Large breed dogs are easier to feed with ready-made dry food. They are balanced in nutrients, contain additives for digestion, wool, and the genitourinary system. There are therapeutic lines for animals with poor health. Natural diets are difficult to balance so that the dog receives all the necessary nutrients. Breeders and pet owners often choose foreign feed.They are distinguished by good quality, composition without an abundance of plant components. But the choice of feed is complicated by the fact that many popular feeds are temporarily or permanently banned from import into Russia. The reason is the content in them of GMOs that are not declared in the composition. Many feeds from Germany, Canada, Spain, Great Britain, Lithuania, the Netherlands, and the Czech Republic were banned. The black list includes ACANA, 1st Choice, Hill's, GO!, Brit. So far, they are still found on store shelves (remnants of past batches), but it is not known how the situation will develop further. It remains to be hoped that the ban will soon be lifted. In the meantime, we will consider feed produced in Russia or allowed to be imported into its territory.
