Dog Food for Low-Activity & Urban Indian Pets
Why the "couch potato" lifestyle of many city dogs requires a specialized nutritional approach.
The Urban Dog's Dilemma: Low Exercise, High-Calorie Food
Most dogs in Indian cities live in apartments and get limited exercise—often just short leash-walks. However, many "premium" dog foods are formulated for active or working dogs, packing a high-calorie punch. This mismatch leads to a silent epidemic of pet obesity, joint problems, and stress-related behavioral issues like excessive barking or chewing.
Why Calorie Density Matters for Indoor Pets
A diet for a low-activity dog should focus on:
- Nutrient Density over Calorie Density: Providing all essential vitamins and minerals without excess calories.
- Satiety: Using fiber and quality protein to help the dog feel full and satisfied, reducing begging and overeating.
- Mental Wellness: Incorporating ingredients that help manage stress and boredom common in under-stimulated pets.
- Joint Support: Maintaining a healthy weight is the #1 factor in preventing long-term joint strain.
