Golden Retriever

To properly raise a Golden Retriever, feeding must not be neglected. However, owners often find many choices when feeding a Golden Retriever, such as the distinction between dry food and wet food. Which one is more suitable for Golden Retrievers?

Dog food is mainly divided into dry food and canned food. Depending on age and growth, feed dogs food suitable for them. Puppies eat puppy food, adults eat adult food, senior dogs eat senior food, and overweight dogs eat special food—do not mix them.  

Dry food has relatively stable nutritional content. Golden Retrievers (detailed introduction) can clean tartar while chewing. But if there is a problem with urinary stones, dry food should be avoided unless it is a prescription for stones.  

High-priced canned food uses better ingredients; low-priced canned food mostly contains many unminced organs. The advantage is that vitamins are less likely to be lost, but the downside is more meat content causing stronger odor in feces and easier tartar formation.  

Dry food is less tasty than canned food but is easier to digest, and the feces are less smelly.

Golden Retrievers are naturally prone to sensitive skin. We recommend Royal Canin Golden Retriever Adult Food from Boqi Mall. The adult formula GR25 is tailored specifically for Golden Retrievers. Unique cushion-shaped kibble increases satiety and maintains ideal body shape; dual coat complex nutrition promotes healthy, shiny, and smooth fur; compound nutrient formula protects heart health.
