Mans Best Friend

Dogs are wonderful companions. They greet us with wagging tails after a long day, snuggle close when we’re feeling down, and fill our homes with love, laughter, and often a bit of mischief. Their loyalty is unwavering, their joy infectious, and their affection unconditional. This is why, for millions of households around the world, dogs are more than pets—they're family. We feed them, care for them, walk them, and even talk to them as if they fully understand us (and sometimes, we’re convinced they do). This deep bond we share is built on trust, routine, and mutual affection.

For centuries, the dietary needs of dogs were a secondary consideration. Our loyal companions, domesticated from wolves, lived on scraps from human meals, whatever was available and convenient at the time. In rural communities, a dog’s diet might have included leftovers, bones, and whatever they could scavenge. There was little thought given to balancing nutrients, matching caloric needs to activity levels, or preventing diet-related diseases. The invention of commercial dog food in the mid-19th century marked a pivotal shift.
