Golden Retriever Diet
Consider following tips when choosing food for your golden retriever.
1. Choose a protein-rich diet
Since Golden Retrievers are medium to large in size, they require a diet that is high in protein to support their muscle mass and energy needs. Look for dry food that is made with high-quality, easily digestible protein sources like real meat or fish.
2. Avoid fillers & additives
Most commercial dog food contains fillers like corn, wheat and soy which can be difficult for them to digest and may cause allergies. Choose dog food that is made with whole, natural ingredients and free from unnecessary additives.
