It is very easy to get a pet dog, but it is not easy to nurture it. You have to manage many things, like where they will sleep, their walking schedule etc. When it comes to feeding your dog, it’s essential to understand that each dog is unique, and what works for one dog may not be suitable for another. Consulting with your veterinarian about your dog’s dietary needs is crucial. While most domesticated dogs are carnivores, they may occasionally consume omnivorous foods. Researchers emphasize the importance of ensuring your dog’s diet is complete, balanced, and appropriate for its life stage and any medical conditions it may have.

This presents a complex dilemma, which was encountered by our OP u/[deleted] when he and his fiancee decided to finally get a dog. However, a disagreement arose regarding the dog’s diet.

Dogs have evolved over thousands of years on a specific diet, and altering that could be detrimental to their health. It’s essential to adhere to the dietary recommendations provided by veterinarians. What are your thoughts on this..let us know in the comments section below.
