Time for nutritional advice

At Big Dog we find giving good advice extremely important. With 12 years of experience in the pet food industry, we certainly know what we are talking about. To keep our knowledge up to date, we regularly attend training courses, workshops and lectures to keep up to date with the latest developments in (animal) nutrition. This way we always provide the best nutritional advice for your four-legged friend.

Grow with your pet

Our advice applies to both adult and younger animals. Because what few people realize is that a dog develops so much faster than a human:

  • Within 12-18 months the animal is fully grown (think, for example, of a one-day sheepdog that fits in the palm of your hand and 6 months later rises above your knee!)
  • A puppy is born without teeth, and between 3-6 weeks he gets his baby teeth. From the 4th month onwards, the baby teeth fall out and the puppy will have adult teeth within 2 months. In humans this happens around the age of 10-11 years and ends around the of !
  • A human begins to reach sexual maturity around 12-14 years of age. A dog within 7 months!
  • The life expectancy of a human is 80 years. From a (small) dog 12-14 years old

Knowing this, it is not surprising that we have to be alert to what is needed in terms of nutrition in which phase (puppy, adult, senior). Big Dog is happy to help you in every phase. We are ready to answer questions such as:

  • What is the difference between crispy chunks and pressed chunks?
  • What is the difference between the brands? What should you pay attention to?
  • How do you read an ingredients list?
  • What is KVV?
  • What is fresh meat?
  • How often should I feed my puppy?
  • My dog ​​is 7 years old, should I switch to senior food?
  • Should I give vegetables to my dog?
  • Which snacks are healthy for his teeth?

And many more questions that we are happy to answer! Please note that we are not a replacement for the veterinarian and/or other specialists. If we have any doubts, we will always advise you to contact your veterinarian. We enjoy working with them as a team to achieve the best results.

Specific nutritional advice

You have been worrying about your four-legged friend for a while now. Sometimes I suffer from complaints, sometimes not. You have scrolled through the internet for hours looking for a solution. You have tried many brands and different types of food, but in vain. Does this sound familiar to you too? Then come to us for advice.

Recognizable complaints

We regularly help our customers' four-legged friends with problems such as:

  • Digestive complaints (spitting, poor stools, constipation)
  • Allergies
  • Lots of itching
  • Bad coat
  • Overweight/underweight
  • Kidney problems
  • Joint problems
  • Optimization of the current power supply

At Big Dog we have 15 years of experience with the above complaints, among others, and we often resolve them quickly. Following the training “ Orthomolecular Nutritional Advice for Dogs (and Cats) ” makes our advice unique and complete.  We go beyond what our naked eye sees. In our advice, we even take into account the reaction of the cells in your pet's body. This is how we achieve optimal results.

Of course you are always welcome in the store and we are ready to answer your questions. But due to Corona and the small space of the store, it is useful if you want detailed nutritional advice to book a time slot on Jerusalem Street (around the corner from the store). Generally this takes about 20 minutes where we can tell you about nutrition in general and also answer specific questions you may have. This way you are assured of individual, tailor-made advice!
