When buying dog food, the most important thing to consider is your dog’s health. Golden Retrievers are a larger breed and should choose dog food specifically formulated for large breeds. These dog foods often contain more protein and fat to meet the high energy needs of larger breeds. When choosing dog food, you should pay attention to the label to make sure the dog food you choose meets the nutritional standards of the American Pet Food Council (AAFCO).
This means that dog food should contain enough protein, fat, carbohydrates, minerals and vitamins to Meet your dog’s nutritional needs. In addition, care should be taken to avoid dog food that contains undesirable ingredients, such as low-quality feed with high starch content, artificial flavors, and preservatives. These ingredients may have negative effects on your dog’s health. You can try discussing your dog's nutritional needs with your veterinarian to determine the best brand and formula of dog food for your dog. At the same time, you can provide the mother with some information about the quality of dog food to help her make informed decisions.
