Nutrition
Keeshond nutrition must be carefully managed to maintain their health and beautiful coat. A high-quality diet is recommended, whether commercial kibble or raw food, formulated for medium-sized breeds with moderate activity levels. It is important to adjust portions according to the dog's age, exercise level, and individual metabolism to avoid overweight, which can exacerbate joint problems. Look for foods rich in quality proteins, healthy fats (such as Omega-3 and Omega-6 for skin and coat), and complex carbohydrates. Avoid unnecessary fillers and common allergens if your Keeshond shows sensitivity. Dividing the daily ration into two meals can help prevent bloating. Always ensure they have access to fresh, clean water. Treats should be used in moderation and preferably as part of training. Always consult your veterinarian to establish the most appropriate nutritional plan for your Keeshond.
