Our feeding
Properly feeding your dog is a matter of the heart. Only those who feed their dog correctly lay the foundation for a long, healthy, and active life. But how do you manage proper feeding in everyday life? What feeding times are best for dogs? And what does a balanced diet for dogs actually look like? Proper nutrition influences your dog's well-being, energy levels, weight, and even life expectancy. A balanced diet supports the immune system, ensures good digestion, and protects against illness. Therefore, anyone who wants to feed their dog correctly should really delve into the topic of canine nutrition. Regular feeding times are important for digestion and behavior. Dogs love routine; it provides security and structure. Most dogs benefit from being fed twice a day at the same time. For example, morning and evening are ideal. Regular feeding times prevent cravings, begging, and stomach problems. It's especially important to adhere to this routine for sensitive dogs. Properly feeding your dog requires knowledge, attention, and high-quality dog food. With the right food recommendation for your dog, regular feeding times, a well-thought-out dog diet and attention to detail, it's easy to manage in everyday life.
Focus on a balanced diet for your dog, give your four-legged friend the right dog food and he will thank you with joie de vivre, energy and health.
We Feed Vet Concept!
Vet Concept's philosophy (ethics (right action), knowledge (knowledge), and logic) is based on the fact that for over 25 years they have been developing and producing only high-quality dog and cat food. They consider each animal individually. In close collaboration with veterinarians, they have developed and continuously expanded a wide product range that can offer an ideal solution for every four-legged friend. Vet Concept's approach is based on dry and wet food, a diverse selection of treats and chews, and natural supplements. Both healthy and sick dogs and cats can benefit from the right food for them. Years of experience have shown that a personal consultation with their veterinary-trained advisors yields the greatest success in finding the right food. An open ear and targeted questions about your pet, its lifestyle, age, breed, preferences, or any health conditions provide the perfect foundation for creating the most suitable feeding plan for your pet. In this guide, they would like to share some of their 25 years of knowledge in the field of animal nutrition with you. Always with the caveat that a website can never replace the professional assessment and treatment of a veterinarian. When a furry companion moves in these days, there are many things to consider. A wide range of topics need to be addressed, from new household rules and walks, to choosing food, a name, dog training school, or a scratching post, all the way to insurance and taxes. There's usually something for everyone to discuss. Many topics of conversation often provide ample opportunity for diverse opinions, and heated debates about well-founded, or perhaps less well-founded, beliefs among animal lovers are not uncommon. Not least because of the evolving role our four-legged companions now play in our lives, strong emotions are not always absent from such discussions. The advice of an independent and objective expert is therefore invaluable when important decisions need to be made. Keeping pets outside heated living spaces, feeding them seasoned cooking and food scraps, or using them as working animals, for example as an alarm system against burglars or mousers in the barn, are no longer common practice. Dogs and cats are now considered full-fledged family members, participating in daily life at home, being included in outings, and being cared for. Public interest in pets and their needs is steadily growing.
This has advantages for both sides. The four-legged friends are not only an emotional and mental enrichment for humans, but sensible research into the species-typical behaviors of the animals and their appropriate integration into human family life usually also benefits dogs and cats.
Excessive anthropomorphization of the four-legged friend, who longingly eyes their humans' overflowing dinner table, can also have negative consequences. Although they can live very well with humans and adapt to them, there are differences between pets and their lifelong two-legged companions. Feeding a good quality dry dog food like Vet-Concept is important because it offers high-quality, balanced nutrition, often with special formulas for health issues (gastrointestinal, allergies, weight), based on natural ingredients, without genetic engineering or chemical additives, and supporting nutrient absorption as well as the dog's overall well-being and vitality, contributing to a long and active life. Benefits of high-quality food (example: Vet Concept):
Good tolerability: Often special formulas with easily digestible proteins and fibers that relieve the intestines.
Natural ingredients: No artificial additives, sugar, or genetically modified ingredients.
Specific needs: Dietary food for sensitive dogs, senior dogs, overweight dogs or dogs with digestive problems (e.g., low fat content, special fibers).
Quality of raw materials: Meat and fish are selected according to food criteria, which means a higher nutritional quality.
Health-promoting: Supports the intestinal flora, joints and the immune system for greater vitality.
Complete feed: Covers the complete nutritional needs of a dog.
Why is this important?
Prevention: Many health problems (allergies, digestion) often result from a disturbed intestinal flora caused by poor-quality food; high-quality food can have a restorative effect here.
Improved nutrient absorption: High digestibility ensures that the body can absorb all important nutrients more effectively.
Longer lifespan: A species-appropriate and healthy diet contributes significantly to a long, active and vital life for dogs.
What is the difference between this and cheap food?
Cheaper pet food brands can often contain inferior raw materials, many fillers and artificial additives that may fill the dog up, but do not provide optimal nutrition and can lead to long-term problems.
In summary, a good quality food like Vet Concept is an investment in your dog's health and well-being, especially if they have specific needs. Special diets often require an activation code from your veterinarian, highlighting the professional advice involved.
