If your dog is 6 months old or 6 years old, it will have different nutritional needs. If he is a Labrador or dachshund he will also need a different food. Also, we have to take into account if he has allergy problems or if he needs to lose weight to be more agile and healthy.
Taking this into account, we must ask ourselves if we are feeding our canine friend properly and if it is time to change the feed that we are buying to nourish it in a healthy way.
From The Buyer we have selected six dry feeds from premium brands specific for each type of dog. You will find them at Tiendanimal, a specific pet products store, or at Amazon.
