Here's why:
* Individual needs: Each dog has unique dietary requirements based on age, activity level, health conditions, and other factors. A veterinarian can assess your dog's specific needs and recommend a tailored diet.
* Nutritional balance: A balanced diet ensures your Maltese terrier gets the right amount of proteins, fats, carbohydrates, vitamins, and minerals.
* Food sensitivities: Some dogs have allergies or intolerances to certain ingredients. A veterinarian can help identify any potential sensitivities and recommend suitable alternatives.
Here are some questions to ask your vet:
* What type of food is best for my Maltese terrier's age and activity level?
* What are the best brands and types of food available?
* What are the recommended daily feeding amounts?
* Are there any specific nutritional supplements my dog needs?
Remember, your veterinarian is the best source of information regarding your Maltese terrier's diet.
