If you have noticed digestive problems in your dog, a coat that is no longer as shiny as it used to be or a more bushy behavior than usual, then he is probably not getting all the nutrients he needs, but you could remedy this with some measures that are perfect for both a home diet or a diet based on croquettes.

Due to its physical configuration, the dog needs essential nutrients that it took in nature by eating the meat of its prey, sometimes of the entire animal, but since today this is not possible, an optimal diet must meet these needs as Cinzia Signoretti, dog educator and technical expert in veterinary dietetics and nutrition, argues, and take into account what she calls "Ancestral advantage" which is based on the natural conformation of the dog, on its anatomical characteristics that since its origins have allowed the ancestors of dogs, wolves, to evolve and feed on certain foods rather than others.

The ancestral advantage must be restored to provide the animal with an optimal diet which in the case of nutritional deficiency manifests itself through 3 alarm bells:

hair loss or dull, bristly coat it indicates a lack of essential amino acids, of proteins that are taken from meat. By constitution, dogs are inclined to eat a lot of meat, in fact they have sharp teeth designed precisely to tear the pieces of meat.
irritated and itchy skin instead it indicates a lack of essential minerals which are not assimilated by the diet and which also lead to problems with the teeth and gums.
digestive problems which represent a shortage of good bacteria present in raw meat that help the dog break down food, ingest essential nutrients and protect itself from harmful pathogens.

According to the expert, it is not important how many supplements the animal receives or the quality of the food purchased since nowadays There are no dog foods on the market that can nourish optimally our four-legged friend and the proof is right on the back of the crunchy pack. If we take a look at the ingredients, we note that the percentages of meat are very low and are preceded by cereals, in the best of cases rice and quinoa.

Adding pieces of raw meat or organs of other animals, which wolves feed on in nature, to the dog's diet is not a good choice as well as feasible in economic terms in the long run, for this reason the dog expert recommends enrich the dog's meals with vegetables such as carrots and squash or other products of animal origin such as cooked eggs which are also perfect nutrients and within everyone's reach.
