For as long as we’ve had dogs, we’ve had dog food. Relations weren’t always sunshine and gumdrops between us and our best friends. Trot your way back in history 20,000 to 30,000 years ago, and you’ll find yourself in a tooth-and-claw battle for food, for raiment and for territory between our great-great-great-great-great-great grandparents and their great-great-great-great-great-great grandwolves.

Here’s exactly what to look for before you bend down to clean up after your pet, so you can help your furry best friend live their healthiest and happiest life.

The most important thing you can do is rule out more serious ailments, though if your dog seems to be behaving normally minus an instance or two of vomiting, here are a few ways you can treat the underlying issue or at least alleviate symptoms until his stomach issues pass.

Feeding your pet isn’t exactly rocket science, but it is veterinary science. There’s more to mealtime than plopping the food in the bowl and getting on with your day. While our fresh food recipes with a simple peel-and-pour, pre-portioned packaging, you owe it to your pets’ health to do some table-setting before they dig in.

As the name alludes, a raw food diet contains raw or uncooked ingredients. As opposed to a fresh diet, where ingredients are lightly cooked, or a dry-food kibble diet, where ingredients are processed and extruded into pellets. Raw diets are trendy and controversial. Advocates often claim them as being more natural and having clear health benefits. Critics argue raw diets risk contamination and can be nutritionally inadequate and unbalanced.

Water is an essential nutrient, as it’s required for normal body functions and survival. Exactly, how much water a dog needs depends on several factors, but clean fresh water should be readily available to your dog. Water makes up more than 50% of a dog's body weight. However, they still are limited in their ability to store water, and lose it via normal daily activities (panting, walking, relieving themselves) — thus it is critical that they regularly consume enough water each day.

A dog’s daily energy needs are individualized and change throughout their life, and are influenced by many elements. Beyond just calorie requirements, dogs have specific nutrient requirements, but lucky for pet owners most foods in the US are designed to meet those standards. However, available nutrition can vary greatly between food types. Giving your dog the best nutrition possible gives them the best health possible.
