The markers of the canine nutrition system represent a very important aspect in choosing a proper diet for the animal. They are distinguished by the use of age, waist, and physiological condition as determinants in the diet of a dog. It is also necessary to know the nutritional value and the components of each type of food to achieve the biological needs of each organism, depending on the individual representative medical needs. For a healthy body, depending on the needs, a balanced diet should consist of a source of protein with a high nutritional value and a small amount of carbohydrates that will lead to proper nutrition, without the presence of food allergies. Increased attention is paid to the nutrition of dogs, and seniors, over the age of 9, where the appearance of various diseases is observed with advancing age (heart disease, lung disease, liver, and kidney dysfunction) trying to avoid large amounts of fats and the use of foods low in sodium, potassium, and phosphorus that can attack the already weakened liver and kidneys.
