Many people know that experts recommend Golden Retrievers should mainly be fed dog food (as long as financially possible), so why is that? What are the benefits of eating dog food?

1. The benefits of eating dog food: Actually, dogs are like humans and require various nutrients, they cannot be picky eaters, and dogs’ stomachs are not very strong, especially urban pets. Homemade dog food is difficult to guarantee safety and nutrition: Some dog owners love their dogs so much that they feed them highly nutritious chocolate, which is actually a big taboo in dog feeding! Dog food is a healthy food formulated by experts according to dogs’ daily nutritional needs, allowing dogs to comprehensively supplement nutrition for healthy growth, saving time and effort. At the same time, good brand dog food contains added vitamins to fully supplement nutrition, resulting in healthy teeth without bad breath and an improvement in coat quality.

2. Which is more cost-effective, cooking for Golden Retrievers or feeding dog food? Generally speaking, cooking for your dog is definitely cheaper, but the benefits of eating dog food are reducing illness in Golden Retrievers and promoting better absorption and digestion of nutrients.

Because Golden Retrievers’ stomachs are relatively sensitive, their digestive systems are weaker than humans’ (because human saliva contains an enzyme that promotes digestion).

Such enzymes are generally not found in food, yet dogs’ digestive systems need these enzymes.

Relatively speaking, dogs that always eat homemade food have less digestible intestines and are prone to diarrhea, causing dogs to be thin and prone to illness. Therefore, although dog food is relatively more expensive, compared to the effects it brings, it is still very cost-effective.

3. Time cost: Actually, the biggest benefit of using dog food is saving time. If you don’t mind the trouble, following a strict dog recipe can produce a decent homemade dog meal.

But now, urban life pressures are very high, many people want their beloved Golden Retrievers to eat well but have no time to make homemade food, so at this point, dog food may be an unideal but the only choice.
