title: [The feeding of dogs in Switzerland. The results of an inquiry].
abstract: Results of inquiry made of 2190 dog owners about customs of feeding and keeping dogs in Switzerland are presented. The diet most often used consists of cereal flakes which are given together with feedstuff from animals or other commercial dogfood. Usually, only one meal per day is given and the amount of food is based on a constant body weight. Regular feeding of bones appears to have a good effect on digestion and dental health.
