Pet owners in the Unite,d States own more than 57 million dogs. And as with other dog owners, your dog is an important part of your household. So take care of him with love, exercise and precisely balanced nutrition - all of which are essential to maintain his health for a long and happy life.

For dogs that get an average amount of exercise through daily playing and walks, choose a dog food that provides the optimum balance of nutrition and energy for an adult dog. Ingredients should help your dog maintain healthy teeth, skin and coat. Smaller breeds may prefer a food with smaller kibble. Learn more about Hill's® Science Diet® dog foods.

Dogs with low activity levels or who tend to gain weight easily need a dog food to help guard against obesity. If your dog is at risk for obesity, you should assess his activity level, body condition score and predisposition to fat. To control obesity, adult dogs need a food that is low in fat and calories and high in fiber to help them feel full without reducing their food intake. Reduced levels of sodium are important, as well.

Even if your pet does not show any signs of being overweight, it is important to have regular weight checks at the veterinarian's to make sure his or her ideal weight is maintained. Ask your veterinarian to record your dog's current weight, and take your dog back to the clinic for regular monitoring.

    Allteftersom valpen blir större, ökar behovet av självhävdelse. Valpar väljer ofta matplatsen som slagfält. Men det är ett misstag att låta dig styras av valpen. Du måste visa att du inte ger efter för alla krav.
  • Mata din valp

    Under de första dagarna ska du ge valpen samma foder som uppfödaren har använt. Detta hjälper valpen att vänja sig vid miljön. Om du vill byta foder ska du göra det gradvis. Börja med att blanda i lite av det nya fodret i det gamla fodret och öka gradvis andelen med nytt foder under en vecka till dess att övergången är klar.
