Nutrition
A Curly Coated Retriever's nutrition should be high-quality, formulated for active medium to large-sized dogs. A good quality, balanced dry kibble, rich in protein, is essential to maintain their musculature and energy. The daily amount will depend on their age, activity level, and metabolic state, but it is generally recommended to divide it into two meals. During breeding season or periods of high physical activity, they may require an increase in calories. Glucosamine and chondroitin supplements can be beneficial for protecting their joints. It is important to monitor their weight to prevent joint and heart problems. Avoid overfeeding and excessive treats, and ensure they always have access to fresh, clean water.
