WHAT DOES MY FIRST DOG NEED?

Your first dog has just arrived home and you can barely contain your excitement... There's a new member of your family! Is everything ready to welcome him properly?

A comfortable dog bed
Food and water bowls
Collar or harness and lead
Dog toys
Affection and the desire to have fun
A diet ideal for keeping him healthy, such as a Natural Trainer product with naturally sourced ingredients

It is normal for your first dog to be a little disoriented in the first few days, as well as a little shy or insecure. Treat him affectionately, show him the house and let him smell here and there to help him settle in. You'll see in a couple of days that he'll be happy and relaxed.

HOW DO I CHOOSE THE BEST FOOD FOR MY FIRST DOG?

A good diet is the first step towards a healthy and energetic life. When you ask yourself “what is the best food for my first dog?”, you will most probably think of a diet with natural ingredients that cover all his needs and allow him to be fast, strong, lively and playful.

For your first dog, it is important to choose nutrition according to his specific needs, especially size and age, as needs vary. For example, the energy requirements of a small mature dog are not the same as those of a medium or large puppy.

A dog needs protein to maintain good muscle mass, which will also give him vitality and strength. Proteins from top-quality animal sources usually appear at the top of the list of ingredients.

Fats and carbohydrates ensure that your first dog is always full of energy.

It's also very important that it tastes good. That way, your dog won't be able to resist and your bond will be strengthened in a natural and positive way.

No added colourants, preservatives or sugar.

An adequate amount of minerals such as calcium/phosphorus and vitamin D, to develop and maintain strong and healthy bones, with natural ingredients that provide specific benefits based on their characteristics.
