DOGS
I know I am not alone when I ponder what my dog is eating. To learn more about nutrition for dogs, I went online to find answers. Low and behold, I found the dog version of USDA’s MyPlate, called My Bowl for Dogs. The bowl, developed by PetMD in partnership with Hill’s Pet Nutrition, shows dog owners how to properly balance their pet's diet for optimum health. In the carbohydrates section of the bowl, pet owners are reminded that "whole grains are the best source of insoluble fiber and keep blood sugar levels steady longer. Look for the words ‘whole grain’ in the ingredient list.” While some grains are refined and used as filler, whole grains are what you should be feeding your dog.
