Beta Senior Dog Food: Your dog’s golden years should be accompanied by nutritious, flavoursome food. BETA senior dog food is designed for those over the age of 9 years, of any breed or size. It is formulated to provide additional joint support and keeps vital organs and natural defences strong and healthy.

Protein Amount: This diet is 26% protein; enough for overweight adult dogs as long as it can be digested well. The experts we spoke to don't advise DIY homemade dog food. This is because it can be extremely difficult to put together a balanced, homemade diet for your pet, so it's generally not recommended, unless it's supervised by a vet. Can I my dog have a vegetarian diet? Commercial options are a safer bet for nutrition. The PFMA says that commercially prepared raw dog food marked as ‘complete’ meets the guidelines to provide the nutritional balance a dog needs in their daily diet. BARF, short for “Biologically Appropriate Raw Food”, describes the composition of your own rations from components that are as unprocessed as possible. When following a BARF diet, dog food should be as natural as possible. This means: the use of raw meat (sometimes fish), offal, bones, blood, animal fats and, depending on the BARF variant, also plant-based components such as fruit and vegetables, herbs or vegetable oils. As a rule, complete feeds are supplemented by a vitamin and mineral mixture or individual additives to ensure a balanced nutrient supply.Any commercially manufactured dog food in the UK that meets UK Pet Food guidelines will contain complete nutritional requirements for pets, says the British Veterinary Association (BVA).

Digestion: BETA® recipes contain beet pulp to help regulate intestinal transit and improve stool quality The BVA told us: 'We don't recommend a raw food diet, at least without a vet's guidance. This is for two main reasons: the nutritional deficiencies that often come with feeding raw food (eg low taurine in cats or high vitamin A) and the risks associated with handling raw food – both for the pets and the household.'Carb-rich ingredients: includes all ingredients derived from grains, pseudo-grains, potatoes and other starchy root vegetables, sweet potato and legumes (except whole peas which are categorised under fruit and veg) except for isolated protein and extracted oils. Also includes fibre supplements. Some of the reasons owners prefer feeding relate to it being 'natural', coupled with perceived improvements in their dog's health. For this reason we've calculated the approximate 'as fed' percentages for the main ingredient categories in the finished product.

The most common food intolerances appear to be colourings, sugars, wheat, milk and soya. Obviously, not all pets are sensitive to these things, but if the effects keep reoccurring, it’s best to consult a vet. How much should I feed my dog?
