Complete vs Complementary Foods for Dogs

In general, dogs require a balanced diet that has high protein content.

Complementary foods for dogs, like Empower Paw's Dogs Chicken Gravy Powder are treats that can be occasionally provided. If you feed your dog complementary foods, do take them into account as part of your dog's daily dietary requirements so that they don't gain weight. You can find out exactly how many calories your dog requires according to their weight, health conditions and breed by visiting a vet. 

Complementary foods are a great way to make your dogs' life interesting - they add variety, flavour and vitamins to their diet. Think about it... do we as hoomans want to eat the same thing every single day of our lives? Empower Paw's Dogs Chicken Gravy Powder when mixed with warm water, forms a delicious gravy with chicken taste and aroma. Add more water to make a soup. The gravy can be used to encourage dogs to eat up their complete foods, at the same time increasing their water intake and making sure that they have more variety in the foods that they eat.
