Dog of the Day: Meet Shammy and Blue
Daily Dig reader Pamela sent some very festive photos of her pups, Shammy and Blue. They are great at posing for photos and sit nicely as soon as Pamela requests. Sometimes, they even let the family cat in on the fun. They love the extra attention, and we here at Daily Dig love seeing photos of them. Thanks, Pamela, for sharing these adorable pups with us.

A Guide to Understanding Your Pet's Nutritional Needs
It is essential for pet owners need to understand their pets' nutritional needs in order to keep them healthy and happy. Having a balanced diet will help with longevity. There should be a good mix of carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, vitamins, minerals, and water. The pet's body produces some nutrients, but others must come from their diet. 

Overview of Essential Nutrients for Pets
  • Water - This is essential for hydration, digestion, regulating body temperature, and organ function. 
  • Carbohydrates - This is the source of energy. It's the fuel needed for physical activity and supporting brain function.
  • Lipids - These fats help pets absorb vitamins, maintain healthy skin and coat, and produce hormones. 
  • Proteins - High-quality animal proteins help build and repair tissues, keep the immune system working, and produce hormones and enzymes. 
  • Vitamins and minerals - Common vitamins like A, D, and E should be included in a pet's diet. Minerals like calcium, phosphorus, and potassium are essential for body functions and healthy bones. 
When shopping for pet food, it's good to look for whole-food ingredients that you recognize. Look for a guaranteed analysis to ensure the food meets the nutritional requirements. These will show the minimum percentages of protein and fat and the maximum percentages of fiber and moisture. Different combinations of ingredients are made for different stages of a dog's life, so age and breed play into the needs.

One of the best resources to help find the best food is the veterinarian. You can get individualized dietary recommendations and guidance on selecting the best food. They will also be able to help if your pet has any specific health conditions.
