How to make the dog happy at mealtime

Dogs are creatures of habit, and the mealtime is a vital part of their day. A daily feeding routine tailored to their needs helps promote their well-being. But what can you do to ensure your dog is happy during mealtime? Of course, since every dog is different, there is no one-size-fits-all answer. However, there are some basic guidelines that are good to keep in mind.

1) The right food, amount, and timing are key
To keep your dog happy during mealtime, everything should be organized appropriately: meal times, portions, and the type of food. The happiness of your dog at the table depends on:

• Respecting the mealtime, a moment your pup eagerly awaits!
• The right portion of food for their size, age, and activity level (not too much, not too little).
• Choosing high-quality foods designed to support their well-being every day.

2) Know your dog's needs
Just like us humans, your loyal canine companion's nutrition should be not only top-quality and high-protein, but also tailored to their specific needs.
It’s no coincidence that the Oasy for dogs product line is so extensive and designed for daily nutrition based on age, size, and lifestyle.
What does this mean in practice? For instance, if your dog has limited physical activity or tends to be overweight, Lifestage Adult Light In Fat will better meet their needs. On the other hand, if your dog is very active and requires higher energy levels, Lifestage Adult Performance may be a better option.
And that's not all: if you prefer monoprotein dry food or grain-free food, you can choose One Animal Protein or Grain Free Formula. The former offers a single protein source, ideal for dogs with food sensitivities, skin issues, or digestive problems. The latter is a grain-free food with a single animal protein source.

3) Mixing dry and wet food? Always a good idea
Dry kibble is a complete meal loved by dogs, convenient to serve and store. It provides a rich and balanced meal.
Wet food, on the other hand, is high in moisture and its texture varies. It may come in forms such as paté or, for example, strips in gravy. Wet foods can be complete or complementary, and this is often the case for natural wet foods, which are highly appetizing and fragrant but should be combined with a complete food to offer a balanced diet.
Since they are different types of food, both kibble and wet food are good options for your dog's well-being at mealtime. In short, if both are part of the daily diet, your dog's nutrition will be more satisfying. If you opt for a mixed diet, it's always best to adjust portions to avoid overfeeding.

4) Snacks play a role in your dog's diet (and boost happiness)
Offering your dog a healthy treat or a chew to promote relaxation at any time of the day undoubtedly enhances their happiness! Whether it’s chew bones or tasty biscuits, snacks are definitely an important consideration if you want to make your dog happy, complementing a complete and satisfying diet.
