In recent years, more and more people plant themselves as a pet French bulldog. These are medium-sized dogs suitable for living in apartments. Judging by the name of the breed, at first it may seem that they come from France. But the homeland of dogs is England, later they appeared in France and there gained great popularity among the French nobility, therefore they are called French bulldogs.
These cute and funny dogs often have health problems. To exclude them, it is worth a responsible approach to his diet.
Kinds
Very often the owners, who have no time to prepare food for their pets, choose dry food. In general, it may well save time and completely give your pet all the beneficial trace elements for full growth. However, not all foods are balanced and of high quality - some may even harm the animal body. You should understand perfectly that Not every product that has attractive advertisements is really good in its composition and quality.
With an economy class feed, your pet's ration is unlikely to be complete, since there is no meat, lack of vitamin-mineral complex, most of the giblets of animals instead of natural protein.
Premium category feed slightly better, but again there is no meat, there are also animal offal. The only advantage of this type is that it contains a vitamin complex.
A good choice will be super premium food: there is meat, no preservatives, which is very important, there is all the necessary vitamin and mineral complex for your pet's body.
However, if there is an opportunity, then of all the options offered in the stores, it is better to choose food for an animal in such a category holistic Here, there really is a lot of meat, there is an excellent vitamin-mineral complex.

Summing up, it should be said that premium food can conquer you with its cheapness, but, unfortunately, it will absolutely not be useful for your dog. Consequently, the higher the class food, the greater the likelihood that your dog will receive all the necessary products for healthy growth in full.
