There are always a number of requirements for any food. And even more so for the diet of setters.
Basic list of requirements:
1. The food of the dog should have good energy value in order to compensate for the energy consumption of the body, ensuring the usual level of activity and the normal functioning of the body systems.
2. The chemical composition should be optimal in composition and concentration of nutrients and vitamins necessary to maintain the health of the dog.
3. Food must be easy to digest - this factor depends on the composition and method of cooking.
4. So that feeding does not cause disgust, food must have high organoleptic properties: be pleasant to taste and smell, have the right temperature and consistency.
5. Food should provide a feeling of satiety and satiety.
6. Food for a dog must always have sanitary and epidemic perfection and harmlessness.
7. Dry food sometimes needs to be varied by adding a little natural, freshly prepared ingredients to it.
Adult dogs should be fed a couple of times a day, avoiding malnutrition and overeating, and dividing the normal daily intake into portions that the dog will be satisfied with. You can experimentally find out the sufficient amount of food at a certain time of the day: for a couple of days, you must first offer the dog a third of the portion, and then two-thirds at the same time of day. Throughout life, a dog's appetite changes - and this fact must be taken into account when filling a dog's bowl with food. And an afternoon rest is also required, without unnecessary physical exertion.
