Dobermann Food

Built for speed and strength, Dobermanns have a lean, muscular body that thrives on a protein-rich diet. Whilst this is a fairly hardy breed, Dobermanns are known to suffer from kidney disease and certain cancers as they age. In addition to this, Dobermans can also develop hip dysplasia, bloat, and arthritis - most of which stem from imbalanced diets and insufficient exercise. Doberman food is rich in protein, vitamins, minerals, dietary fibre, and fats that are essential in maintaining overall health and boosting immunity right from puppyhood. 

Protein

Protein is an important macronutrient required to build and repair tissues, enhance skin and coat health, maintain hormonal balance, and regenerate cells and enzymes. Dobermans need dog food with over 30% of protein content, whether it is plant-based or meat-based. In order to determine the right type of protein for your Doberman’s body, it is best to draw up a diet chart with your veterinarian or a certified canine nutritionist. Young Dobermans, i.e. those below the age of 1, require more protein than adults because their bodies are still growing. Here, the best food for them is one that offers tailored, breed-specific nutrition for optimum growth of both brain and body. Likewise, dogs that are over 9 years old need to switch onto a senior dog diet with more protein to replace lost muscle mass due to ageing. 

Carbohydrates

Carbohydrates are necessary sources of energy and optimum brain activity. However, the amount of carbohydrates your Dobbie requires depends on his/her age, activity level, and possible allergens. An active Dobermann, i.e. one who receives more than 4-5 hours of daily exercise, requires more energy than dogs who receive anywhere between 2-3 hours of daily exercise. It is often believed that carbohydrates are the source of obesity in this breed - whilst that is partially true, obesity from carbohydrates stems from overfeeding and underexercising. A Dobermann that lives a sedentary lifestyle does not burn calories while sitting down after a walk, they only burn calories when they’re active through play, walks, swimming, and other forms of exercise.  

Fat

Healthy fats are often in the form of oils - fish oil, cod liver oil, olive oil, coconut oil, sunflower oil, and more. Healthy fats help with cushioning organs, improving brain function, maintaining healthy skin and coat, decreasing allergies, and improving digestion. 

Vitamins & Minerals

Essential vitamins and minerals for your Dachshund are found in vegetables, fruits, and seeds. Calcium, phosphorus, potassium, sodium, magnesium, zinc, and iron are essential minerals, likewise, vitamins A, B, C, D, E, and K are essential vitamins - all of which are found in nutritious, balanced, and wholesome dog food.. Vitamins and minerals are necessary for proper hormone function, strengthening of joints, maintaining skin health, and boosting the immune system. 

In the end, all we wish for is more years to spend with our one-true companion, and believe it or not, all of that starts with the right food. Buy the best Dobermann food in India at Petsy!
