your dog’s feeding needs, Science Diet dog food comes in multiple size options. The Science Diet Adult Large Breed dog food comes in a 15- or 35-pound bag, as do the other adult dog food formulas they offer. The Science Diet Puppy food, on the other hand, comes in a bag as small as 4.5 lbs. and then also a 15.5 lb. bag or a 30 lb. bag.

Not only does the age of your dog determine the kind of dog food you need, but health conditions or problems can be a determining factor as well if your dog has any. Some of the aspects of dog health that Science Diet creates food formulas to help with are:

• Weight management
• Joint and mobility
• Healthy skin and coat
• Healthy digestion
• Dental and oral care
• Energy and mental wellbeing

One of the health concerns listed is weight management. If you’re having trouble keeping your dog in a healthy weight range, try the Perfect Weight formula dry dog food. It helps to promote safe and effective weight loss with visible results within 10 weeks.

Joint and mobility issues can be treated with the Healthy Mobility dry dog food, Oral Care formula for dental problems, Youth Vitality for energy and mental wellbeing and the Sensitive Stomach and Skin formula to help digestion and skin.
