Your Dog's Health

Proper nutrition provides the essential balance of proteins, fats, complex carbohydrates, nutrients and minerals your dog's body needs.

When your dog doesn't eat right, he can become lethargic, edgy, or hyperactive. Dogs on diets with high levels of cereal--wheat, corn, and corn meal--can become edgy or hyperactive.

TIP! You can test for food with high cereal content by soaking the food in water. If it swells and gets mushy (like your own cereal does in milk), it's mostly cereal.
