A good quality and balanced diet is fundamental to provide nutrients to all body parts including the nervous system. The food you are providing affects Natasha level of energy, brain health and indirectly, for these reasons, her behavior. I would recommend a complete dry or wet diet as Royal Canin or Hills.
