Tailored nutrition for your Dogo Argentino
Two facts about Dogo Argentinos
1. White out
Few canines come in only one color but the Dogo Argentino is one. Their short, trim coat comes in a single hue: White, which makes them instantly recognizable. They often have a black patch or spotting over one of their eyes, the only color intrusion in their frosty fur.
2. Don’t leave me!
Most dogs like being part of the group – dogs or humans – and the Dogo Argentino is no exception. Dogs are pack animals so are relaxed when in the company of others. Having to be home all day while their family is at work and school doesn’t sit well with this breed. Bringing in a fellow canine will help the Dogo Argentino adjust until they see your face again.
