All Life Stages Nutrition

Are you confused by the designer formulas available for all the
different stages of your dogs life? Do you ever wonder if nutrition has
to be so complicated.? Look at the labels of the different life stage
diets. What do you see? VERY slight differences in the guaranteed
minimums or protein and fat. 16 % fat or 18% fat is really not a
difference at all. The same holds true for protein. These slight
differences are meant to fortify the marketing change on the package.
If nutrition was this complicated we would all be lost when we shopped
for food for the rest of the family.

Dogs are like people, their nutrition needs to be balanced to the
calorie. This means that for every calorie your dog takes in he needs
so many grams of protein and fat and all the other essential nutrients.
IT DOES NOT MATTER how old your dog is, what matters is how
many calorie she requires to get through the day. A young growing
dog needs more, a pregnant or nursing mom needs more. The active
dog needs more, the older canine needs less, the inactive canine
needs less. What they all have in common is these calories, however
few or many they may need, they need to be balanced. The balance
of the equation never changes, the volume does.

Look at your family table. Your growing kids eat more of the same
food you eat and your aging parents eat less of the same food as
you do. The nutrition at your family table is the same for everyone,
the amount they eat is not.

At N-R-G we balance the diet to the needs of the canine and you
simply vary the amount of food to suit your individual dog and his life
style and stage.
