Winter Weather, part 5 of 5 – Winter Nutrition and Diet

Winter feeding is a classic example of the need to treat each dog differently. Some dogs need to be fed less and some dogs need an increase in food. In our house we usually have to decrease the amount of food we feed due to less exercise. We don’t cut back a huge amount but we do cut down a little.

Another thing to think about is how dry the winter air is and how this affects your dog’s skin and coat. A fatty acid supplement to their diet is very helpful in cutting down on them dry weather itches.

Keep in mind that due to the dryness of the winter air that you may need to provide more water for your dog. It’s just that time of year.


Stay tuned for: Spring!
