Nutrition Basics for Indian Dogs
Protein first: Real meat (chicken, fish, mutton) should be the primary ingredient in any food — kibble or homemade.
Two meals a day: Most adult dogs thrive on two measured meals. Free-feeding (leaving food out all day) is the leading cause of obesity in Indian dogs.
Homemade is valid but needs supplements: Homemade food lacks calcium, Vitamin D, and zinc. A vet-recommended supplement powder is non-negotiable.
Water always: Indian summers cause rapid dehydration. Fresh, cool water must be available at all times — especially for brachycephalic breeds.
