Dogs, like humans, thrive on a rotational diet — including their protein sources. For example, while chicken is a healthy, lean meat, eating it exclusively for your entire life would limit the vitamins you’re getting — such as the iron you could get from beef or vitamin B12 from salmon — and this is true for your dog as well! (Not to mention that you’d probably get bored of eating chicken every day!) That’s why it’s important to ensure you mix up your dog’s protein every once in a while.
In this blog, we’ll dive into the health benefits of different meat sources for dogs and how to tell if a pet food contains high-quality protein sources. Of course, it’s important to note that not all dogs handle every protein source well, whether due to allergies or specific nutritional needs. Be sure to connect with your veterinarian to make sure your dog’s needs are being met!
