PET FOOD ARTICLES

OUR BLOG

The Complete Pet Nutrition blog is home to practical pet food articles and everyday guidance for life with cats and dogs. This is where we share real tips that help you understand what goes into the bowl, what your pet needs at each life stage, and how small feeding habits make a big difference.

Articles for healthier, happier pets

Our collection of pet food articles covers everything from reading labels to portion control, weight management, switching diets and choosing between different types of pet food. These blogs link naturally to our wider education content, where you can explore topics like ingredients, digestibility and safe transitioning in more detail.

Not every article is strictly about food. Many cover behaviour, enrichment, training, seasonal care and vet-backed wellbeing advice, because good nutrition works best alongside a healthy routine.

This library of pet food articles is designed to help you make confident, informed choices. For more guidance, explore our Products pages, visit the Education section, or read why Complete is often recommended by vets.

Dogs Swimming

You may have a dog that loves the water but that doesn’t necessarily mean they were born that way. While many believe that canines have an inborn ability to swim, that’s not the case for all breeds. So, before you take your new pooch for a dip, carry on reading.

Energetic Dogs

Got yourself an unruly pooch? While perhaps some breeds are more so than others, most are energetic in some way or another. How do you know when it’s worth addressing, though? If your dog is overly hyper or excited, barks incessantly, or nips at you – it may be worth

Dog Psychology

Pet owners will know just how intuitive doggos can be and may even believe that they understand more than they let on. Truth is, they’re absolutely right in their thinking.  Research shows that dogs respond to verbal and nonverbal cues the same way a two-year-old child would. They also experience

How to Treat Thyroid Problems in Dogs

Here we were thinking only humans experienced thyroid problems! Turns out, dogs can suffer from hypothyroidism, too.

Common Dog Breeds and Associated Health Problems

Glucosamine is a nutrient best known for supporting your dog’s long-term joint health and mobility. It’s a combination of glutamine (an all-important amino acid) and glucose (sugar), that helps to form and
