Are there nutritional requirements for dog food in Australia?

Currently, the pet food industry in Australia is self-regulated. AAFCO has provided minimum nutritional requirements. This means the Australian Standards for the manufacturing and marketing of pet food are voluntary.

What Does Pet City Recommend?

We recommend taking your pets age, breed and lifestyle into consideration when choosing a diet. There is no right or wrong answer to this question, however we recommend finding the best food that fits within your budget and works for you and your pet.

However, not all foods are created equal and it’s recommended that you discuss the different food options with your vet or chat to a Pet City staff member to help pick the right food for your dog. Pet City will always recommend feeding a premium complete and balanced diet.

PUPPY FOOD

Puppies

Feeding a balanced, high quality food is essential for a growing puppy. If you have recently adopted a puppy, it is always best to continue the previously fed diet during the initial transition and relocation to reduce the chance of an upset stomach and stress.

When feeding any premium diet the recommended amount to feed a puppy is dependent on the breed, activity level, age and metabolism. It’s important to monitor the puppy's weight and body condition and consult a vet if needed. As a puppy grows, so does the amount of food they need!

Pet City have a range of premium diets containing essential nutrients and vitamins for your growing puppy's needs - have a chat to our friendly Pet City staff who are trained to recommend the appropriate food for your new addition based on breed, age, and any health requirements.

How frequently should I feed my puppy?

In most cases, puppies will find their new home from around the age of 10 weeks. At this age, they require constant interaction, food and clean water. Puppies should be offered several small meals a day, approximately 4. Adult dogs should be fed twice a day, smaller meals often is better than one large meal a day.

Are Treats Good For Training Dogs?

The science of learning and dog behaviour has proven that positive reinforcement training is the way to go. So yes, stock up on treats when you adopt a puppy as you’ll be using lots of them. Treats should make up no more than 5% of their diet, however if you choose to feed meat-based treats, this offers more room and affordability to feed your dog a lot more.Any treat should always be given in moderation.

Feeding Bones

Feeding raw meaty bones are highly beneficial for dogs to keep their mouth clean by stripping away plaque. The meat will also contain an abundance of healthy nutrients for your dog. Just remember not to feed them too many, as a balanced healthy diet is vital to maintaining your dogs weight and nutrient balance.

Treats As A Reward

Using dog treats to supplement affection for your dogs can be a very healthy way to bond with your pet. Your dogs will definitely be happy with a small snack every once in a while. Just remember they are a ‘treat’ and should be given in moderation.
