Can lead to addictive behavior

When the term "can lead to addictive behavior" is used in dog nutrition, it means that certain ingredients or flavors in the dog food can be so appealing to the dog that it becomes downright addicted to it. This means that the dog may start to prefer this food or these treats and refuse everything else. This often applies to foods that are particularly strongly flavored or contain additives such as sugar or artificial flavors.

This addictive behavior can become problematic because the dog may refuse a balanced diet and instead only want to eat the preferred food. In the long term, this can lead to malnutrition or health problems. It is therefore important to pay attention to the ingredients of the dog food and to ensure a balanced and varied diet that covers all the nutrients your dog needs.
