The best quality dog food is natural, not contaminated with additives and preservatives and contains the necessary nutrients for your dog.
In addition, a number of the better dog foods on the market, are formulated to help dogs with specific medical problems. For example, you can find dog foods for dogs with allergies, overweight dogs, and dogs with celiac disease.
Natural whole grains, essential Omega 3 and/or Omega 6 fatty acids, probiotics and important antioxidant vitamins/minerals are often included, as well.
However, with Bichon Frises, it is best to go light on grains in their diet.
Bichons are very sensitive and often have skin allergies, caused by their food.
Brands such as Merrick dog food (grain free) or Taste of the Wild dog food are leading the way in providing natural, healthy dog foods for the canine diet.
Bichon Frises Often Have Food Allergies
If your Bichon Frise dog has food allergies, with itching and skin problems in Bichons, you might want to consider placing your dog on a lamb and rice diet or a dog food created just for Bichon Frise dogs.
Or, consider a dog food that contains oatmeal, known for its ability to calm itching. Many holistic dog foods also include meats that are free from antibiotics and preservatives. Chemicals can be a source of allergies or infections for dogs.
