It can be a jungle to navigate through the many different types of dog food in the market. There are many good brands, but choosing the right feed requires extensive knowledge and discernment. This also applies when you have to find food for the inactive dog. Here at PetLux.eu, we have a wide range of different types of food for dogs, so you have ample opportunity to find the type of dog food that best suits your dog and his needs. Dogs are different, even when it comes to dogs of the same breed, and therefore it is extremely important to find the right kind of food for the dog.

Find dog food from leading brands on the market

We know that as a dog owner you want to give your dog the best products, to give him the best quality of life. That is why at PetLux.eu we ensure that we vet the food brands in our collection. We have strict requirements for ingredients and the quality of the raw ingredients. That is why we only have food for dogs in our selection that we can fully vouch for, and you can therefore be sure that the brands you find on this page are of the highest quality. This also applies to dog food for inactive dogs. We carry brands such as Acana, Purbello, Orijen and MUSH BARF.

Regardless of which brand of dog food you choose for your dog, you should keep an eye on the dog's weight and adjust the food portions to suit your dog's specific needs. This is especially true if you have an inactive or lazy dog. If you choose food for inactive dogs, this does not mean that you cannot give the dog a treat once in a while. Here at PetLux.eu, we have a wide selection of low-fat treats.

Food for dogs that are not very active

Dog food intended for inactive dogs generally has a low amount of carbohydrates and is often rich in protein to strengthen muscle mass. Often, it also contains fewer ingredients rich in starch such as rice, potato or corn. There are many reasons to choose dog food that is designed for low-activity dogs, and you don't have to have a lazy dog to make use of low-carb dog food. Older dogs can also benefit from this type of food.

Older dogs have a limited need and opportunity for long walks in nature, slower metabolism and can have problems keeping their weight down. Therefore, dog food for inactive dogs can be a good way to keep your older dog healthy.

Food for inactive dogs also works well for dogs that suffer from or are prone to obesity. Obesity in dogs occurs, just like in humans, because more calories are consumed than are burned, and obesity can have dire consequences for your dog's quality of life. Being overweight doesn't just happen because you have a lazy dog. Excess weight can also come as a result of overfeeding or incorrect feeding, which is why it is important to choose the right food. You can read much more about obesity in dogs in our blog.

You must pay particular attention to this when choosing dog food

Whether you're looking at dog food for your older dog who no longer can burn as many calories, or for your inactive or lazy dog, there are a few things to keep in mind. You should not just reduce the amount of food that will deny the dog essential vitamins, minerals and proteins.

Food targeted at inactive dogs contains fewer calories and more fiber, and it gives your dog a feeling of satiety, even though the amount of calories is reduced. This does not happen if you just reduce the amount of food your dog eats - this can in the worst case result in malnourishment and a feeling of immense hunger. Healthy weight management requires the right type of food, with the right amount of protein, so that the dog loses fat and not muscle mass.

Weight management not only involves food but also appropriate physical exercise. Always adapt the exercise to the dog's ability! You know your dog best, and you should always observe your dog's abilities and adapt accordingly.
