Simple Guidelines For Feeding Dogs
In the wild, dog gorge themselves when any kind of food is available and then live off that nourishment for several days. This dog food sits in the stomach, where not much digestion takes place, and is passed into the intestines a little at a time. In domestic dogs, this behavior can lead to obesity. Some pet dogs, especially small breeds, are very fussy about what they eat.
