Find Your New Best Friend
From cats and dogs to small mammals and birds, Berkshire Humane Society is the place in Berkshire County to adopt your next companion animal.
The recipe for healthy dogs begins with food
Nutrition is a cornerstone of good health. The right foods provide vitamins and minerals that affect everything from energy levels to susceptibility to disease to body weight. Companion animals also derive similar benefits from nutritious foods, but pet parents may not recognize all of their options. Store shelves are lined with countless dog foods, and some pack a more nutritious punch than others.
Right amount of food. Determining the right amount of food is key. Manufacturer serving sizes may be larger than necessary, contributing to overweight pets—59% of dogs are overweight or obese. Adjust portions to find the right balance, and consult your vet or research healthy weights for your dog’s breed, age, and gender.
Food standards. Choose a highquality, balanced dog food with protein as the first ingredient and minimal fillers. Look for AAFCO-approved formulas to ensure complete nutrition for your dog’s life stage.
Consistent meals. Consistency in feeding times is beneficial to dogs, who tend to prefer routine in their lives to alleviate stress. Scheduled mealtimes may help with digestive health by regulating bowel movements. Plus, rather than "free feeding," which means leaving a food bowl out all day, scheduled meals can prevent overeating and a healthier routine.
Offer treats sparingly. Occasional human-food treats can fit into a dog’s diet, but keep them under 10–15% of daily calories and adjust meals accordingly. Always check with your vet before introducing new foods. Safe options include: apples, bananas, blueberries, cranberries, eggs, lettuce and other greens, peanut butter, plain popcorn and pumpkin.
A healthy diet combines portion control, high-quality food, consistent feedings, and infrequent, nutritious treats. Working with a vet helps ensure your dog’s individual needs and weight are maintained for a long, healthy life.
