Please review the disclaimer at the bottom of this page.
While we endeavor to present a variety of views toward nutrition on this website, we have had personal success with and believe strongly in the natural approach to canine diet. However, should you choose to use commercial kibble, please be sure to carefully research content and quality of the various brands (including especially percentage of fat content which is critical to most Miniature Schnauzers - low fat content is best) by using one of the dog food comparison charts listed below.
Note: the appearance of any specific topic or brand name on this website does not necessarily suggest our personal recommendation. This information is provided so that you may make your own informed decisions. If you have any questions or comments, please feel free to e-mail any of us: Tania Kidd, Karen Neal, Kathy Thom. Always consult with your veterinarian before changing anything about your dog's diet. Underlying health problems may be affected by changes in diet.
