Expert breeders and veterinarians can tell a lot about a dog simply from physical appearance, because the inside health of a dog is reflected on the outside.


A healthy dog has a sleek, shiny coat, bright, clear eyes and good breath. These features also indicate that your dog is eating a diet based on high quality ingredients.

Dogs are carnivores and benefit from a diet based on animal proteins, such as chicken, lamb, fish and egg. These proteins can help develop more lean muscle mass, in addition to naturally supporting your dog’s urinary tract.
Having the correct omega-6 to omega-3 fatty acid ratio is also very important as this promotes a shiny, glossy coat in addition to maximising joint health.

CHOOSING THE RIGHT DOG FOOD
It’s important to feed your dog a diet that’s customised to his own requirements. Age, size and lifestyle all have a bearing on a dog’s nutritional needs.

Customised nutrition can provide your dog with:
  • A glossy skin & coat
  • Good digestion & nutrient absorption
  • Strong joints & lean muscles to maintain mobility
  • Strong immune system
  • Healthy teeth & gums.

EUKANUBA – PREMIUM DOG FOOD
Eukanuba formulas are tailored to the unique needs of your dog. They are prepared with high-quality ingredients your dog was meant to eat.
 
Eukanuba contains all the ingredients your dog needs and nothing he doesn’t, with 100% nutrition and 0% fillers. Because every ingredient serves a nutritional purpose, you can feed less Eukanuba than other dog foods that may contain vegetable proteins as the principal source of protein or cereal fillers that can act as bulk. This makes Eukanuba a cost-effective option as you’re not paying for excess ingredients that your dog doesn’t need.

ONE SIZE DOES NOT FIT ALL
Unlike humans, a dog’s natural size can vary enormously. A Great Dane is up to seven times taller than a Yorkshire Terrier, equivalent to a person four stories tall.
Given this huge variation, different-sized dogs need to be fed differently to meet their distinct nutritional needs. Eukanuba has specialised formulas to suit breeds of all sizes.

DIFFERENT-AGED DOGS
As your dog grows from an energetic growing puppy into an adult, and then into his more mature years, his dietary needs will change.
Eukanuba Puppy Formulas are tailored to maximise his growth with the addition of DHA. This formula has been shown to promote smarter, more trainable puppies.

Eukanuba Adult Formulas will keep him active through his adult years, and Senior Formulas will support him through the aging process with antioxidants and nutrients which promote healthy joints.

SENSITIVE DOGS
The most common conditions seen by vets involve the skin and coat, digestion, joints, obesity and dental decay.1
In these cases, feeding a special diet can make a difference to your dog’s wellbeing and quality of life. Eukanuba offers a Custom Care range of formulas to help dogs better deal with these common complaints.

PURE BREED DOGS
Some breeds have known pre-dispositions to common diseases such as gastrointestinal upsets, dermatitis or arthritis. A breed formula can help minimise these upsets by providing tailored nutrition. Eukanuba tailors four unique formulas to the unique needs of Labrador Retrievers, German Shepherds, Dachshunds and Yorkshire Terriers.
