If you're trying to figure out the optimal dog food for your Belgian Sheepdog, you should definitely consider the option of a high-protein dog food like those available from Spot & Tango. The Belgian Sheepdog is an AKC Registered breed in the 'Herding Group' with roots originating back to Belgium. The serious-minded, bright and watchful Belgian Sheepdog with a somewhat reserved demeanor, generally does particularly well on a high-protein dog food. This is thanks, in part to, its large size combined with its usually high energy levels.

Why Breeds, Like the Belgian Sheepdog in the AKC Herding Group May Need a High-Protein Dog Food
Like all dog breeds within the AKC’s Herding Group, the Belgian Sheepdog has an instinctive ability to control the movements, or 'gather', other animals. Originally bred to protect or herd livestock, the Belgian Sheepdog is a breed that used to run non-stop for most of the day. However, changes to the Belgian Sheepdog in modern-day society leave the breed less active than in years past. We'd recommend the Belgian Sheepdog a high-protein dog food to help the dog manage their weight and still provide them plenty of protein for their naturally active lifestyle.

seasonallyWhy A Usually Energetic Belgian Sheepdog May Need a High-Protein Dog Food
The Belgian Sheepdog is considered an energetic dog and thus your Belgian Sheepdog could benefit from a high-protein dog food due to that simple fact alone. A dog food rich in high-protein helps to build muscle and support the energy levels of an energetic Belgian Sheepdog. Furthermore, the calories in high-protein dog food are more efficiently used by an energetic dog like the Belgian Sheepdog. In fact, dogs that don't receive enough protein can actually experience muscle loss and see a noticeable drop in energy levels. Lastly, a high-protein dog food that's optimal for the Belgian Sheepdog is low in carbohydrates which are a non-essential component of a healthy diet for most dogs, but especially true for an energetic Belgian Sheepdog.
