That includes a mix of: Proteins, Carbohydrates, Fats, Vitamins, Minerals, Water. Proteins: Body tissues are made of proteins. Fats: Fats give your dog energy. Carbohydrates: Carbs come from plants. Vitamins and minerals: These are needed for many of the chemical reactions in your dog's body, such as building bones and keeping them strong. Your dog can get all the vitamins and minerals they need in "balanced" dog food, including: Vitamin A, Vitamin D, Vitamin E, Vitamin K, B-complex vitamins, Calcium, Phosphorus. Water makes up more than half of an adult dog's body weight.
