How To Choose All Natural Pet Food for Pomeranians

Pomeranians are small, active toy dogs. All toy dogs need specially designed food in order to stay healthy. You can buy organic and all natural pet foods for your Pomeranian at most retail pet stores, or you can shop at boutique stores if you want to get a custom blend formulated for your little prince or princess.

      Make sure any all-natural food contains at least 30 percent protein. This will help your little dog stay active and fit. This is particularly important for Pomeranians, who tend toward laziness and can easily get overweight.

      Check the meat content. Meat is the easiest way to get high protein to your dog. As a general rule, all natural dog foods should contain at least 70 percent meat and no more than 30 percent vegetable products. Dogs' digestive systems are not designed to process vegetable products in bulk, and since poms are extremely small, their digestive systems are especially sensitive. Overloading them with vegetable content can lead to upset stomachs and other digestive problems that a larger dog might overcome simply due to hardiness and size.

      Check that the food is certified organic. Simply containing organic ingredients is not enough. Organic foods are an automatic way to make sure your dog food is all-natural. Organic foods help small dogs fight off illnesses because their nutrients do not tend to be as filtered as more processed foods are. A small dog like a Pomeranian needs every defense at the ready because they are operating at a genetic disadvantage because their immune systems are inherently weaker than those of larger dogs.
