FEEDING

Feeding the Miniature Schnauzer sounds very complicated, but a lot of it falls back on common sense. You want Miniature Schnauzer to have a diet high in nutrients that will help him to grow as healthily and disease-free as possible. Many of the dog foods are made of "fillers". When checking the ingredients of the dog food you are considering purchasing, make sure one or more of the first 5 ingredients listed are some kind of meat. By meat(proper meat) - not meat by products.

Many dog food companies will list one meat, then corn, then wheat, then soy. What you have in the first four ingredients consists of one quarter meat and three quarters grains (grains are corn, wheat and soy, and these are fillers). They may fill your dog up and make him think he's full but he's not getting the nutrition he needs. Your local vet can probably help you in choosing a food that is good for your Miniature Schnauzer.
