Here's why:
* Individual Needs: Every dog is different, and factors like age, weight, activity level, allergies, and medical conditions all play a role in determining the best food type.
* Nutritional Requirements: A veterinarian can ensure your dog's diet meets its specific nutritional needs, which can change over time.
* Food Sensitivities: Some dogs may have allergies or sensitivities to certain ingredients found in wet or dry food.
* Safety: Improper feeding can lead to health problems.
Here are some questions you can ask your vet:
* What type of food is best for my cocker spaniel's age and activity level?
* Does my dog have any food sensitivities?
* Are there any specific dietary needs I should be aware of?
* What are the pros and cons of wet vs. dry food?
Your veterinarian will be able to provide personalized recommendations based on your dog's individual needs.
