What should I feed my Pug on?

The majority of dog owners often prefer dry food for reasons of convenience and price. For example if you are buying canned wet food, 60-90% of what you are buying is actually moisture (water). Due to this you will quite often find that you need to feed them twice as much food as you would if the food was bought dry. Grain gluten and other protein gels may be used in wet dog food to create artificial meaty chunks, which look like real meat. 

Dry food contains 6-10% moisture by volume
Canned food contains 60-90% moisture.
Semi-moist foods have a moisture content of 25-35%.

Try to look at the back of packaging not just the pretty logo. Cheaper brands tend to contain cereals like corn, wheat, barley and ash, all the good stuff that your dog would never eat in nature and that passes right through its bowels with little to no nutrition. Also something to note is these ingredients are quite often the source of most allergies in dogs and cats and bowel irritations. If you happen to be the owner of a brachycephalic dog you will probably notice when eating these foods that contain considerably more corn and wheat that can become much more flatulent (fart or gas)

Having tried many of the dog foods on the market we have found the best suited to our Pugs is Fish4Dogs. Never heard of Fish4Dogs? that's because Pets at Home don't sell it. It contains 50%+ fish and no additives or preservatives. Is much gentler on the stomach than the usual meaty dog food and hand on heart since the Pugs have been on this food they are considerably less windy. They also seem to stay full for longer (which for a Pug is quite unheard of) I loved using Royal Canin until I tried this food and now I would never go back. 

A 6kg bag of Fish4Dogs small kibble lasts one of our pugs around 2 months. If you buy in bulk (over £100) from the Fish4Dogs website it works out at around £19 a bag, which I have to say is pretty impressive and cheaper than Royal Canin!  Visit the fish4Dogs website here.
